eBay is AWFUL! The last straw just happened yesterday. Not only are the FEES ridiculous, they do not care about the sellers. I've been scammed now three times and lost $100's of dollars. Thank you so much for this video.
They don't really care about the buyers either. There is still noo request total button on the mobile app, so buyers often have to pay s/h for each item, instead of getting a new combined invoice. So much for eBay's advocacy for combined shipping!
This happened with me now. I am very dissapointed. I started sell cheap things, and sold them. And I got my money.. technically I paid for sell items. Sorry for my english, I hope you understand what I am writing.
I tried to sell a $600 Nikon. Guy with a EBay store bought my camera but filed a refund. Meanwhile he listed it to sell for a higher price. Meanwhile EBay made me refund him $600 via PayPal. After a month the guy didn't sell My Camera for $800 so he returned it to me. Meanwhile I lost a real buyer. People told me that's just the cost of doing business! Not me, Bye EBay
I had a guy do this and mark item by x10. Never sold, it went to a remaling service, never had full name, big red country scammer. Had listed the item in another country too. I did not get a return. Really strange stuff.
I enrolled in international shipping and all my ads state I only ship to the U.S. and no agents know how to fix it.EBAY HAS BECOME COMPLETE SHIT SINCE 2020!
@user-xv4hh2ck9v I’ve moved since I got banned but ya you need to at least go on data every-time you login. As for changing your name you can’t do anything there because the name has to match your bank
I hate ebay, but that gets me buyers outside my local area. I also place ads on CL and FB, and reduce the price by 15~20% for my local buyers. So I have to make 3 ads, to find my buyer.
Ebay is the worst. After 24 years of dedicated selling I fell under their standards because I had to cancel several orders due to receiving damaged stock from my wholeseller. Now I am restricted for a whole year and can only sell a much smaller amount of items than normal. They could care less. To them you are a worthless peon!
One of the biggest problems with eBay is the lack of a Request Total button on the mobile app. It is still on the standard platform. Some sellers seem to have it figured out- I guess? But some of us are lost in the dark. I have tried this and that under all of my shipping policies, and not much seems to work.
I sold a pair of size 14 converse shoes.they were new. The buyer wore them and wanted a refund stating not new. Meanwhile they will be scuffed up now. When I get back my
I hate ebay. I don't get any views. I have done all the right things like key words, good description etc. I do promoted listings and that makes no difference.
Shopify - for SERIOUS sellers. It's not relevant to small private sellers who are being shafted by ebay. Ebay is now free to sell, but next month (Feb 2025) they will charge BUYERS who buy from private sellers. Private sellers are now at a double disadvantage, ebay will add fees to buyers from private sellers (although they will hide them) AND sellers won't receive payment until the goods arrive. Although most small ebay sellers will roll over and take the double indignity. I think ebay doesn't really want private sellers any more, and what we need is a version of ebay as it was before it was swamped with chinese sellers and shop shipping businesses.
You have recommended 3 alternatives to eBay seem like a lot of work, and sounds kind of sketchy. As someone just trying to make money without a STORE, the eBay fees are high, yes, but there is no rent, no electric, no water, etc. I will say, as a past ebay seller, coming back has been a real pain in the tukus! Ebay is Not what is once was; really! you have to ship BEFORE getting paid? I understand, there are a lot of shady sellers for sure, why do the good ones have to suffer.
yeah in Canada it goes to some S.E. Asia country, they lie or have no clue what they say. It's awful. I had to get confirmation of a package that was entered delivered to a wrong address...not my fault....did so anyways and they still held my money and blammed their ignorant outsourced reps.
I think your best option is the old fashioned way- brick and stone store. Shipping would be very expensive, so your best option is just to have a website for the advertising, much like many places would do. You could still sell your furniture on it though, but it would be pickup only, unless you wanted to use your own transport to deliver the furniture.
Hostinger is a scam, they ask for ID and hold your website & domain ransom, it’s a privacy nightmare. I never consented to give my ID BEFORE I PAID FOR PREMIUM….. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Lost me at the beginning when you started talking about Shopify. NOT an eBay alternative. We are NOT BIG 500 FORTUNE companies. A lot of us are just downsizing and need a marketplace to do that. You need to change the title of your video - it is HIGHLY misleading!
This is a great video. However im so annoyed at all this online e-commerce shit. I feel like its a gift and a curse i hate the way they control shit its ridiculous i miss the brick and motar days. Yes there were other things you had to worry about but you had far more control of your business.

