the.golden.ax Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'm done with eBay. This morning I had a two hour chat with eBay, they passed me around to five agents. I don't know if I can control my buying, but I will no longer sell on their site. I don't have to tell you all what they have done to ruin it, Feedback, DSR, prices, etc... they broke the camels back. I'm going to give ChuckWagon a go, all in, minimum 250 listings for at least 30 days. I can't imagine that the sales are WORSE than eBay, because frankly, the 20% completion Ive been seeing on eBay is about as sad as it gets. I asked them for a refund on current listings (99 of them) they refused, so I have to get my value and let them run out in the next day. After that look for me on Chuck.

the.golden.ax Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Have you considered using any other payment methods than paypal. I doubt eBay will ever suffer because they will always have their paypal cash-cow that makes money even from site transactions like yours.

AX Once the site grows a bit more I will secure our own merchant account. But for now Paypal is all I got. I know, it erks me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I've used BillPay a few times and had no glitches, you may want to look into that. Most banks offer it, mine does. Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hex65000 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 While I don't like PayPal, I still use it. At the very least they can't double dip like they do when you use EBay. You gotta pick your battles. KnowwhutImeanVern? Hex. [ Happy-shiny easily distracted powers.... Oh look! Dolphins! ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickybaby Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I really like CTCW, it's a great site. I need to get back to listing once things settle down. Hope you do well and welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 All you guys, if you bank online, see if your bank offer BillPay. Mine does, and I use it when I need it. I'm looking at using it and paypal (paypal may get cut out later) for any kind of sale or auction. I double checked my bank just now and I can pay individuals and businesses and it's part of the online banking so it's paid for already. And it's the bank, so there's a trail. Receipts, reprts of transactions, approvals and good security. Please guys, see if it's available to you. Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 For anyone inside Europe, generally paying via bank transfer to me hasn't been an issue. So that's gradually increased, especially for fellow UK peeps paying me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
