Ebay would make you pay for what was once free

The Ebay Site Visibility Upgrade Scam

Ebay told us they were removing international site visability from ebay.co.uk sellers a few months ago as it was unfair to U.S sellers that our listings were turning up by default searches on ebay.com

Of course we all knew this was a pack of lies; that ebay does not care about fairness but only about profit...and here we are....

They are about to launch international site visabilty upgrades at a cost. Nasty, Greedy and underhanded isn't it?

I wonder what will be next? Perhaps we will have to pay for sending messages through the ebay system? Or maybe there will be a new blog tax?

It really is Nasty and Greedy when a company like this which makes profits larger than the annual income of small countries chooses to use such underhand and snyde tactics to squeeze a few more pence out of their sellers...

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS CAN STILL FIND YOU AND IF THEY HAVE ANY SENSE THEY WILL USE THE ADVANCED SEARCH OPTIONS ANYWAY....BOYCOTT THE UPGRADE!!! DON'T PAY THEM MORE FOR WHAT YOU USED TO GET FOR NOTHING!!!

I wouldn't dare use it. I have loads of buyers from UK. I had to scratch my head when I got that message in my inbox.

Well they couldn't possibly charge for their customer services...after all you don't need to pay a bot to send out templates do you?

I say Boycott FOREVER. Ebay has many more changes that members are unaware of.

Visit YouTube.com and search Ebay, boycott. I have listened to both sides and was so glad to see that I am not the only one.

Wagglepop gives you more tools than Ebay ever did and it is all inclusive. Looks like Ebay but the entire site is positive and the community is tight but so willing to help out new sellers and buyers.

Visit TODAY, Wagglepop and YouTube. Beware of all the scams and false listings here. There are many.

I hope that the remaining members are scorched to much but the future demolishion of Ebay.

Take care and good luck to all.

Mmmm the interface looks ok; cheap fees and stuff - but the six million dollar question is do they have the right exposure to the market?
