eBay Is a Losing Bid - Barron's

Ebay is killing its sellers with high fees and rediculous rules. They protect the buyers not the sellers in disputes. I was ripped off for over $1000 buy a scammer then eBay and PayPal (an eBay company) basically said "Oh, Well." Any buyer can buy something using Paypal, then dispute the charge and Paypal will take the money back (steal) from your account. My listings are way down and my sales went from 7 - 8,000 per month to less than $800 per month. Needless to say that I am getting ready to loose my "Powerseller" status, but I don't care. It is no advantage to me to be a Powerseller anyway, since you cannot leave real (negative) feedback anymore. eBay and Paypal take 12-15% of your sales in fees, way too much for way too little. I have spent thousands in fees and I get treated like a red-headed stepchild when I have a problem. eBay needs to make some real changes before they go under for good.
