Why I No Longer Sell on eBay Full Time

I have been an ebay seller for 19 years and I have made a decision to discontinue selling on ebay full time. While I will still keep my ebay account open with some active items - I will no longer put the same energy into selling on ebay as I once did. This is why I have made this decision...

They are competing with Amazon, who tells ppl to buy several sizes and just return the ones that don't fit. It's crazy how online shopping has led to a lot of waste. That's why I like working in reverse logistics.

(But I understand your frustration, cause the customers should have stated they had an issue but you fixed it...not claimed fraud.)

They expect us to know but don't provide the information. Feedback has been harder to get removed, and people definitely will try to scam. I've had good luck linking the eBay rep to the necessary eBay policy and cite the exact verbage to the rep.

You said you'd like feedback, so here it is. If an item is not thoroughly tested, you should list the tests that were done, the results of the tests, then state no further testing performed.

This reminded of a friend thirty 30 years ago who was having a problem with a seller over an item, he told the person on the phone that he would ride is motorcycle out to his place and burn it down. So from know on i don't want to put my exact address on the labels.

The scammers have figured out how to use eBay's new feedback mess to their advantage really fast. I'm a 26 year seller and I've received more negative feedback this year than I have in the past 26 years combined. 100% of those negative feedbacks were from buyers who straight up lied about their experience in the feedback and not a single one even attempted to return their item. eBay wouldn't remove any of the feedback even when I had the buyers dead to rights in the eBay messages.

There’s money to be made on eBay of course but the five reasons you share are on point. I only have less than 300 items and will continue to be part time.

eBay sucks! Everything you said was spot on

[@martingetting9146]

I have had similar problems with eBay. They really do not want to help sellers any more. It's all about the buyer. I am also looking at other platforms, so would be interested on any suggestions.

[@jenifferjohnson9270]

You have to be really careful selling Amazon returns. They look good but a lot of them are returned defective. Same happened to me, buyer called me a fraud.

[@jdek88]

eBay banned me because I couldn't provide proof of purchase/receipt. It can from a pallet from a legitimate company, but the manifest didn't do the job. I think it was a competitor that noticed me and tried to get me taken down. The buyer claimed it was an "inauthetic product" on a $10 item lol

[@indescribablelove3846]

Yes☝🏻. They screw the seller by believing the buyers no matter the truth😡

[@LindeyGlenn]

It's always a cheap item that brings out the worst customers! That's why I'm always hesitant to accept a cowbell offer

[@earldriskill3505]

​@@LindeyGlennIt reminds me of the situation when that screwball customer tickled you in your bin store.

[@bairfreedom]

I currently do not promote listings. They are getting enough fees. The result? I sell exactly what a store like mine with decent items should sell. About 2 a day, and as I grow my sales increase as expected. No big deal. My goal is an anchor store eventually. I'm starting to tip into 3 a day (280 listed) .

[@vancleefwhittington]

I totally agree with you about listings disappearing. I have noticed this at the end of each year when I do my total inventory. I just went round and round with eBay about an item that it is "EPA Registration exempt." They were able to read it straight off the bottle. This item is a chemical that is safe to plants and animals, and it has an exemption from having an EPA registration. However, if it was a chemical that was harmful to plant and animals and had an EPA registration it could be listed. I like you have also been getting hit a lot all of a sudden with VERO strikes as well.

I have also had listings randomly fall off without any notification or explanation. Also, I sell a lot of supplements and stuff with expiration dates. I'm good about pulling stuff down when the expiration date hits. Twice over the past week I've received notifications from eBay about listings with bad expiration dates, going back to last year! After I did some investigation, I determined those products were sold last year, well before their expiration dates. I'm not sure what is going on with eBay.

[@belindamiller6349]

I noticed my listing disappearing, too. Very Frustrating. I am going to have to switch gears. Not just one or two, a lot.

[@mommykimberlysadventures954]

Amen sis it's so annoying n frustrating as well 😮

[@danahukee5776]

Yeah i left ebay last year. Going to do a Shopify store

[@learningacademy8234]

😅

[@AK36677]

You are so spot on. eBay has changed dramatically. Now they are taking every dime they can from sellers while they are still around. It's a sinking ship, and it's time to abandon ship. 🙄🙏

[@Quickblood1]

Just watched the whole thing and now I'm absolutely furious, feel like I'm the one who had those negative experiences.😅 Has made me think twice about using eBay now but I'm not sure what else I'd use in the UK.

[@leithsquires1846]

face book market place... no fees.

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

20:30 on the 'sealed box'... USPS HAS PHOTOS OF THE PKG THROUGH THEIR OWN FACILITIES. THEY KNOW IF IS WAS SEALED.

[@tommyebay]

Lindey, all you points are valid....!

[@elenadellasiega2795]

You behaved perfectly, I'm with you and I stand with you. If the System is disappointing, just get out of it. I would have done the same!

[@40keifer]

You're so spot on Lindey! 👏👏

[@IMTHEMANWA3]

Feedback on eBay should work both ways especially with buyers who you know are looking to defraud you

[@n-joysilver7752]

I can understand why Ebay isn't removing negative feedback. Feedback is pointless when everyone has 99%+. IMO, niche sellers at top of their game will be only ones with chance of maintaining 100%, which may help to justify charging higher prices. However, I believe most buyers will still gravitate toward lowest price and not consider the seller's feedback or lack of ability/willingness to properly test and describe an item.

💯

[@safejadis1537]

Your speaking voice is flawless

[@Thetimecapsuletx]

Glad I am not the only one. I have quite a few items I had to relist cause they just disappeared. I am not a baby about it, I just relist it, but it’s hard to know what is gone. I’ve been buying and selling on there since 1998 so I have seen it all. I love Mercari but there are no buyers.

[@kdubba1976]

I have been an Ebayer since 1998.Always sold as a side hustle.Many big time ebayers i have followed over the years,also dumped them.I have a few listings but it's getting to where it is not worth it.I use to get quite a few of views then hardly nothing.They have replaced a couple of CEOS,higher ups or whatever over the past several years and they have no clue.With higher fees and increased postal rates It's not worth it.They have forgotten about the people who made them who they are!

[@cretan982]

I've had items disappear too. Usually they're old listings but it's annoying because you still have them in your inventory taking up space forever.

[@CathAlexandra]

Same, I went elsewhere. I barely have any listings, and I started in 2001. There are fewer scams and returns on other platforms, and the dropped listings are annoying. Listing is slower with all the details you have to fill out.

[@burtemery28emery79]

Ebay is not backing up the seller,plus to many scammers, ebay doesn't care till sellers start leaving.

[@leithsquires1846]

I left in 2014 ebay was one of the original platforms since 1995 so they have deep pockets lol and they make money by recruting new sellers.

[@earldriskill3505]

​@@leithsquires1846Sounds like McDonald's. Paid their employees low wages, expected them to work hard, but didn't care if they quit because there was an unlimited supply of cheap labor.

[@arenavisionTV]

Finally somebody admitted the truth ❤

[@user-tu9oo7nn7h]

Good going, lady.👍

[@remembernoahtheflood]

She is 100% correct. There is one thing that sellers should stop doing. Don't talk to buyers at all. They wanted her to send pictures of the box so they could trap her now using that info against her. Lindey Glenn is an honest person. Ebay is disrespectful to sellers. Whatever you do Lindey you will be successful! You have what it takes!

[@dontfollowthecrowd6949]

it happens all the time, buyers lie and the seller needs to refund and also gets a negative feedback

[@anthonymontana-zn9in]

Love U Lindey. U R Awesome.
