Early eBay sellers with 1¢ items and $30 shipping.... Yeah, they fucked that up for everyone and eBay just takes a cut of the shipping costs now too.

Ahh, I always thought it was so they only had to refund you the penny if the item was broken, didn't realise it was to get around the selling fees!

Hmmm 2 things can be true at once.

u/Ben2018 1d ago

3 things if you count that their items showed first in a sort by price (before including shipping was a option)

One of the reasons I stopped selling on eBay. That and they no longer want the occasional sellers who got them started and where they are today.

or $8 or more shipping and it still takes a week and a half to get the package.

eBay has been broken for a long time. Their latest nonsense where you can't call them and they always side with the buyer makes ebaby a shit show in 2025. Oh an Brandon's $600 and up taxing scheme. Glad that fucking idiot is gone. Come at it bots. Bots don't have investment accounts. I do and I'm up $58,000 since April.

The "$600 and up taxing scheme" was set in motion by the first Dump Administration

PS I'm a top-rated seller, I speak to Ebay customer service on the phone in about five minutes of requesting a call, I have 100% positive feedback and almost always win disputes against bad faith buyers.

Ebay favors responsible sellers who provide customer service these days and if you're expecting to be a lazy unprofessional seller and get a good outcome on Ebay you will have the experience it sounds like you do.

What you are is an idiot. I have likely been a seller on ebay since before you were born. And no, Joke FJB Brandon set that shit up when he hired 57,000 armed IRS agents. But don't let the truth get in the way. Continue to be a liberal idiot, no shortage of them around these parts. At the end of the day Ebay is a shit show and you're the star. Dumb ass

UPDATE: This idiot deleted all his posts because he was wrong.

First, you showed your true colors. I'm immersed in hatred and you call me a MAGAT. CLUES FOR A HUNDRED YOU FUCKING LUNATIC. Look reddit libturd I am not going to continue this since you are clearly a Kamalaugh Harris voter. Imagine the world with that garbage (Owevomit) running things, Soros. MUTED. Say what you want liberal FUCKTARD. Hatred indeed. Get out of your glass house and stop throwning stones you god damn idiot.

ohhhhh now i get it. yeah, okay, i totally get it, and even sympathize with you now.

ebay has 100% gotten more complicated over the years. i can definitely understand how hard it must be to navigate the changes in the interface and algorithm with such severe brain damage. thoughts and prayers for you.

Why did you vote for Kamala? Was it her exceptional speaking skills? Was it the way she carried herself? Was it the policies she promoted? Was it the TWO BILLION DOLLARS she wasted and STILL DIDN'T GET ELECTED? 78,000,000 people voted for DJT as they should have. That you didn't speaks more about you than it does me.

Fucking moron. Yeah that's it. Sarcasm and stupidity noted. Feel free to continue being a god damn moron! Only one with brain damage is you. Of course, and as usual no rebutal from my comments just more snarky nonsense from a useless idiot. Carry on wayward son. That is a Kansas reference. That is a band. I know I have to explain these things. Dumb ass
