eBay Sellers Complaining of Crackdown

June 25, 2007

Sellers are reporting that they are being targeted by eBay for seller nonperformance ("breach of non performance policy"). While this may or may not reflect a new policy, it seems the level of enforcement has increased in the past week or so. As with other recent Trust and Safety initiatives, eBay has not announced anything about it, at least from what I can see.

Here's an example of just one of many threads about the issue.

As you can see, this seller has no telephone number to contact eBay. It appears to me that recent T&S initiatives (beginning last fall) have increased the demand for customer support, but from my understanding, capacity has not increased.

Making the site safer by cracking down on sellers sounds like a sensible idea, but eBay sellers know that unscrupulous buyers can give them unjustified negative feedback. By going purely on raw feedback, and not taking into account circumstances like deadbeat and newbie buyers, some good sellers may get caught in the net. And as usual, sellers are left wondering if eBay exempts their top sellers from such crackdowns.

I have inquiries pending, in the meantime, let me know if you have been affected by this issue by posting a comment below, or calling the AuctionBytes Hotline (see this page for the toll-free).

That situation is hilarious!

Just shows what IDIOTS ebay is/are (whatever...)

They can't have proper registration at the gate, but they can come back and ream innocent sellers later.


Those sellers are not coming back once sleazebay kicked them in the teeth and then tried to bend them over wirth an obstacle course of requirements/documents etc to go back where they may just get suspended NARU d again in a week or two.  Oh, wiping out all the listings, including completed paid for items

They will go elsewhere, and take their clients along in cases. They will also let their friends and family know what a HORRIBLE place ebay is, and just how STUPID and unreasonable they are.

Oh, and this does not cut down on fraud. The hackers are over there right now with bogus listings.
Hilarious!

Firemeg has blogged this and has a bunch more links to even more ebay forum threads about it.

Oh my.

Comedy at IT's finest.
