MY OPINION ABOUT EBAY

There are over 900 Squidoo lenses about Ebay so you can add this one to the pile. Ebay is the most popular buzz word and where everyone spends all their free time. You can find almost anything on Ebay. The best deals are on Ebay. If you're not on Ebay, you are really missing out. To quote Paris Hilton "Ebay is Hot". This is my favorite line: earn thousands on Ebay and turn your hobby into a full time business. Ebay this, Ebay that, the list goes on and on about the wonderful, magical world of Ebay. Everyone is talking about Ebay. Someone please tell me, what is the big freaking deal about Ebay? I know this lens is going to catch a lot of heat but that's my opinion and I absolutely hate Ebay!

MY DEFINITION OF EBAY 

Photobucket
I don't care how pretty the website is or how many colorful special effect ads floating around the site, Ebay is just one big yard sale. There's no way a garage could hold all that junk. One man's junk is another man's treasure. It's up to you to find the treaures you seek on Ebay. Go foward, your journey awaits you. Oh well, at least you don't have to worry about postponing on the rainy days.

SO MANY EBAY FEES 

If you ever sold anything on Ebay, you already know about the long list of fees. If you are new to Ebay, please read the fine print. It's very easy to cut into half your profits with all those fees. I have listed a few explanations to get you started. Don't forget your reading glasses.

Click here for Ebay's Main Fee Page

Classified............ Same as insertion fee but different layout
Final Value.......... 8.75% of the price of item sold (ouch)
Insertion............. Price Ebay charges to list your items
Paypal................ Third party payment processor that Ebay uses to pay you
Real Estate......... This fee has its very own section
Store................. Monthly subscription fee based on your production
Transaction......... Fee charged when listing vehicles

SELLERS - CHECK THIS WEBSITE OUT 

Power Sellers Unite (PSU) was "born" when eBay implemented rate increases that significantly impacted sellers large & small. The fee hikes affect buyers also, as most sellers have no choice but to pass on the eBay fees to buyers. Our focus has now shifted away from the eBay boycott in early 2005 to helping sellers, and buyers, find the best alternative auction site(s) for their needs. PSU is a fast- growing group of online members - seasoned and new - with common goals. We enjoy a fun, fast-paced environment where all facets of e-Commerce are discussed and debated. PSU offers site navigation tools, free auction tools, and multiple search options right from the home page!

GET FREE CASH BACK FROM EBAY 

Not everyone is going to agree with me on this Ebay issue. So if you absolutely have to use Ebay why not get some cash back for your trouble.

Sign up all your friends and get cash back from their online purchases for a lifetime.

I'm freaking sick of ebay the last two purchases I've made were misrepresented and i've had to go around and around with the sellers. And a word to the wise don't buy anything from Recoupit on ebay. They sold me a "working Dell computer" but failed to list that the computer had no floppy drive or cd rom thingy. I contacted them and they got all upset and finally after a week of emailing them, I told them I wanted a refund. I didn't here from them until today (four work days after asking for my money back) They were a little on the rude side when responding to my emails, I was trying to be nice at first about it, ya know get everything sorted out, and get on with my life. The moral of my story :ebay has gone to hell in a hand basket and most of the sellers on ebay are lying theives. Sorry about venting.

[Exactly - I have thought I was going to have funning selling on ebay, only to have become very frustrated with their acquizations that I am selling counterfeits. I have offered to show receipts. I ask questions and get only generic answers. I took a survey today that they sent me and I rated then very very low. Next thing you know, I have been blocked until I take a tutorial. Which I had already taken before. I guess they didn't like my answers. It is very clear that they do not care about the people that are helping them make money by using ebay. I think I am going to take my business elsewhere.
