Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings
Ah, Bruce... but that is because there are so many dishonest sellers out there -- both on ebay and off ebay. Its unfortunate that good sellers have to get lumped in with the bad, but the $$$ which makes everything run -- including ebay -- is the buyer. So ebay's protection of the buyer is what's allowed ebay to maintain it's profits and grow. As someone who buys a lot off ebay because I live rural and can't find what I want locally, I shop on ebay. I've bought things like new Ugg boots gotten 2 left sides -- yes, you read that correctly. Two sides of the same foot!!!To get my money back, I have to pay for shipping. Also defective items. So it cost me to shop on ebay. If a buyer is shipped the wrong or defective item, why in the world do we have to bear the burden of paying for return shipping? If ebay was really pro-buyer, things like defective items returns shipping cost or not as described return shipping cost would not come out of the buyer's pocket but the sellers. That would certainly eliminate a lot of bad sellers. Whether you sell on an ebay auction or run an off-ebay auction site, there is still a lot of dishonesty. In fact, out-right thievery. We have had more $$$ stolen from us from one of many of your favorite auction sites, Heritage, and believe even with ebay's fees, it's far better to sell on ebay than risk losing your inventory in Heritage's shady inventory procedures.

Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings
I offer to pay return postage if an item is not as described, but there are a lot of sellers who run on such small margins that they refuse to pay for return shipping. So I leave negative feedbacks. Leaving a seller negative feedback puts you at risk of getting negative buyer feedback -- even when they sell you defective items they pick up at a garage sale or thrift store and refuse to pay for return shipping. My solution -- my buying and selling account are separate so that on my selling account, feedback is 100% positive. I leave all buyers positive feedback -- if they pay -- because I believe a buyer paying is what keeps the game going.

Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings
Don't the rules of eBay state that the seller isn't required to pay for the return postage? I sure hope you let the seller know you're going to leave negative feedback if they don't agree to pay the cost of returning the merchandise. The only negative feedback I've ever received is due to miscommunication with the buyer. Instead of contacting me immediately, stating their complaint and working everything out in terms of the return of the item and the refund...they just automatically leave a negative feedback, thinking that's the way it works on eBay. That is not the way it works on eBay. Unfortunately, eBay is so buyer-oriented that there's virtually no recourse against some a--hole buyer who doesn't follow eBay's rules...

Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings
I made the decision to list the bulk of my inventory on my website around the time MPB started. It has worked very well since then. I still keep a store on eBay but if it all becomes too hard I can easily move everything to my site and work from my website. You have done a great job with MPB and many other dealers have moved away from eBay and developed successful websites. The point of my original post is that eBay could have retained this business if they had looked after their sellers.

That way you stay high in the searches but for sellers outside the US it is very difficult to load tracking details because they are not the same as USPS. Bruce made a great decision to leave eBay some years ago. I agree with him that the rules and regulations would make it very difficult for him to operate these days. I feel that eBay could have had far more success by making it easier for sellers to stay with them.

Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings
Its all a bit mystifying. One minute they are encouraging people to open stores, the next they want you to go to auctions. Feedback and ratings don't mean as much as they used to. You now have to prove that you ship within one day and load tracking details if you are to maintain Top Seller status. That way you stay high in the searches but for sellers outside the US it is very difficult to load tracking details because they are not the same as USPS. Bruce made a great decision to leave eBay some years ago. I agree with him that the rules and regulations would make it very difficult for him to operate these days. I feel that eBay could have had far more success by making it easier for sellers to stay with them. A huge number of sellers have transferred their business to websites - many with great success. eBay has lost that market and will never be able to regain it.

Didn't realize you had any past experience with MoviePosterExchange, but I am glad to see your are keeping an open mind. Good luck with your continued auctions with the mealy-mouthed scoundrels.

[MOPO] ebay free listings
I don't have an ebay shop but I have not had an invitation so I guess I am not one of the lucky ones to flood the market. I would have thought that if you were an ebay shop owner and thus invested considerable time and money ebay would have recognised this by ensuring shop owners were first on the list Once again ebay's decision making process baffles me.

Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings
Even though I've been a seller on E-bay for 15 years and have a 99.9% feedback rating and 12,814 positive feedbacks, I did not receive the free lising invitation. Why?? The powers that be at E-bay reviewed my account from a because I did not meet their new 1 business day shipping requirement on enough orders (--Top-Rated Sellers have to meet this requirement on at least 90% on their shipments; I shipped 79.8% of my orders in one day or less--), they revoked my Top-Rated Seller status. Consequently, I did not receive the invitation to parcipate in the current free listings promotion. It's just one more reason why I will eventually be selling eventually through my website, www.captainbijou.com.
