Didn't anyone ever explain to the two-bit idiots that run eBay (listen up, John Donahoe), "If it's not broken, DON'T FIX IT!". They had the perfect site, the perfect business model, and then they decided to just flush it all down the toilet a couple years ago. Hey eBay - you stupid sh*ts - stop trying to be like Amazon! You USED TO BE BETTER than AMAZON. I bought almost everything on eBay! Now I don't even bother, I just go to Amazon. It's easier to find what I need, and it's CHEAPER. Oh yeah, and I will NEVER SELL AGAIN on eBay - I'm tired of getting ass-raped of all my profits and I"m sick of having auctions cancelled for NO APPARENT REASON, or for reasons that make NO LOGICAL SENSE. These dolts need to all take some remedial classes. The first one - "Common Sense 101". Get a freaking clue, because you obviously have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what you're doing. The sellers fled, and now the shareholders are bailing like rats from a sinking ship. eBay – what a bunch of complete morons.

Time to stick a fork in it. The "good old days" are gone forever as evidenced by the lack of any legitimate competition rising to replace the traditional auction style ebay of old. Ebay is done.

They send products that are different than mentioned and expect me to complain about it to them! They don't let a negative feedback to be left. They expect first to speak with the seller and then leave a negative feedback!!! They are listed as PowerSeller and call themselves as trusted seller. They list items that are not there in stock and send something else when ordered. Also, they charge more for the items that are listed. One can get it cheaper if bought elsewhere. eBay.in itself claims that product was sold at a high price!!!! People who list on eBay.in charge a lot as delivery charges.

The original concept was awesome but it went corporate and now it must die. Anything corporate is based on greed and ebay has become one of the greediest. No more fun for the little guy...just tons of import knockoffs straight from China and Hong Kong. Goodbye ebay...I knew you when! ebay is imploding…and I couldn’t be happier.

You don't mention the five free listings are MANDATORY unless the seller is using a third part in order to do his listings. This ploy, along with the 21 day Paypal holds, the rolling reserves, etc. are holding up Ebay at the present time. Long ago they by passed their duty of selling exposure for a fee so that sellers can make sales and instead went wild with outrageous policies that drove sellers away and buried the remaining sellers' listings in favor of exposure for their diamond sellers. Their main source of revenue is no longer SALES - which makes sense but now is the selling of ads and the fleecing of sellers! They stubbornly adhere to this brainless path and they are losing business, losing sales and losing sellers. They have totally earned what they are getting right now and they have also earned their reputation as the most hated company on the internet! The sales are stopping but the "noise" continues!
