Extremely BAD news for Ebay Sellers, It's happened..

See? That's what happens when I stop selling for awhile, I'm totally out of the loop. One thing I did notice with some aucitons was that people were charging an extra 5% if the buyer pays through paypal. I didn't think that was allowed, but maybe it should be if it isn't. I'm going to try to rush and finish up my auctions and hopefully just be done with ebay, at least until they decide to switch some things back.

D2 that's a huge no no in ebays eyes and I turn people in for that if I see it.

The only people that can charge are some countries like Germany.

If they are in the U.S. or Ca., turn them in

People are talking.

Has anyone gone into the forums in the U.K Ebay?

I've heard from a few out that way in ours, and I can just imagine it's pretty much the same.

Here is a very small list other then Amazon for sellers of the unique stuff like ours to try out

Bidville.com
ecrater.com
and a new one if found that gained my interest,
Blujay.com

It's free and I'm not in a hurry to sell so I'll toss a few things up that way.

My favorite so far is eCrater.
It gets listed through Google too and it's soo easy to use and everything is
ALL ours. It's not only completely free, but intergrated with Google Check Out (as blujay is) but we can ask and do what we want freely.

I put one item up today that ended with out bids earlier this morning on ebay. Not RB related. It's NOT an auction site so you have to have a good idea of what your items value is.
It stays until sold and free gallery. No PayPal was my choice.
I'm not expecting it to sell right away but as my auctions end one by one, I think I'm going to put those items there.
I love the feel of Bidville but I REALLY like that one.

Hope the buyers find it

What do you mean about waiting 21 days?

From the Paypal user agreement:

Amendment to the PayPal User Agreement


Effective Date: March 14, 2008
Beginning March 14, 2008, the PayPal User Agreement is being amended to include a new section 10.4 as follows:

10.4 eBay Item Hold.

eBay item hold. PayPal, in its sole discretion, may place a hold on a payment you receive for an eBay transaction when PayPal believes there may be a high level of risk associated with the transaction. If PayPal places a hold on your payment, it will show as "pending" in your PayPal Account.

Release of eBay item hold. PayPal will release the eBay item hold after 21 days unless you receive a Dispute, Claim, Chargeback, or Reversal on the transaction subject to the hold. PayPal may release the hold earlier if either of the following applies:

(a) The buyer leaves positive feedback on eBay, or

( PayPal can confirm delivery. PayPal will confirm delivery if you use USPS or FedEx to ship the item and (i) use PayPal shipping labels, or (ii) upload tracking information to PayPal via the transaction details page. This applies to US domestic transactions only.

Additional hold period. If you receive a Dispute, Claim, Chargeback, or Reversal on the transaction subject to the eBay item hold, PayPal may hold the payment in your Account until the matter is resolved pursuant to this Agreement.

If a hold takes place, we are required to ship the item first before PayPal pays us. IF they pay us.
This makes it easier for a buyer to do a reversal or chargeback for funds, no questions asked.

Going back to my hovel now.

Luv you guys. I'm just in a carpy mood

Wow, what a rip!

Aww, you ok Gale? *hug*

well carp!!! I wish ebay would go back to the way it was before. I liked it better when they just responded to complaints and fixed it then instead of making more problems.

Oh yeah southern.

I was just in a "mood" for no reason what so ever haha

I get that ways sometimes.

Hey, I sold three dolls on my new sellers, old buyers ID.
Now I'm up to a total of 4 whopping sales over all. haha

Gawd, it seems sooo weird to be starting waaaaaay back.

I'm still a PS seller on my other and it's kind of sad watching
it fall with lack of selling.
But, at least is safe and sound. I don't know for what but it is.

I think that's unfair. I've only ever dealt with three buyers on ebay, and thankfully they've all been good ones. Currently I have nothing else to sell.
