eBay Worsening

Yeah they make more like 15% or more once you figure in PayPal

Thats one of their problems, Ebay used to be cheap to list and sell on, now once you sell it you are almost afraid to see what profit you end up with, 15% of gross or more is usually 100% of alot of people's profit, thus people ran to Craigs list or something like that.

They kept raising their rates to stay with Amazon, you are making tons of cash every quarter so lets raise our rates to what others charge and make some more money lol

Did it work?? hell no! ... why? because people sold alot of used item and such on Ebay and didnt use Amazon, now that they are both pretty much the same price people gave up or went looking for a better or cheaper place.

Why raise rates sky high when you got all the people using you? ... So people will get mad and discover other web sites? another complete blunder by Meg and John Donahoe, people have left and are finding other places all because they just couldnt afford to list and couldnt figure out how to list, they made it from simple to now complicated as hell for a newer user.

Think, why would they keep raising fee's when the were clearly making tons of money, why raise it to what others charge to make people look other places?

High fee's might have worked in the 90's because no other existed like Ebay, now just about any person can make their own site for practically nothing or go to one of 100 other sites, good move Ebay you made the wrong move for years, its just finally amplified by the economic times and your turn to wanting to sell items that are on a 1000 other sites instead of being unique.

Lets talk about the economic times, Ebay should be blasting every other site out of the water right now if they would have stuck to what worked, low fee's and a level playing field for all sellers, the Diamond sellers are now sticking it to Ebay and they have to take it because Donahoe ran everyone else off by giving Diamond sellers a elevated level in search and free listings of NON UNIQUE items that everyone else on the web sells including the Diamond sellers, these people all have their own websites which when you buy from them on Ebay they send you coupons to use at their own website and basically tell you not to buy from them on Ebay .. go to their own website lol

Donahoe I wish you would read these because they are 100% true, you and Meg ruined Ebay and people that sold there, soon I hope the media will turn on you and report whats really going on on Ebay and send you packing without a cent to your name.

CEO's should be held 100% liable for what they do to a company, especially this guy, he has openly insulted smaller sellers by calling them "noise", this guy needs slapped by everyone from the stockholders to the sellers and even the buyers, because if it werent for Donahoe and Meg the buyers would be paying alot less for items on Ebay right now, fee's fee's and more fee's is all they know.
