Ebay sellers Being Targeted

[pearlinggate]

I am in the state of Florida. I have been selling on ebay for over 10 years and over the past 10 years sellers have been targeted and DISCRIMINATED agaist.

Point #1
Sellers can no longer leave Negative feedback. There is a "Detailed seller raiting" where a buyer can leave a 1 or 2 rating thus causing the sellers account getting Put into a Freeze "Below Standard". Thus freezing my funds. There is no way for sellers to leave a "Detailed Buyer Rating". why don't buyers have a rating but sellers do


Point #2
We sellers are not a business atleast i'm not. I do not have a Tax ID. Why do sellers have to pay taxes on Income but buyers don't have to pay taxes on purchases. If buyers make $10,000 in purchases on ebay. There is no taxes paid on this purchase.

If you don't like eBay's regulations, don't use eBay.

If you sell something to somebody in-state, typically you should charge sales tax. And people have already paid taxes on the money that they send you for their items.

I’ve been an eBay seller for a bit longer. When they implemented the no negative feedback, started counting shipping costs towards FVF (thanks to the chicom sellers for that one) and the list goes on. I left. Bottom line is, it’s a private marketplace you choose to use (and pay for) not to mention a "eBay seller" is not a member of any protected class. All you can do is not use their service anymore.

It's not illegal discrimination. Ebay sellers are not a protected class.

Ebay's "good old days" are far far behind them. It will never be like that again. Literally the only thing I have purchased in the last 5 years is cheap cell phone accessories.
