Why the eBay Scream?

I wrote the blog post below about a week and half ago. I finally felt like posting it after responding to a blog post over at Senseless Sellers.

Here’s my response to that post on Senseless Seller’s blog.

Can you believe there are “successful” eBay sellers with attitudes like this one? What a complete disgrace to the reputation of what a seller, whether on eBay or anywhere else, should be! Could you imagine walking into Walmart or any other “successful” retailer and having them treat you this way. “Get your facts straight or get out”. What a joke!

Turning a Negative Into A Positive

In a recent AuctionBytes survey question asking whether the new eBay feedback changes will have a positive or negative impact on their business, 98.7 percent of the 1,640 eBay sellers taking the survey responded “negative”.

98.7%… Are you kidding me? 98.7%…

I didn’t take this survey but I will be happy to count myself amongst the whopping 1.3% of survey respondents welcoming the new eBay feedback changes.

eBay “Touchy-Feely” Days Are Over

The elimination of true mutual feedback completely changes the culture of eBay for the worse.”

This is a quote taken from an experienced eBay seller’s newsletter in response to eBay feedback changes announced recently.

This eBay seller, author and entrepreneur is far more experienced with eBay and it’s history than I am and his opinion is one that I value. Is he right? My opinion would take far to long to fully explain so I’ll just say, “Yes and No.” What I do know is that gone are the days an eBay seller can leverage “whether or not” to issue positive eBay feedback based upon how their eBay customer, who has already paid, “treats” them.
