Ebay treat Sellers like crap

[championMan]

eBay Sellers:

A few of you may recently have received a note from eBay in your My Messages inbox with the subject line: "50% OFF Auction-style Insertion Fees--Nov 23-25." Unfortunately, this message was sent in error: There was a promotion planned for this coming week that was cancelled. There are currently no plans for a 50% off Insertion Fee Promotion on the dates mentioned in the prior email. Please note that any listings created during these dates will be subject to normal Insertion Fees. :evil:

We apologize for any confusion that this may have caused.

If you look at it from a business standpoint and given the economy what power does the seller have? Where else are you going to sell your stuff? The buyer has 100% of the power when it comes to eBay and they are changing their business strategy to suit that. New CEO means changes. All of these changes started about the time that Meg Wittman left.

Meh, unfortunately, eBay has what we need (for most of us). They'll take advantage of it until we find a better solution for our card needs or some other site takes over, having better prominence.
