Ever since he has taken leadership ebay has gone down the toilet! ebay is bordering on criminal. Mark my words, ebay will die! I agree, the stock holders should demand John Donohoe CEO step down.

I have only sold 207 items. However, from what I have observed and experienced, it's time to go to the river and Yahoo. The policies of ebay are self serving to say the least. I am referring to third party link policies, fees, email addressed and links in about me, and the exclusive use of paypal! There is so much more. I wish all a very BLESSED day!

Everyone is complaining, this poster told us exactly what is wrong with the new search. THIS IS A MUST READ!!! Are you experiencing slow sales?, look at your item views, they are not being viewed. The ebay policy which was suppose to give the buyer a good experience and reward you for giving good service and free shipping, is in conflict with the new search. Have you worked hard to keep up your dsr's and positive feedback? It does not matter with the new search, Is your search standing raised? It does not matter. Did you offer free shipping to get a better search standing , It does not matter. Here is the cold hard truth. The new search rewards sellers with lower feedback, lower dsr's, and policy violations. Here is how it is. Those sellers are pricing their items dirt cheap, when they do so, they sell more. They are placed as the first item at the top of the page if they sell more, no matter if it is bad quality, bad customer service, bad shipping , or whatever, they get top search because they sell more. So ebay telling you that you have a raised search is not true, the truth is if your cheaper and I mean a lot cheaper, you are number one in the search standing in ebays eyes. If your selling a better quality item you are cheated. I urge you to COMPLAIN TO EBAY. Contact ebay customer service and complain today!!! Contact the BBB in San Jose CA. This is absolutely true I have had several people investigate, I JUST SPOKE WITH EBAY, THE REP AGREED IT WAS WRONG AND THAT IT WAS VERY UNFAIR, THE REP CHECKED ACCOUNTS AND AGREED WITH ME AND SAID SHE WOULD PASS IT ALONG. IF THEY ARE NOT LISTENING TO THOUSANDS OF SELLERS, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO ONE REP. MAKE A COMPLAINT! DO IT! IF YOU DO NOT, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. This was all planned, it is a scheme to get you to list more, list with free shipping which raised your FVF, didn't it. It all did not matter, it increased ebays revenue, and your sales have nose dived. I fell into the trap I have 900 listings with free shipping, and my sales are way below what they should be. I looked at my active listings no views. The seller posting this is completely right. We also recommend you contact the District Attorney's office in the county where the business is located to file a complaint. Many local district attorneys, through consumer fraud units, prosecute fraudulent practices in their communities. You may contact the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office at the following: County of Santa Clara Office of the District Attorney 70 West Hedding Street, West Wing San Jose, California 95110 Telephone: (408) 299-7400 E-mail: webmaster@da.co.santa-clara.ca.us Web site: http://www.sccgov.org/portal/site/da/ In addition, we suggest that you contact the California Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General (AG). The AG's office establishes and operates projects and programs to protect consumers from fraudulent, unfair, and illegal activities that victimize consumers. The AG enforces consumer laws by seeking injunctions and civil penalties and has jurisdiction to stop a particular business practice and seek penalties for violations of the law.

Are you experiencing slow sales?, look at your item views, they are

How can you tell if John Donahoe is lying? His lips are moving. Only in this case, he's not lying, he's Ebayspeaking (a specialised kind of corporatespeak) and spinning and dancing around the questions with strange answers that indicate that he really doesn't have a clue what's actually going on. Or that he does, and he's just determined not to admit it... Reminds me of and old joke. How can you tell if John Donahoe is lying? His lips are moving.
