eBay Can Do Nothing Right According To Sellers

from the dissatisfied-bunch dept

It amazes me that no matter what eBay does to try to make their system better, "loyal" eBay sellers get pissed off and threaten to leave. They got pissed off about the auction for America. They got pissed off about a recommendation service. They got pissed off when eBay redesigned. The latest is eBay's new "checkout" system, which actually does appear to be very poorly implemented. However, once again eBay sellers are threatening to leave. With all the threats to leave, it seems a bit odd that eBay continues to meet or beat their estimates each month, and is one dot com that continues to do very well despite the economic downturn in the world around them.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Damn. I keep doing that this week. I'd like to blame my computer keyboard for not copying and pasting correctly, but, instead I'll just admit that I'm a moron.

    Okay. Fixed.
