Since ebay 1st arrived on the scene as a small auction website, things have changed alot. Once upon a time when ebay was a fledgling company, it used to be fair to its sellers. If an item did not sell you got your listing fee back, the Final Value fee's were reasonable, feedback systems were fair, and you could offer a range of payment choices.
Well then ebay decided that it wanted to buy paypal, the unsold item fee was scrapped and ebay decided they would keep the money instead, they removed the right for the seller to leave anything but a positive for a buyer, regardless of how bad a buyer they are. They started to force people to use their payment portal of Paypal, and they charge for that too. Not too mention the ridiculous final value fee's they impose, listing fee's, and if you want an item to get seen, well just pay 14.95, otherwise risk going un noticed. Even the basic shop has jumped up in price by 160%.
Well now paypal has jumped on the bandwagon and started to impose all kinds of unreasonable rules, such as holding payments until a buyer leaves a positive feedback, or wait 21 days. Their fee's have gone up massively, and the thing is, this is all aimed at the seller, who in theory is the backbone of ebay, for if no one was selling, there would be nothing to buy.
Well there are ways around all of the above mentioned, and im going to help every single seller to be able to operate on ebay without being scammed by ebay, paypal and the buyers.
