You greedy fucking faggots got exactly what you deserve.. Look at this Q4 focus that's not even part of the problem. People love Ebay because you can get things that aren't for sale anymore.. if you want a brand of golf clubs from the 1980s, you go to Ebay to get that.. there's no shortage of people doing that.. and they do it for all the other stuff you can't buy, and the collectibles.. only problem, there's isn't much for sale anymore on Ebay.. it's not because the sellers aren't there.. it's because the sellers can't sell on Ebay. It's too expensive.. At 13 points, how do you expect these sellers to do any kind of consignment work at all? In other words, you have sellers who 1.) know the site well and are users of the site. they know how to list items, promote those items, ship those items, etc.. and 2.) know their markets.. you can't ask a rare coin dealer, for example, to go to the estates and place reasonable bids that will transact.. Right now, according to Ebay's management, those market participants ought play the game tougher if they want a single point out of this online selling experience.. What the fuck is this stupid shit? Ebay is the single worst run company that you can be owner of at a discount today. This is the stupidest god damn thing I have ever seen. There are buyers who would have bought, and who will absolutely buy, on that site, from the sellers who are no longer present. Think of the inventory that's not listed on Ebay right now, versus what is.. If you don't believe that just go look at the price guides for coins and cards.. then come back and see if those coins and cards are for sale on Ebay.. It's at that point that you'll realize that you can't buy the collectible item you want; not because the item is so scarce, but because the item is not for sale on the platform.. you gotta go to the shows and to the brokers for thathttps://www.zerohedge.com/markets/ebay-shares-plunge-most-2005-soft-outlook-overshadows-solid-earnings
The problem is Ebay rapes sellers with a million fees and always defends buyers. Not to mention how much more expensive shipping has gotten in general.
>>61228963that 100oz silver bar still fits in a small flat rate box muh dude
Ebay owns a transactional platform on which transactions do not occur and are also discouraged
>>61228983And from that $5k sale, Egay will take $1k and the nigger post office clerk will steal it.
>>61228944>charges insane 14-15% fee>the fee is calculated on the cost of product PLUS shippingebay tongues nigger anus
>>61228944It’s great for buyers trying to put together a halfway decent wardrobe. I got 4 pairs of Nike sweatpants that of course go for $110 each plus tax, plus tip for about $40 a pair, shipped, each. Not bad for me.
eBay is a fucked platform. For anything other than weird one offs I am selling on craigslist or another local platform. Craigslist scams are easy enough to avoid and eBay is hard to work through the nonsense.
Feebay can suck my entire ass
>>61229084my favorite is when i turn off the option that makes my items visible to turd worlders because i dont want to deal with international shipping. i make a sale and see it's going to jose eduardo lopez de la paciano guadelupe rodiguez via some fucked up freight forwarder address in florida, and it's a huge gamble as to whether i get fucked when the freight forwarder loses the package.
>early ebaythe listing brought the buyer (this is the great historic broken laser pointer sale).. guy said he collected broken laser pointers. that's how the story goes>modern ebaythe buyers bring the listing. in other words, you list there, because the buyers are there.that is a remarkably poor assumption.
>>61229109Whenever I see that something is going to Puerto Rico or Hawaii I just know I'm going to get fucked.
>>61228944I bought hifi gear on there for a couple of grand that is 10-15 year richfag 20k write offs. Gear I will never replace or sell. A fantastic platform if you know what you're buying but fuck selling on that lol.
Trump should say that Ebay is a stupid company who mistreats small businesses in America, in favor of hustling cheap foreign owned brands like Puma and Adidas.. the foreigners don't pay what you pay because nobody calls Ebay out on it..
Im an ebay seller, ebay is fine, its the best platform for old used items. The fees are worth it, 13% is nothing compared to having to make your own site and buy advertising to drive traffic there. Ebay helps you sell rare unique stuff, selling these things locally would be next to impossible. I dont get this boomer trope of always bitching about buyers scamming sellers. I guess you have to be selling to jeets or something. I sell like 3000 items per year and I've been scammed less than 0.01% of the time. 13% fees is negligible to my margins, it only fucks over lazy chinkshit dropshipper scum. Its very common for me to order something on ebay only to have it delivered by amazon by some shitty dropshipping ebook hustler trying to scrape pennies from the bottom of the barrel.
this is very easy.. any analyst can ask the company, of all the buyers in the last 30 days, what percentage of those buyers have also sold something?
>>61229284the best short side analysts play this when they put you on holdhttps://youtu.be/JXQJpyQBShU?si=cMPNYtDRD_DeWz1_
>>61229216Confirmed white
>>61229109SHITSKINS!SAY IT! SAY IT!
>>61228944i fucking hate ebay with all my guts. I saw them increase the fees over the last 15 years, fuck me everytime as a seller, they ask money even if you refunded the item. never sell on this fooking site
>>61228944>A billion fees>Every SINGLE time I've sold on eBay the buyer tries scamming with the old rock-in-a-box return or saying the item was damaged>Ebay always sides with the buyer so even if you have conclusive evidence it's a buyer protection scam they hold your money for weeksYeah no fuck eBay. A market doesn't work if everyone wants to buy there but nobody is dumb enough to sell.
