Auctiva No Longer Free

Well, it seems that Feebay has done it again. They recently cut Auctiva’s throat by cutting the affiliate monies they had been prospering on and so ending 4 years of trouble filled free service. The forums are full of all the ruckus surrounding Auctivas’ announcement. Seems they really didn’t think the fee structure through carefully and they also felt they were entitled to FVF in addition to the other fees. People are jumping ship left and right. Auctiva has behaved poorly in public forums. The arrogant defenses and the trashing of competitors has not gone unnoticed by even its’ staunchest cheerleaders. I know becuase I was one of them. This is a huge disappointment for me but I found a space that has great support and everything I need to get my work done. Visit Seller Sourcebook –Great listing Tools

This was the actual statement by ebay that they reversed. And according to the eBay Purchase Protection Policy page, if a buyer believes an item is not authentic: “When buyers file a claim alleging that the item is not authentic, we require the buyer to destroy the item. Once a buyer confirms destruction of the item, we will reimburse the buyer or provide an eBay coupon”. Can’t figure out what they are trying to do other than push us out.

Feebay never ceases to surprise me. They put out a policy change where Buyers would be asked to destroy items they thought were fake or not authentic instead of returning to seller as SNAD. Another Joke… They did rescind this shortly after putting it in place.. Guess the heat on that decision was too hot for them.

Bonanzle is changing. The forums there are getting vicious .. a lot like feebay. Nice place though. Free to list your items but I haven’t had much luck with sales there. Unfortunetly Feebay is still the main space I sell at. Wish that would change.

Playing catch up but Feebay is getting real slow. Sales are down and nothing id bringing any real profit. The fees seem to be getting higher and higher unless you want to sell all your items for 99cents. Very little bidding going on. Frustrating.

After Feebay The Reckoning

Welcome to Contemplating Life After Feebay.

As a seller and buyer on Ebay since it was an Infant, I like most am seeking a way out before they shove me out. This Blog was designed to work somewhat like Twitter in that thoughts and comments can be short and to the point. We can help each other succeed and this is just the start.
