eBay's Best Bargain - Itself

When the first hue and cry was raised as the deluge of business altering changes fell on the eBay community, the new CEO stepped forward to refer to them as 'noise from a small percent of our passionate and vocal minority' or some such nonsense. To some extent it was correct at the time. The vast majority of eBay sellers pay no attention to announcements and sort roll with the punches when things change. But as the new changes took affect and more and more sellers found themselves buried in search due to flooding of categories by mega-sellers, and with monthly fees that were higher than their sales, or having auctions pulled for confusing and unexplained reasons, more and more began to realize something was terribly wrong. Ah, why do I even try to explain. The proof is in the pudding they say. I give it 1Q of 2009 and all the articles such as the one above will have disappeared much like the dodo. So print them out and frame them. Perhaps you can sell them on eBay. We may find them on the 36th page behind those $49.00 AAA batteries from Buy.com or perhaps we will not even be able to find them at all in the new Best Match search, it is terribly broken and doesn't look to be fixed any time soon. So you will have to post a link for prospective buyers and perhaps they can find it. And I do hope you are not needing the money for anything important. As you will be a new seller you will have to accept Paypal and if your buyer pays you with it, you more than likely won't see it for at least 3 weeks. eBay is holding funds for 21 days on every thing from cd's to toaster ovens. But make sure you ship it the day after purchase for free and from your own pocket or you will risk getting dinged on your stars, which will put you to page 132 in search, and you will more than likely get a negative feedback, which will entitle Paypal to hold your funds for 3 weeks. Yes, there is much joy in eBayland these days. The fun never stops. OP you really should join us, yes, you really should.
