Ebay

Iw as very suprised after searching to see that no one is venting about EBAY!!!
I and various ppl i know have had various loud discussions about the changes they are making which seem to only affect people selling which is completely unfair for us small sellers.
1 change they have made is we can no longer leave negative feedback for someone buying from us....... someone can make our lives hell and we cannot warn other members about it but they can leave a nasty comment about us without any real reason (i am not talking about me i have 100% good feedback but it is the point of the matter)
The other change i am incredibly annoyed about is you have to offer Paypal as a payment option. I cannot afford to pay paypal to get the money transferred into my bank and why should i when i would be happy to receive a cheque??
Has ebay signed a huge beneficial contract with paypal we are not aware of?
Welcome your thoughts!

Ebay owns paypal, so it isn't a secret that they would obviously prefer to have that used.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Ebay also own Gumtree and a few other things routinely used as well.
I'm sure someone will correct my use of the word 'own' but it is the easiest way of explaining the complicated company arrangements.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

If you want to join in a discussion on things in particular about ebay and or paypal then follow the link in my sig . If you want to use the main ebay forum on ebay iteelf then set up a posting id (DO NOT use your main ebay id as you will be horrified at the way some users treat people) and log in as usual and follow the links from the 'community' tab at the top of the page.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
