Trying to list multiple items on eBay and blocked by policy
What do you like about the tool?
I was blocked from consummating a listing by idiotic selling limits in a category while trying list several dozen different used computer parts at a time.
What don't you like?
What is the point of selling limits? Why baby and condescend your users? I would not list stuff if I did not think I could handle it. The set of old computer parts I want to list is quite low in selling volume. It is not as if I will be swamped with orders. I have in the last three to four months completed more than $10,000 of sales on eBay. Why do you disrespect your users by giving them trouble when they want to list $100 to $200 worth of computer parts at $10-$20 a piece?
Do you have any feature suggestions?
Eliminate stupid selling limits ASAP. I can not think of a rational business justification for them. I suspect they were thought up by a redundant middle-management person at eBay trying to justify his existence. If a seller is not providing good customer service (i.e. failing to ship on time) then penalize them. I have a 100% feedback rating, by the way. Don't make assumptions based on ham-fisted heuristics.
Any other comments?
eBay seems to have perfected the art of shooting itself in the foot. I also have an Amazon seller's account. While I wanted to list these used computer parts on eBay due to market demographics and other characteristics, I may list the remainder of the items in this lot on Amazon since I have been stopped from completing what should be a simple task because of eBay "selling limits." Going forward I may try to do more business on Amazon or elsewhere. eBay's policies come across as high-handed, bureaucratic, and disrespectful. These parts are low enough value / margin as it is to have contend with any additional hassel. I may not have the time and patience to deal with this stupid self-defeating policy bullshit in the future so I just won't list similar parts on either eBay or Amazon. If many potential sellers do this, as I have heard from annecdotal reports is the case, then the product selection and liquidity of the eBay market place may decrease.
