I hear that sucking sound of a whirlpool spinning into the drainpipes
one another subject, and this is funny..
I used to sell on fleaBay under comic-art.com
in jan 2005 fleaBay pissed me off fo rthe final time and I not only
stopped listing there. I TOLD THEM TO CLOSE MY ACCOUNT!!
CLOSE IT.. TURN ME INTO A "Not a Registered user" from the one-time
powerseller that I was
even today my feedback is over 2000 with 99% positive and I have a
higher feedback # than Sean who sells regularly
so just this week I was shocked to get an email from fleaBay support
asking me if I wanted to reopen my sell account
They must be getting real desperate if that's their new mission.
this is what I have to say to them:
"Hey a*******s. You should have been paying attention in 2005.. Now
yu can drop dead, and please.. let me watch as it happens.."

The other "catch" is that you have to manually list the five items
on Ebay. I always use a bulk loader and you can't use this to take
advantage of Ebay's special deal. Instead you have to tediously
load each item. It's simply not worth it to me. FRANC

Subject: [MOPO] eBay follies
eBay started a "customer appreciation" deal a few months ago, where
EVERY seller gets the first five auction listing with no listing
fees whatsoever! And they give you that same deal every single
month! Wow! Now you know why you see the same crappy "million
dollar" listings over and over and over, because they don't cost the
"sellers" anything, since they of course never sell. And of course
it lets eBay have some "high dollar" items, because without giving
the listings free it is hard to imagine who would list a high dollar
item on eBay.
But there is a "catch" which results in sellers getting royally
screwed, and eBay making fortunes. You have to pay 8.75% on those
free listings instead of the regular "tiered" rate, with a cap of
$25 per item, AND THEY FORCE YOU INTO THIS DEAL WHETHER YOU WANT IT
OR NOT, on the first five auction items each month.
So every day, lots of sellers list expensive auction items as their
first five items of the month and only first learn they are paying a
whopping 8.75% when they get their bill. One more great way eBay
enriches itself by taking advantage of its sellers.

for a typical discussion started by a seller who was cheated by this
promotion. He will chalk it up to experience and lose $10 or so, as
will millions of other sellers.
And eBay will keep circling the drain.
