why does ebay hate me?

Filed under: My Friends at eBay — acarlover at 2:17 pm on Friday, December 29, 2006

Just before I went to bed last night, I got a little letter from ebay. Since I may be a threat to the positive experience of ebay, I now have a 6 month listing limit, rather then 3 months that they gave me before. The only difference is, I have become very vocal in my displeasure of ebays tactics. Not only on the ebay forum, but on tv as well. Since my first listing limits began, I have had all positive feedback. In fact, I have NEVER had a negative feedback in 7 years!! . In 6 months, I can request, in writing, a new review of my account. Since giving me listing limits, I have been very vocal on the ebay forum called safe harbor. Safe?? Well, pages upon pages on the safe harbor have been removed by ebays moderators. They really don’t want too much criticism, nor do they want to hear any chatter about lawyers and new websites. I am starting to hate ebay. Its like a divorce…the thing that once brought so much happiness is now causing the greatest grief.
All year long I bought beautiful estate jewelry (much of it Tiffany) to list over the holidays. Some of this jewelry I even bought on ebay…They had no problem with me all those months of buying. Now, however, I can only list 7 pieces of Tiffany. Many sellers, faced as I am with listing limits, are simply opening new accounts. I am so proud of my perfect feedback and I feel like I have nothing to hide. I have always felt its the purveyors of the fake crap who keep coming up with new accounts. One, I have heard about has had over 500 ebay accounts!!!!! Funny, ebay hasn’t caught on to that one. No, they shut me down,. Brilliant move ebay..I’m a real threat! So, my divorce from ebay continues. Its very unpleasant and may require lawyers, but I will proceed just as I did with my first divorce, knowing right is right and ebay can learn to live without me.
