For a one time seller to a superstar selling store, or can you still start with a sale and become a superstar store, Ebay has changed so much in a short time so short if you have not been on in the last six months you missed it all, well I do not think its over yet but I hope the big changes are done for the most part, It seems Ebay has shaken the apple tree and many of the bad apples were pushed off or they pulled themselves off and now it seems they are now going to rattle the cave the bad buyers live and hide in, for the last six months are so I have read every complaint about ebay and what they are doing and now it seems only ebay really knew the outcome, and whats still to come, the backlash of the players who no longer play the way they once thrived on, are out there not to sell but to buy and hurt the sellers who always did the right thing and the new ones who never did the wrong thing, buy buying and claiming item not as described not recieved to leave a low DSR score I started on November 9 2009 I listed and sold a used radio for a truck I had in the garage. after thinking and deciding to give it all my effort it was about the middle of february 2010, since I have sold over 2000 items have about 1100 Feedbacks from people as of today November 17 2010, have opened a retail location, own about $15,000 of inventory in stock still in a struggle to keep going and for the most part I had to do it all alone. I built the site and bought items to sell listed them do my own postage pack my inventory and ship it all to start over while addind new items from the profit of the sales my feedback shows 100% but I have had 8 neutral feedbacks even though I would contact them in many ways to resolve the problem only 1 responded and it was a under $5.00 item shipping included with 10 pictures of what it was and did and how sold about 40 but this person thoughgreat to deal witht the table it was on and the laptop computer was all included in the laptop table stand iten that was $3.27 shipping was same day first class about $1.40 another was a lady who purchased superglue to fix broken sunglasses and said the glue is toxic and ruined her broken sunglasses and wanted $300.00 from me to replace her broken sunglasses, because she had to throw them away and her past feedback was a obsene patern of minuplation who Iwas blocked from ebay for life, but on the flip side there has been almost 2000 people who have been great to have delt with and still my little shop is growing, this month I project about 450 sales and about $7500 of gross sales and my expenses including my retail lease is less then $600.00 plus my ebay fees its alot of hours but I have alot of ideas for more income so if you are a worker and a buyer with no money, you have the best time to get into or back into Ebay doing it alone is no easy job I can promise that but it beets working for someone with a limited income so if you can survive you can and will thrive on Todays NEW EBAY, Roger @ Stop N Save 2
