    Most changes have been made allegedly for 'safety' and 'buyer confidence' reasons, but we should all be able to see that really they have been bought in to boost eBay profits and marginalise smaller sellers.

    I pretty much agree with everything you said on there.

    We were business sellers on eBay for three years. We were powersellers when that was still going and then top rated sellers when that replaced the old scheme. With the snows causing postal delays last year we lost the Top rated seller status and the fee discounts that went with it. Funnily enough we also lost interest in selling on there too.

    We felt that eBay turned its back on us and consequently decided to pursue other avenues. I hope more sellers do too. We've not bothered with eBay as a sales avenue for nearly a year now and it's a decision we've never once come to regret.
