As far as I am concerned, not enough buyers on ebay are ranking out sellers for exorbitant shipping. And ebay itself makes it difficult to complain about it, or it did last time I tried it. If you go to a screen where you can make a complaint about excessive shipping, half the time it will take you to some no-man's-land where you can't do anything. I think too many people on ebay are using shipping as their profit center. Recently I made the huge error of bidding on something that weighs about four ounces and not noticing that the seller wanted $9.95 to ship this thing PARCEL POST. This was after spending quite a bit of time looking for stuff there and finding many, many sellers making their money off the shipping. Last straw for me.

You don't have a business if some other business can just yank your shop for their own reasons. Build your own shop...

Amazon recently implemented a similar system for their Seller Central program. Vendors are now rated in a number of areas and must meet a minimum standard or have their account suspended.

I know of many vendors that make more on the shipping and handling than the sale price profit. Personally I think the sites a waste of time for selling

eBay = Job Security for Webmasters In the past 6 months, I've had 3 eBay Power Sellers come to me who want to get away from that platform now. When you start frustrating Power Sellers, you know the game is changing. ;)
