A recent attemp of Ebay to improve their system (i only know for Ebay Germany, but those policies would be applied worldwide IMO ):
- Items ranking in search result will depend on your feedback and shipping cost rating, who has better feedback will have better item ranking: Kudos to Ebay for this. I personally hate the people who charge 8€ for an item costs 10€. When I sell something I set my shipping cost 1€ over the price logistic companies charge me only to cover the package and handling cost.
- Seller who has negative feedback will be considered to restrict selling activities. This is absolutely a grayzone, as bogus buyers can threaten sellers with negative feedback or fun bidders can use this to revenge against sellers.
- Who want to be a “standard” seller is now forced to use paypal ! And the paypal fee applies ! WTF ! I see paypal is a convenient way to pay but the transaction fee really scare me off: 30 cent + 2.95% ( paypal ) + 8% ( ebay ) item value !!! The sum can be as high as 15% for small value items !
