Default Ebay

Yes, Ebay.
Fuck them,
so bad.

There a horrible, horrible biz.
There listing fees and final value fees, along with stupid little things like a dollar to have your listing in fucking BOLD.

If these forums were ran like eBay I couldnt afford to post here.
(.50c a post, $1.00 for a link in your post! $1.00 everytime your post has your avatar in it.)
Shit, hope I didnt give Dave any ideas!

not to mention how easy it is to get ripped off with broken products.

Oh and the fact eBay owns paypal so they get that transfer fee to.

Fucking cashcows man.

To sum it up,

Ebay sucks.

Well I know everyone already feels this way,

But I thought eBay was horrible enough to deserve its own thread in the shitlist.

It did always feel nice to rack up a couple thousand in listing fees, then bail out and open a new account..

For all you guys interested, me and another member of this forum (not sure if he wants to be named) are planning on launching a new network of sites to pick up where ebay fucked up. Its a rather huge project though, so it could be a few months before anything goes live. We will need beta testers though, so if your interested in that drop me an EMAIL not a pm, an EMAIL at profitspower@gmail.com and Ill get back to you in a few weeks when beta testing is ready.

Keep in mind I haven't sold on ebay in about a year... They charge your credit card for the fees owed at the end of the billing cycle... BUT, I would simply register using a prepaid virtual debit card with only a few dollars on in.. So by the time payment came due I had made some nice change and racked up as much a $2000 in fees for the month.. Of course when your virtual debit card was declined they temp suspend your account until you pay the balance.. But at that point I just moved on to another account I had ready and waiting...

I literally had Zero cost of doing business, not even product cost.. And it was not a digital product either or stolen or anything I had laying around.... They were items printed off the internet for free... 100% positive feedback and at least 100 return customers... But alas that boat has sailed....

I too have strong animosity against this. Any shithead can ruin your selling rep but you can't reciprocate how awful an experience was? Get the hell outta here...
