EBay hopes new rule changes will placate sellers

NEW YORK (AP) -- Some people who sell things on eBay are fed up with new rules the company has been imposing in hopes of making the auction site more attractive to online shoppers. Now even more changes are coming in the next few weeks, but this time eBay Inc. hopes it can cool tempers.

EBay is tweaking its online marketplace in hopes of satisfying some frustrated sellers.

Already this year, eBay has tinkered with its fee structure, search results and feedback system. These efforts might be meeting eBay's aims of improving the experience for buyers, but several sellers say their relationship with eBay is worse than ever, and some have left the site entirely.

I haven't sold anything on there in awhile. I don't like the idea of not being able to give a negative to a buyer when it might need to be left.

lol apparently you missed my thread where i was fuming about EXACTLY this... ebay is ****ing retarded anymore... but only place to get that kinda exposure and they know it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

ebay doesnt really give a shit about sellers... otherwise they would have never removed sellers abilities to leave negative feedback. (which IMO was possibly the DUMBEST thing they have EVER done.)
