I have been a retail bridal store owner for 18 years and have been selling excess inventory on Ebay for 4 years. I have many manufacturers that will cancel my account if I sell their merchandise on Ebay

The podcast seems to not load. I can't hear any voice.

I have a small corporation for resell skates . I was tring to resell brand skates and the first thing they ask me if I was looking foward to sell on ebay? Cause if I do, they would not sell to me .Now I run my own web site selling skates instead .
This is just the tip of the ice berg . Ebay has been messing around with many policies without cause a permanente damage . But this last seller non-peformance policy change is causing many families ( as mine) as cause many manufacturers a permanent damage .
Be banned of ebay for me is notorious . Its absolutily impossible to keep up the peformance as they want .So we are observing a new time where ebay will be not that cool anymore!

I never seen ebay promotions going in the range of a month ( free for a month ) . That's shows exactly an display thats show more and more sellers are not spending any buck and few was forced to stop or been banned as me and my wife
