At some point I've tried them all, and am currently only active on one. All of the venues similar to eBay I suppose have their pluses and minuses. My recommendation to you is to evaluate where you're at, take a deep breather, and proceed from there. If you get a rash of a few numpty buyers that push your buttons it can grate on the nerves. Been there done that and I feel your pain. I suspect you're suffering from seller fatigue or burn out. The community center there consisted largely of ex- eBay sellers chatting with each other and wondering when or even if some traffic and buyers might show up. The problem of course was that Bonanzle was a dud. Some of those that left were regular contributors in the answer center at that time. Some sellers at that time left for a new site called at that time "Bonanzle". I know you must remember the outcry from that. I reached the breaking point with Donahoe's nonsense when he took the reins and the feedback system was changed. In one form or fashion I've been around eBay pretty much as long as you. I have zero confidence in eBay fixing the website glitches by Friday, so it's time to quit wasting time, and move on. The eBay tech department causes more problems than it fixes. eBay's tech department is totally incompetent. Amazon doesn't constantly change their website like eBay which causes all kinds of problems, and kills sales. As much as I can't stand Bezos, Amazon dwarfs eBay when it comes to sales. eBay has become a very poorly managed sales venue. The eBay people you speak with on the phone are polite, professional, and want to help, but eBay ties their hands. Not to mention all the counterfeit garbage being sold on eBay which I have told them about numerous times, which they ignore. You only get one ad now, not two like you did previously. Ebay now forces sellers to pay for promotion ads if you want to be seen.
until Friday to fix the glitches or we are history. Been on eBay 11 years, 100% feedback score, Top Rated Seller, etc. Now, I just need to get rid of PayPal and life will be good. Slowly but shirley weaning myself from eBay. Taxes, 30 day only Fixed items, pay for return shipping, ZERO SUPPORT FROM BUYERS SCREWING YOU OVER, etc etc. Here's my favorite, putting competing items at the bottom of my auction page while trying to sell something. No protection for sellers, new rules almost monthly that make selling more difficult, a 100% increase in sales fees, disguised as "sponsored items". My sales are down 70% this year, mainly because I have found other venues to sell on, most of them FREE! Yes, competition has arrived and it ain't looking good here. eBay is of zero help and now threatens us that it can be held against us if we fight back. One example, buyers returning items at my expense, just cause they can by simply stating "not as described", which entire websites tell you to do to get away with it. With all the changes to sellers by eBay, which is of course good for us according to eBay, it's just not fun anymore. Well, after 20 years here, I have finally said enough is enough.
