’s corporate culture is to allow everything - they cant stand the idea of punishing/restricting sellers.
I complained about things like sellers overcharging for shipping and handling and did nothing.
I complained about fake ID’s, badges, FBI and police-only material being auctioned and they did nothing.
I complained about unscrupulous sellers who had screwed me on myEbay home page and the wonks made me remove it.
will pile on the little guy - the buyer who gets three marks for not completing a purchase but you know what,
They wont do a thing to sellers.
They dont want to ban or suspend sellers because that is how they make their record profits and big stock portfolios.
I think the only thing I have ever heard removed from an listing was human organs like kidneys being auctioned.
If they really cared, would make an easy single port of entry for complaints and establish service thresholds for sellers, something like 10 negatives a month or 20 negatives in six months.
Have you ever tried to register a complaint with ? It is like a very bad dream.
Would love to see a threshold set for negative feedbacks in a month and if a seller goes over that maximum, seller is banished from for the next 90 days. Now that would help clean up this problem. Then publish these sellers id and actual full name and state so that everyone can learn they are cheaters. Put it in the community section and call it EBAY SUSPENSIONS. It would be huge and help alot.

Reputable sellers - if you are going to charge handling - PUT IT IN BIG LETTERS AT THE TOP OF THE LISTING AND STATE THE AMOUNT so that the buyer has a clue about this before they bid - WAY TOO MANY sellers have adopted this ambush-em after the bid to keep their profit margins high even if the item goes cheap. Until we as a community insist on these kinds of accountability changes, is going to continue to have 1 or 2% of its sellers hiding its practices from the buyer.