>>61228963>always defends buyers.Man, I sure wish they'd defended me even once. I bought some stuff from an individual seller in NC and she informed me that she wasn't going to ship them because she's going to sell the items to someone else. She kept my payment and EBay removed my negative review of her. Then I bought a CD from a seller in Argentina and never received it, and once again EBay fucked me over on refunding it.I don't know where you assholes are getting the "EBay always kisses buyers' asses!" shit from because they've fucked me every time. Now the only time I buy anything is if it's a local seller and I can negotiate pickup and payment in person.
>>61228996Hey I’m not black, I’m Brahman!
>>61229923No they dont. They refund the fees if you refund someone. The fee charge they take from shipping is offset by the discount you get when buying labels, and that was implemented because jews were trying to sell items for $1 with $100 shipping to skirt the fees. Dont like it? Build your own marketplace. More buyers for me. If you feed ebays algo, they treat you well and give you good sales. I love ebay, its /comfy/ af being able to make a living just selling shit. Doing ebay is basically like being a half neet, you can set up your own workflow system and take a lot of time off. Much better than driving through traffic and clocking into shekelburgs office for 9 hours a day dealing with niggercattle and hr roasties.
>>61231393What are you selling for this to happen? I've sold probably 20000 items and I've never had someone try to scam a return with rocks or wrong items. Closest I have gotten is some stupid kids trying to claim they never got their video games, and ebay has always sided with me because the tracking shows its delivered. Theres whole businesses selling $30000 gold bars and jewelry on ebay. They wouldn't sell there if they could be defeated by a rock in a box
>>61231825I don't sell as a business so the items are different each time. First time I sold an RC car and parts that got bought by a hobby store owner on his private account and resold on his eBay storefront, but they still tried BP scamming and ebay froze the funds for over a month. Second was some RC parts, last was an old GPU.
>>61228944am I reading this right: greedy capitalists (probably jews) want more transaction fees than is able to be profitable?if it makes you feel any better (it shouldn't), amazon is the same way. about 50% of the price of every single item sold on Amazon is just Amazon collecting fees from the sellers, which gets passed onto customers. THis is why TEMU and other places can sell so much cheaper.
>>61228963Exactly. Had a decent side thing going on Ebay for a couple years, gross revenues were 20-30k. I stopped fucking with it in 2023 because their fees grew almost quarterly, and along with their default position of siding with retarded or scummy fuckstain buyers, no-questions-asked, their business model ate too far into my margins for it to be worth continuing.
>>61231825>What are you selling for this to happen?no who you were asking, but i used to sell electronics on there all the time and never really had any problems until i tried flipping iPad/iPhones...that brought out the scammers big time. Send them an iPad, they'd open a return saying it was defective, then i'd get an old pair of shoes in the mail as the return. Luckily i never lost any money from it. Had a 10+ year old account with perfect feedback, so I'd just call in and explain the situation and they'd give me the money.Got to the point where I looked forward to it. There was some obvious tip offs when someone would use a stolen credit card to order from you. theyd message you with a different address as soon as they'd order, or they'd use a reshipper. Some old lady from Oregon would place an order for an iPad, but the shipping address would be to some reshipper in Florida that only has russian on their website. They'd get a block of wood, innocent person would get their money back through a chargeback, and i'd keep mine
>>61228944>net revenue 2.82B>projected revenue 2.8B>modest topline growth and softer profit margin im so fucking sick of this bullshit where companies beat earnings and get blasted as under performing. especially when its +10% over previous yearits obvious were going for infinity money numberline go up in clownworld
>>61232281Kek that makes sense. Browns are attracted to iphones like flies to shit. I guess I just sell a lot of stuff that old white honest boomers buy. I have a lot of girl customers too which is good because women spend 80% of all money. I think its a buyer demographic issue mainly, browns love apple garbage, stuff like video games and Pokémon cards has a bunch of kids who think its a good idea to try to scam because their brains arent developed yet. Sometimes I see notifications that the buyer did a credit card charge back, but ebay covers you for that. If you think ebay is bad, you should see depop which is niggerhell for low iq zoomers. I sell some clothes on there sometimes and the zoomers are horrible to deal with, they make ebay customers look like saints
>>61231845Idk if its more likely to happen to sellers with low feedback or something, there's definitely some boomers that try to take advantage of the system and know it very well. I've heard of some serial buyer for combo DVD/vhs players who buys hundreds of them per month and tries to return them hoping people let them keep it instead of paying for the return shipping. You can still get scammed even if you have your own online shop / site, cc chargebacks are notoriously bad for those platforms
Been on eBay since 2001 and only got scammed twice as a seller. Got ripped off a couple times as a buyer. One time seller lived in a commie European country where you have to ship the item in a clear plastic box. Well the model inside melted on my front porch from the sun. But yes the fees and taxes are getting out of hand and making it not really worth it.
>>61232198Thats the problem with selling new chinkshit items. You're competing against the same factories that sell you your merchandise. Used items dont generally have this problem, as your margins can easily be over 100%, but the issue with used items is inconsistent supply of inventory, youll have to scavenge for random stuff, and most stuff you sell will be one off. Generally youll have to buy bulk lots at auctions and resell individually.
>>61228944i use a local auction site in my cunt to sell old comics, they dont have any of that buyer protection bullshit ebay has.havent been scammed once.the site takes like 9%, but mutts would need to pay tariffs to use it or some shit kek.
