Ebay has sucessfully earned the loss of my business. What a royal pain in the a$$ it has become with the worst, most ignorant, ill-informed, and NON-UNDERSTANDABLE customer service I’ve ever experienced.

Not to mention the greediest and most subversive business tactics this side of a 3rd rate car salesman.

Bye Chumps…see you in hell.

Yup! Ebay blows, now with the new changes on items i used too get 500+ hits end with only 100 hits. Ebay is over. All the sellers hate them and buyers only come for the flea market clearance crap thier site is congested with.

It is all over for eBay traffic continues to drop to record lows, they are just about finished this will teach John Donahoe, eBay (EBAY) CEO are lesson in management,

A. You do not make drastic changes to eBay in the middle of an economic crisis.
B. You not hike advertising fees is middle of an economic crisis.
C. Listen to the sellers they are not as stupid as he thinks. (or as he is)
D. Fix the RSS feeds to Google
E. Any one performing like Johnny would have been fired long ago

Fix the feeds you Stupid Idiots

google-base is not reading ebay feeds because google-base
has added and changed several of their attributes and values
but ebay did not update their fmt=g feed information; rather,
ebay decided to upload items on behalf of their customers.

Check out the crap they are telling the sellers all leis and excuses.
(Counters don’t lie people do) http://www2.ebay.com/aw/announce.shtml

In my humble opinion eBay will have a takeover by mid 2010 and I do hope Johnny finds him self un-employed.

As he needs to feel the pain he is giving to eBay sellers just because he is on a big salary, does no make him intelligent his performance speaks for it self.

All I would like to say to him is.. “Donahoe your fired”..

Yes I have see big drops in site traffic as well. It may also be the economy. At the start of the month people have money towards the end it slows down. This is bad sign in many ways for whats to come. Thanks Primeonly27.com

Tried to play with them about two months ago.. First time in at least six, seven years..

Got into my account, just needed to reset the password.. Then hit the message you need to reverify yourself or something like that so I clicked the requisite buttons.. No answer 24 hours later so I tried to go back into my account and contact them again..

GONE. Totally wiped off the site..

Was it something I said..?

Starting to think so.. Two things come to Mind..

Back in ~2000, I sent at least one email scolding them that I saw a serious problem in being able to see my password as part of URL at the time.. That never changed that I noticed at the time then a few years later I heard about them getting hacked somehow, just never heard the details.. I couldn’t help but wonder..

If not, then maybe.. Recently read that one of the $$’d folks with the company.. was playing pretty heavy in politics.. THAT would do it..

Too.

Their loss.. I was thinking of starting a business and found a very nice, seemingly dependable resource at their site.. Have opted elsewhere since (not to mention making sure I let others know, also, where appropriate along the way).. :WINK:

I am now looking for alternative sites. Ebay fees you to death. I’m paying more than I’m bringing in sometimes. If you have a problem,they don’t even respond. I’ve been waiting two weeks,4 emails & 2 phone calls.(put on hold after being transfered.waited 10 minutes)

Money is the root of all evil. Ebay executives are greedy SOBs. I too have taken my wares elsewhere.
