Sep 7, 2008 - E-bay is so full of shit and crooked! They have many states attorney generals looking at them, the IRS and several other agencies. If you have money tied up with ebay, you better get it and get the F outta there!

Sep 7, 2008 - The new CEO at Ebay will be working at Burger King by the end of the year .Ebay raised the final value fee! And are forcing sellers under 100 feedback ,no matter how positive, to offer Paypal .Paypal puts 21 day hold on funds.The Ebay Trust and Safety team is hard at work securing ,illegal loans on stolen property of the seller .Paypal phone reps state you must ship item out unpaid for .My only option was to just refund the buyer , on auction $1,300.00 Ebay/Paypal fees $100.00.Just leave ebay.

Sep 7, 2008 - YES I have to agree E bay is the most crooked outfit out there.Stock holders go to the discussion board at ebay and you have to dig deep cause ebay puts the truth in the basement, which means last pages ,any newbies get to the first few pages which are lies! If I were so stupid to invest in this falling apart at the seams company right now.I would look deep into this,they are NOTHING short of crooked, cheating, lying, take your money and run people.

Sep 7, 2008 - I'd hate to loose Ebay .I guess with all the Fraud , they are trying to clean up .But seems like current policy will only lead to more fraud for Sellers . I've brought so many items ,some very expensive and never a problem in 9 years .But i check sellers feedback carefully and also if they respond to my questions .Hope it all works out .I would not mind there 21 day hold if i was protected as a seller.But bad buyers are causing chargebacks and sending back empty boxes ,sellers will loose.

Sep 7, 2008 - Has anyone profiled Jonny-Donny? Is he a commie, a Catholic/protestant, new ager, Freemason, a liberal/conservative, a capitalist pig? What does he stand for? What does he believe in? Is he on some kind of big EBO trip? What's his problem with ebay sellers? Does he see a shrink? Who 'egekated' this guy? What rock did they find him under? Why was he hired to be CEO? Where can we find a real background about this guy?

manareyouserious Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - . Hey, did you know ebay employees sell on ebay and they have to disclose in their auction that they are employees!! Negative feedback is only an opinion so they should not care what you say!

demarkpan Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - This fucker's background is simple, his whole family died in car accident, his wife had cancer, his son or daughter had lung cancer as well. So he is alone and insane

imtrueblue2007 Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - John Donahoe is a moron. Meg was bad....but bring her back!! Donahoe is gonna KILL ebay. Not being able to leave negative feedback for a deadbeat buyer or bad buyer was an AWFUL idea. Fire Danahoe!! Ebay sucks!!

CashBackAtEbay Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - Thanks for the classic AUCTIONBYTES interview by Ina.ON THE SHIPPING & HANDLING (buyers remorse):One eBay Live 2008 seller commented he gave away free shipping. He'd expect his DSR to be a perfect 5.0 -- not so! He got 4.8!* Buyers know shipping costs upon payment* Yet eBay fuels remorse with feedback & DSR opportunities>> Meanwhile USPS & UPS raise shipping rates>> Why do sellers get all the blame?SOLUTION: eBay must EDUCATE buyers on shipping costs to create proper empathy.

Sep 7, 2008 - don't fix what aint broke ...... you tried to fix what was working, why? insanity, can't wait for a better site to come!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sep 7, 2008 - I can't find much choice buying on Ebay lately.Music gear listings are weak .I guess Ebay is the new Communist party since they own Paypal .That strike must be working?

PUREAAMERICAN Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - The Douche also known as Donahoe has no clue, you stand on stage with vile contempt of the Sellers, you MORON, the sellers MADE eBay, not you, you would be an assistant manager at a McDonalds if it was not for the SELLERS, Show some respect!

miathemonster Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - I've never heard more twisting of facts in one interview in my life. It is absolutely amazing that a person like JD is allowed to mislead and outright lie about the facts. Is he sane? that's all I can ask.

miathemonster Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - I can't stand listening to a blatant liar. It's mental illness, otherwise it has no explanation that I can come up with. How screwed up do you have to be to speak lie after lie and try to pass it off as truth? People are not as dumb as you JD...that is the only type of person who could eat this garbage up and believe even a word of it.

jmwd Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - LOL! Sellers requested the following: "OH lord eBay, raise my fees, kill my damn business".

demarkpan Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - This mothe fucker John Donahoe should resign, only the moron can think of this feedback policy, it is the seller to offer cheap items for the cheap buyers, and they are not likely to be honest indeed.

bigstars2 Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - Stand for your right,boycott ebay.We have to make ebay stop and listen, because ebay are so arrogant.This john donahoe speak through his arss.

semitar6 Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - 60 percent of products on Ebay never sell, why? Because sellers are being forced to increase their items price becasue Ebay constantly are increasing fees. Now they just past a law forbidding sellers from accepting money order or checks...starting son folks... Total scam and a smack in the face.

caliche118920 Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - i know lool that sucks!!!

ebaypossum Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - It's seems very few carry the load for the ebay dissenters. Where did they all go? Ebay is offending more and more sellers, and even buyers with all the disputes and crazy rules. The S&B won't get help from ebay chat, they'll get suspended. There was a growing group here on Youtube, but they're not here now! Did they give up? Very few doin' a poor job of it. Many sellers look without comment, they need information. Say nothing = ebay tool! Get involved! Where else can they go? OLA . COM?
