Ebay's New Policy Now Has Hit Hime - F THEM!

[Kaboomer]

Boy, they are going to make people come to the Chuckwagon in droves by pulling crap like this.

So I go to list some items my wife wants me to sell - and I goto list a similar item that I listed last week and I get this message from Ebay, and they won't let me list.


__________________________________________________ ______________________
You are currently restricted from listing new items because your detailed seller ratings (DSRs) are below the minimum performance standard for sellers.

Sellers are required to maintain a rating of at least 4.1 on each DSR to sell on eBay. Sellers with one or more DSR below 4.1 will be restricted from listing until their DSRs improve. Additionally, sellers with one or more DSR below 4.3 may be subject to lowered standing in search results.


Although you won't be able to list items as long as your DSRs are below 4.1, you will still be able to complete any open transactions, access your account, bid or purchase items, and communicate with your trading partners.

Please note that sellers who are not in good standing are not allowed to register new accounts. Also, another existing eBay account cannot be used to avoid buying and selling restrictions or other policy consequences.

You can find more information on the Seller Non-Performance Policy page or the FAQ page. Find out more information on how to improve your DSRs on the Seller Feedback page.

I have freaking 100% Positive Feedback with over 1200 feedbacks and a members since 1997. This is the first time I have received an email like this. I listed a lot of items last week and never got this notice.

Unfreaking believeable!

Here is a link to my Ebay feedback - I can't believe they are restricting me! F them up the A$$ !

Ebay is going to kill themselves.

Hail Donohue, the idiot who killed Ebay!

And what's worse is that I think Ebay eliminated the Microsoft Live promotion...

Damn F bastards....

[Kaboomer]

Funny thing is I listed a bunch of my wife's stuff last week and never got the message while listing. I guess it's my shipping time is killing me but give me a break. I guess they don't want any of our money anymore. I am just pissed beyond belief.

I am more motivated then ever to bite into one of their biggest money making categories - Video Games

All hail the Chuckwagon !!!!

These will entitle you to run free auctions - no listing or selling fees, no reserve fee auctions, no Buy Now fees, No Photo Upload Fees, Free seller homepage/storefront, etc.

This won't cover Listing Enhancements like homepage featured items, category featured items, bold titles, highlighted listings so you will get charged for them should you choose to use them -- although they are all very cheap.

Come and Get'em ! PISS OFF EBAY ! Just register on the Chuckwagon and then PM me here and I will get your account set to Free Status forever on the Chuckwagon!

Um, dude, I think you're taking this too hard. :P

You're going to regret this in the morning. I know it.

[Bibliophile]

What the heck are you doing selling on ebay anyhow? Isn't that like high treason for you? I guess your wife isn't selling videogames. What is she selling? Why don't you make a special category for it on CtCW so you can sell it there?

No chance on getting an account if I made an account a week or so ago, right?

[savageone]

I feel your pain on this one, if the items you'd been selling were video games I'm betting your DSR would have almost certainly faired better.

I've been meaning to set up an account for a long time, but I guess there is no better time to register on chuckwagon than RIGHT NOW.

[geneshifter]

I haven't sold on ebay in a while and this reminds me of the fact that I made a good decision

[IMJ]

Uhh... so if you can't sell until your rating improves, then how are you supposed to improve your rating?

[layzee]

Sellers are required to maintain a rating of at least 4.1 on each DSR to sell on eBay. Sellers with one or more DSR below 4.1 will be restricted from listing until their DSRs improve. Additionally, sellers with one or more DSR below 4.3 may be subject to lowered standing in search results.


Although you won't be able to list items as long as your DSRs are below 4.1, you will still be able to complete any open transactions, access your account, bid or purchase items, and communicate with your trading partners.

Okay, here's what I don't understand.

If you have low DSRs, then you are restricted from selling.

So in order to receive and improve your DSRs, you must actually sell something. Which you are restricted from doing so in the first place due to the above statement.

Does that make sense to anyone?

PM sent.

Uhh... so if you can't sell until your rating improves, then how are you supposed to improve your rating?

Old ratings drop off. After a while all scores will go back to 5 and feedback will go to 100%. Don't ask me how that means your suddenly a better seller though.

The only rating I'd had any issue with was S&H. And I always charge actual shipping. If the buyer wants to give anyone less than 5 stars it needs to be the post office.

ebay does suck now a days its sad, glad i jumped on the chuck wagon the other day

[The 1 2 P]

Ebay sucks. Down with ebay.

PM Sent, and only 16 minutes before the deadline.

We signed up nearly 100 members running the F Ebay promotion. Thanks to everyone here who registered. If you missed out on this, no worries, the costs to sell on the Chuckwagon are still considerably cheaper than Ebay so don't hesitate to register and try it out.

I hope you all will attempt to list some items this holiday season as we will be doing lots to promote the site the next couple months.

Doh! How did I miss this? Mike : )

[megasdkirby]

Cool Kaboomer!

But how can we tell if our account has this new feature?
