eBay's Donahoe Has Crow for Thanksgiving
You've been duped. The news... that's right... the new as in the network B*I*G G*U*Y*S are reporting that consumers comparison shopping online (e-commerce) state that ebay is much higher in price than Amazon now for the "hot commodities" such as electronics, games, etc, etc, are HIGHER IN PRICE(bold, italics, underlined) now on ebay than they are purchased thru Amazon.
No matter how much you say it, it just won't make it true! And the spenders won't be on ebay.
Means you are being duped and paid more.
Amazon, eBay: Headed for a Holiday Showdown
Yes, buyers are spending, but taking great care and choosing the special and unique. There may be a recession coming but for NOW the money is there, but being spent with very choice decisions.
Junk and dime-a-dozen goodies are definitely OUT!
Amazon, eBay: Headed for a Holiday Showdown
I have had a booth at craft fairs the past two weekends and am getting ready for one this Black Friday weekend. The past two weeks have been excellent business!
Folks looking for the extra special and unique at a reasonable price!
Wednesday Market Outlook: What Is the Fed Hoping to Achieve?
Amazon policy CLEARLY STATES that they will hold seller funds for a period of time when they sign on and start selling. If not agreeable to that, a seller shouldn't come on board.
The Amazon board is FULL of people who sign on without reading Amazon's policy and then come crying to the boards when they have their funds in holding (which is ALWAYS for newbies), or worse, are banned from selling due to some infraction. The seasoned 3P's (third party sellers) have very little patience with these crybabies who so obviously didn't read the rules! Be prepared to get flamed!
READ THE POLICY BEFORE SIGNING ON! Amazon wants to make sure it's third party sellers are satisfactorily complying with their policy and punctually filling orders.
Amazon clearly states what it means, and means what it states!
Was eBay's BillMeLater Acquisition A Huge Blunder?
FAR from that with ebay.
The financial world is facing tough times ahead. We're in the eye of the tunnel now with this economical storm, but just wait. For a company with so obviously faulty steering that beat the economy with a downward spiraling pathway despite a healthy spreadsheet, to acquire just such a company as Bill Me Later once the econmy HAS commenced to derail is LUNACY!
Buy a credit company for close to a billion dollars when the very foundation of credit industry is cracking wide open?!
Complete idiocy!
eBay's Weakening Bid
I just bought some Hannah Montana shirts at Walmart for ONE DOLLAR!!! Special blow out price!
They'll probably show up on ebay for $5.00... or up! Definitely up, or the poor seller won't even break even!
ebay is a has been.
eBay's Weakening Bid
And the truth shall set you free!
eBay Betting on Coupons for Holiday Boost
If ebay is "allocating the bulk of their holiday budget" to coupons they are acknowledging they are in serious financial waters indeed.
Should We Really Bail Out the Big Three Automakers with $73.20 Per Hour Labor?
"The BIG 3 sealed their own fate when they were given subsidies in the 70's and instead of innovating created the SUV."
Yes yes yes! I come from that time as a teen and young adult. Remember it well. The "Big Three" would not even consider building economy cars. Just plain refused. We were in a genuine fuel crises then. Any remember. Even and odd days had to tank up if your license plate was even or odd? The Big Three opened a Pandora's Box they could -- with good reason -- never close! The Imports -- mainly Japanese -- brought to the country their excellently engineered economy automobiles and the Big Three have NEVER recovered.
"Buy American"? only? Not this gal's dad. A World War II veteran who saw active duty in the South Pacific Theater, who fought at Okinawa, Iwo Jima, the Phillipines, among elsewhere, was one of the first to snap up those great cars.
Without ever waging an inner loyalty battle.
Should We Really Bail Out the Big Three Automakers with $73.20 Per Hour Labor?
If you want to make this political, the let's point the finger the right direction. "Way back when" Pres Clinton started after the lending institutes to relax their approval requirements! I easily recall that. Anybody of age as an adult in the U.S. of A. remembers that!!!
This housing and auto and financial collapse has NOTHING to do with the "war". It was not "CAUSED" by the war. It IS, however, rotten timing.
Paypal Holds Sellers' Funds Hostage
Attention all posters:
Do not forget to check your thumbs up, thumbs down boxes as you post or check back. Please stay abreast of this new feature as it will make a statement in and of itself.
I also suspect there are those that will find ways to attempt tipping this scale.
So, no slackers! :~) Thanks!

This report is already suspect. By "unique audience" could mean ANYTHING and with no specific revelations as to where the "unique audience" is garnered, plus the brevity and no actual weight to the generalization of specifics renders the report rather empty.
Paypal Holds Sellers' Funds Hostage
So predictable, so predictable.
Paypal Holds Sellers' Funds Hostage
Wall Street Closing at 3:54 p.m.
ebay stock rings out at $12.935 per share!
Yikes!!! Year's low to date!!!
Paypal Holds Sellers' Funds Hostage
Golly gee, if the stock hits Five Bucks maybe the thousands upon thousands of disgruntled ebay sellers should toddle out Buy It Now! LOL!
It might be only a drop in the ebay bucket, but you get a large enough group rocking the boat the same way and if the Board doesn't listen up finally, the boat might capsize.
Just a thought. But all you out there, take it seriously! Do!!!
I wonder if "non ebay" using Paypal users have probs with their debit cards? I just might find a reason to go out and give mine -- that has a balance from other sites -- a try! Hmmm?
