There were a few announcements of upcoming changes but changes are the norm lately for eBay so that in itself is nothing good. In fact, most announcements for the last couple of years have been ominous for sellers.
Lorrie Norrington says that eBay has decided to change its recent feedback changes. Sounds confusing, right? That it is. She makes it sound like eBay listened to its sellers and is reversing some policy changes regarding feedback which were detrimental to most sellers. Then along comes Usher Lieberman, eBay's spokesperson, to confuse things even more with talk of these changes BUT he says, "eBay has not committed to a timeframe."
Huh? So are they reversing their previous changes or not? Is this more feint and distract on eBay's part? Some regular posters on the eBay Stores discussion board seem to think this is another con job. That is my perception, as well.
Speaking of the eBay Stores board, another little gem was discovered there today. Links policy scraped is the title of the thread. The eBay member who started the thread has this to say:
Just got my power up newsletter and at the bottom was this quote"the policy announced in May covering links in sellers' listings or other eBay pages will not be enforced. Instead, we'll be announcing a clearer and more comprehensive links policy in mid August."
Too bad I already ended 2400 listings, oh well, thanks ebay for the push towards my own site.
Off to put link back in about me page
This refers to eBay's recently announced change to their policies concerning what links are allowed in listings and on About Me pages. After the announcement was made that most links would no longer be allowed, many sellers got to work revising their listings... and work it is for those with Stores, especially, due to the large number of listings which must be revised. Now eBay seems to be saying WAIT.
Will they ever make up their mind? And what about the sellers who do not get the Power Up newsletter? How many are revising their listings right this minute, thinking they know what eBay expects? Will they be revising all over again if and when eBay finally decides just what its links policy is to be?
The above examples are just a few things which happened this week on eBay which should carry some good news for sellers, at first glance. Once you look below eBay's murky surface, a different picture is seen. Sadly, with eBay, very little, if anything, is at it seems.
eBay is never going to change for the better. eBay only gets worse and worse.

ReplyDeleteSorta like their little red doors for stores??
LMAO
Lorrie Norrington is unfit.
ReplyDeleteThat shoes incident is simply too much.
Where is the outrage?
Why isn't anyone calling for her resignation?
Does she not have any shame?
(dumb question)
One more thing, if you check the numbers, you will see that 60% neutral feedback thing, while vague, is all aimed at protecting big sellers like te controversial buy.com.
Their feedback stands to increase to over 99%, up from the present dismal... oops, never mind, I just looked again & it already jumped up...
So I guess "eBay has not committed to a timeframe."
means that the big players get that instantly, and the masses get weasel words.
LMAO
I hope someone else caught that. It was aboutr 90 % the other day.
