More on Ebay


My buddy Griff at the Vegas party.


Well I am so happy that the rumours going around before ebay's announcement on Monday were for the most part wrong! What kept me from falling into the negativity trap was the fact I had been able to see the people behind the changes as human beings and not some uncaring corporate rule makers who were out to get small sellers.

All in all the changes are as positive as I was told they would be, ebay is listening to what their small sellers need and are trying to please everyone, which remember ain't an easy thing to do!

I must admit I will still worry a bit about DSR scores but will relax more knowing it takes more than 1 or 2 bad apples to spoil things now.

I love the new badge for Top Sellers - I think this is a positive step! And being able to qualify for discounts based on how you conduct business as opposed to dollar amounts... bravo ebay!

The only one I'm not overly enthusiastic about is the insurance. I understand the reason behind it but doesn't mean I have to like it! I went and signed up for a third party insurance called Shipsurance - it is far cheaper than USPS insurance and better since now I can insure those 1st Class International shipments as well. I strongly encourage everyone to get a free quote and look into how it would work for your business! http://www.shipsurance.com/?refId=187

I hope everyone listens to the Town Hall today at 3:30 pst. Now's the time to ask those questions and give your input!!
