evolution sports marketing, ( not sure of exact name ) stu and lisa, are the latest to get the kiss of death.
they were given complete RIP, but made call after call after call and finally were given
a 6k a month limit. they do 8 times that usually. They have no clue what they did, but some
crazy software program spinning out of control at ebay knows why.
just insane.

That's crap. They sound familiar to me, probably bought something from them at some point. If ebay cannot give a direct and straight answer to someone as to why their account was locked down/suspended/etc, it should be returned to the way it was because they obviously cannot prove they did anything wrong anyway.

THey set up at all of the bigs shows, have 6-8 tables, sadly everything is far too overpriced for me......

I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about, but half of the things eBay does don't even make sense for eBay. I honestly wonder if the people who create their policies and make their decisions are 2nd graders.

Why cut thousands of dollars of sales when you're getting a fat percentage of it? Especially when it's on tenured sellers with good reputations and seemingly for no good reason whatsoever.

oh deff far to overpriced, and can deff act *******, but liek lots of people
if you know them they are really pretty decent. Like i said, I believe ebay
is simply following what some kind of program is telling them. Hard to believe
people could be making these decisions.

ballerskrip · Jun 28, 2011

THe thing I don't understand is.....

They want everthing to use free shipping, right? So they lump that into the final value fees. YET, they charge you MORE for listing anything at more than $.99. At least make everything with Free shipping under $20 as a $.10 listing fee. Come on FEEBAY!

That way I can at least take $3.00 cards and list them at $4.99 with free shipping, DOH.

That's what I'm saying. Maybe their program can quantify douchiness to determine who gets limited.

I believe that eBay is targeting big businesses and corporations and does not really care about the "little guys" sellers (and by "little" I mean small businesses included.) I did a paper on eBay for grad school and that was the only conclusion that made any sense.

I'm surprised you even found one conclusion that made any sense in a paper about eBay.

That's exactly right. They are trying to imitate and compete with Amazon.com and host the internet sales for larger businesses.

That would be my guess 100%, there is a program that is picking up something they are doing and saying it's illegal. If they were put on a 6K limit, my guess would be something in the money laundering aspect. I'm in no way saying that's what they are doing, but my guess is it would be something of that nature. But if it's done through Paypal, I'm not sure how they would get away with it,as there would be an obvious paper trial, so who knows...just a guess.

In Ebay's eye's they would prefer to have a "few" big sellers of sports cards and memorabillia and this is their way of getting there. Getting rid of Burbank's competition in a bloodless coup so to speak.

I truly think Ebay views all under 100K a year sellers as headaches and would prefer all of their sales go to the Burbank's of the world.

Stu and Lisa are good people Stu being far cooler then Lisa. They are not married theyre just business partners. They buy for dirt from dealers and jack the prices If you know them theyll give you a discount. They are honest dealers who do insane volume. I cant believe they got kicked down. What good does limiting sellers who have the ability to bring in a ton of money and who are honest sellers. This is bad folks

Izl Grzl · Jun 28, 2011

I know Stu and Lisa and have done business with them on multiple occasions. They have done ample amounts of business with a good friend of mine who is on collecting hiatus while he finalizes the sale of his first house and plans his wedding. Stu and Lisa are nice people and friendly. They ARE business people though and they make offers and sell at the prices that MOST benefit THEM. If you say yes, good for them...but if you disagree and counter they are open to negotiation. Most Dealers on the business side of the table (at a show) will only be as "*******" as the attitude of the person they are dealing with. That being said, it is ashame that they have hit this bump in the road and I wish them all the best getting their business back on line.

uniquebaseballcards · Jun 28, 2011

I'm trying to remember, but did they buy items on ebay to flip in their store? I wonder if eBay wants to limit this practice.

FYI both sides of the table are "business sides." And, yes, that guy is a colossal ******.
