Well I know alot of you will disagree, but I only can speak upon my expierences, not anyone else's....I have been selling on ebay for under 2 years, not a power seller, just sell my hand crafted jewelry. I have sold professionally for 16 years at shows,gallerys and such. Ebay has given me the opportunity to make extra cash and also a venue for my regular customers to view my new items.Last month eBay took away the Artist/handcrafted jewelry catagory and alot of us were in the position to loose alot of money, right before Christmas. We joined together and stayed in contact with eBay,they actually returned the category!! Business returned and I was very surprised that a big company would actually admit they were wrong with a change they had attempted. Yes we pay fees,but I don't feel they are out of range for the exposure we get. I love BIN,and am no forced to list with eBay.So why all the gripping? If you are all so pissed off with eBay, just don't list, and they no longer will have any effect on your lives or pocketbooks! Just my opinion....

Well........I like ebay too...........It pays my bills ~ I do wish I could change a few things.........but I also wish I was thin....I tried listing on Yahoo ~ did not have a single bid on over 50 auctions ~ so for my business, it is my business, and dispite the desire to change the feedback system, and some of the fees ~ it is ebay all the way for me

I like gripping. It's a lot more fun than griping, depending of course what you're gripping and/or griping about.

Of course, when gripping, be sure to use a loose one, or you may lose more than you bargained for.

The art of gripping is "touch" and "feel". Knowing when to utilize which grip in which circumstance.
The art of griping I haven't mastered yet.

I too have found that gripping can be a pleasurable experience for many....while griping never gave pleasure to anyone...not even the griper.

I don't know what's up with it but I'm starting to become very annoyed at this point! Do you think they could post something on the announcement board besides "same ole~same ole???" HELLO EBAY, WHERE ARE YOU?

You know what bugs me? The eternal "Regards, eBay" thing they always use.
Ebay, let me show you where to hold that "regards". It'll be my pleasure.
Oh shoot. Gotta get a grip!

It's ok, you can continue griping....you can get to your gripping later! YES, I HATE THE "Regards" crap too....I just wanna email them and tell them how much I feel like griping!!!!!! But instead I'm spending my time like the rest of the "people on ebay" just gripping! (NOT SURE WHAT I'M GRIPPING THOUGH)

Suggested changes for "Regards, eBay":

Don't call us, we'll call you, eBay.
