You're gonna need it.

No, actually I won't. I've been expanding my horizons on multiple levels away from ebay.

* I have my own design company which develops logos, storefronts, etc for customers on and off ebay, and
* I am now writing articles regarding economic news for a syndicated blog.
* I have started my own off-ebay site which is rapidly challenging ebay for total sales and it has only been open for 2.5 months
* I will be selling on Amazon by March

and, if all else fails I have a pretty good education to fall back on and a former employer who asks me to come back on a regular basis.

ebay is just advertising and gravy for me now.

Since I'm not thrilled with him already, how does CEO sound?

hehehe

For .com or .ca. After I saw how they turned Jordon into a glorified PR clerk and Babysitter, they couldn't pay me enough to be head of .ca. LOL

[treasure-pot]

Definitely for .com - and don't worry, I won't ask you to move. lol

[whoscloset]

You would have to drag me out of paradise in a straight-jacket and leg-irons. LOL

[treasure-pot]

I know you are a sharp cookie - you could just make virtual appearances in San Jose. lol

Now your talkin!

Hi,
Seems as though a lot of conversations are between you three in every area. It wastes a lot of everybody else's time reading your personal sniping away at each other. Why don't you get each others MSN. I know you would probably be as bored very quickly as we all are reading your back and forths!
I do think that "Bill" is using this forum to promote his books which does seem a bit unfair. If he is here just for giving his "educated" opinions then he does not have to have pictures of his books!

well of course he's going to promote his books!! people usually do! i don't see anything wrong or unfair with that, if i wrote a book, i'd be showing it everywhere too.

I stopped posting on the "regular" boards sometime last summer because because I felt that the responding posters were comprised of a bunch of bored (desperate?) and catty housewives doling out shots at each other and taking the position that there is no stupid answer, only stupid questions.

I thought the PS board would would be more business like:-(

Tea, for someone who is closing up eBay shop, you leave the impression that you are trying to do as much damage to eBay as possible, in the process attempting to draw as many users as you can into your, negative oriented, downward spiral.

I understand that you are not happy on and with eBay. Fair enough and fully respected! However, if it's time to go then why would you not go gracefully?

You are spending an awful lot of time and energy distributing negativity. If you put just a portion of that energy towards furthering your business or good causes, you will make a big difference for yourself and for others.

Dear tea, please don't take my comments as a put-down in any sense but I have yet to read anything uplifting from you.

Constructive criticism can be a great catalyst but encouraging people to quit or organizing boycotts (partially quitting) does seem so counter-productive.

C'mon, things can't be that bad! Hope your weekend goes better (I do mean it)!

...very funny!!:^O

We all have 2 choices as sellers. Sell on ebay or don't sell on ebay. Nobody is forcing us to be here. Ebay is in the business to make money just like everyone of us. If they want to raise their rates or change their policies it's up to them.
If we had a potential buyer email us saying they didn't like our prices, would we change our price. I think not. We wouldn't let any buyers dictate what price we should list at. Why should we have the right to dictate ebay's prices or policies?
Tea, I remember reading in one of your past posts that you won't sell to low FB buyers. I personally don't agree with that policy but it's non of my business how you choose to sell. If that works for you then good. ebays policies work for them.
Ebay is a seller just like us. They are selling their product to us. We choose to buy their product or not, just like any other buyers.
Tea I'm not trying to single you out it's just that I remembered that low FB policy of yours. I personally have nothing against you or any other seller here. I have the choice to accept anyone's comments or not.

Remember, The key word is choice

OMG I'm going to send you a bill for cleaning my computer!! You just made me spew all over the thing!!! BWAHAHAHA Truer words have not been spoken but you forgot to mention that if they don't like what you say they troll your listings to press the report button. X-( Ijits!

God help you if you call them bored housewives over there, they'll skin you alive, chew you up and spit you out with all kinds of catty, stupid remarks. It kils me to hear all these people freak right out over these changes and other things. They hardly sell anything & most of the ones freaking won't even be affected!! sheesh

When you find doing what's right hard to do - you've got a problem.

[katiusciav]

[recped]

God help you if you call them bored housewives over there, they'll skin you alive,

YEAH! I'm bored but I'm NOT a housewife!

Kat, try Seller Central or the Feedback boards on .com, never a dull moment.
