Once again Ebay has decided to make selling on Ebay a totally unrewarding venture. These new seller rules that count cancelled transactions as defects are just another ruse by Ebay to restrict potential discounts for sellers. I deal in electronics, stock is very fluid, sometimes manufacturers switch distributors with no warning and stock availability can go from 100 units to zero in a couple of hours. We deal with 1000's of products across multiple locations. I currently hold top-rated status and the new "defect rules" will place me below standard. THANKS EBAY FOR YOUR TOTAL DISREGARD AND DISRESPECT FOR THE BUSINESS THAT I GENERATE FOR YOU. Why can't we have protection from unscrupulous buyers who think nothing of changing their mind after we pay to offer free shipping? Ebay is totally slanted in favour of buyers. Why does EBAY have to impose ridiculous compliance standards that will inhibit any potential top-rated discounts for seller's. EBAY seems to forget that as sellers we pay DEARLY in Ebay transaction fees, at 8 to 10 percent of sales and shipping. . What value do we get for this money paid to Ebay? All we get is TERRIBLE to NON-Existant SELLER SUPPORT, Ever increasing restrictions on achieving top-rated status and discounts, zero protection from unreasonable buyers, unreasonable stocking expectations and shipping times. Unreasonable holiday return policy demands. It is about time that EBAY stopped acting like petty dictators. andchanged its outlook on this marketplace. All EBAY is concerned with is siphoning-off as much money commissions from sellers as possible and Ebay does not even even declaring the income in Canada or USA. They declare their income in Switzerland!. Can we sellers start getting some real value for the money we pay to Ebay? Totally disillusioned and really discouraged with the whole Ebay treatment of sellers!
It is time that Ebay began to think win-win as regards their relations with Sellers.
This idea of Holiday returns unitil 31 January is preposterous! It is just another way that Ebay will allow buyers to abuse sellers and cause extra shipping expnses to sellers.