scammed how??? What do we need to look out for?
Me, too, but have no idea how to use Shopify at all there.
I started selling on Mercari just because eBay be taking so much money from my sells and fees are CRAZY! I’m about done with eBay now…
How are the sales. I find it slow compared to eBay
This happened with me now. I am very dissapointed. I started sell cheap things, and sold them. And I got my money.. technically I paid for sell items. Sorry for my english, I hope you understand what I am writing.
What are Mecari fees?
I agree, Ebay is too greedy with fees
Not only that but eBay is just criminal. Buyers can get and break stuff then get a full refund off you
Nothing you listed was a market place.... Those arent comparative alternatives. Those 3 things are alternatives to each other, yet not to ebay.

Same thing happened to me over a Super Nintendo
LOL the dude trying to dropship YOU LMAO

Thanks for the info@
This video is brought to you by Shopify LoL....Thanks for wasting my time!
ebay gives me a headache
Me too
I enrolled in international shipping and all my ads state I only ship to the U.S. and no agents know how to fix it.EBAY HAS BECOME COMPLETE SHIT SINCE 2020!
Don’t fuck with eBay those bans are serious I need to get a new bank, phone number, and network provider to try making a new account
@user-xv4hh2ck9v I’ve moved since I got banned but ya you need to at least go on data every-time you login. As for changing your name you can’t do anything there because the name has to match your bank
eBay is burying my listings. No views on my auctions after weeks.
Same!
💯
I had a listing that has 17 views in one day eBay dropped it to 1 view and the worst they want me to promote it. It won’t happen.
When I post on eBay I get 15 or so views the first two days then never any more. It seems eBay limits views to make seller spend money on advertising!
Shopify is NOT a reseller platform. NOT an alternative to EBAY in any way shape or form, Woo is the same....totally different platforms... Mercari is.

HI: How about the sales tax, ebay withold and pay.
I agree with you. I opened my own site for my digital-products. Much better!
The marketplace platform fees are getting crazy!
Yes, ridiculous is more like it. @@SantrelMedia

I just have a few things I need to sell and get rid of. Where would be the website to do that?
I just read about shopify reviews and it is 1,3 stars. Really bad..

15% plus promotion and label costs. $600 dollar international sale cost another $120 on top of that.

eBay is a scam
Best payment method for WordPress/woo commerce site where users can pay via their credit/ debit card?
Stripe allows credit debit and Apple Pay.
Stripe is dependable but there are new players emerging! I'll make a video on it
@@SantrelMedia Thanks for your reply. Sure, I will be waiting for that. Meanwhile can I consider 2checkout?
I had to sell and resell an authentic Gucci bag because scammers bought it and would never pay.

ebay's fees are waaaaaay too much screw them
Hi Mike, I will have watch this one or more times before I comment. Thanks though for the good work.
LET'S DISCUSS OVER - Mentorship/FULL course
eBay as stopped phone support in UK not sure if this is the case in US
Not correct, they have a callback service. My wife speaks to them at least 1/week. If you are lucky you get the Irish/UK reps
@@McDeathUK Yes, but it's not as easy as just dialing a phone number.
You have to go to go thou a heap a buffers.
they just hide their customer service, and their algo is programmed for them to be hard to reach
yeah in Canada it goes to some S.E. Asia country, they lie or have no clue what they say. It's awful. I had to get confirmation of a package that was entered delivered to a wrong address...not my fault....did so anyways and they still held my money and blammed their ignorant outsourced reps.
Ebay fees are getting High
Ebay has always been ridiculous... there fees are outrageous, plus there plain crooked
Vinted is taking over now! Free seller fees
Vented does to want to grow, they get any inkling you are a business they permaban you
eBay anymore is a Joke! I got My account Permanently Banned Just For someone returning an item. Which is phucking ridiculous in My Mind! 🤦🏽♂️
The thing about ebay is ORGANIC TRAFFIC
Unfortunately, none of these platforms work for me because I restore and resell vintage furniture.
I think your best option is the old fashioned way- brick and stone store. Shipping would be very expensive, so your best option is just to have a website for the advertising, much like many places would do. You could still sell your furniture on it though, but it would be pickup only, unless you wanted to use your own transport to deliver the furniture.
wish one best in uk ?
I was selling on ebay and now they are taking all your money In Fees
Hostinger is a scam, they ask for ID and hold your website & domain ransom, it’s a privacy nightmare. I never consented to give my ID BEFORE I PAID FOR PREMIUM….. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
