Ebay could have at least let you take some dollars for postage so you can actually send the items.
I recently sold some cards but paypal didn't hold the payments which is quite good after hearing your stories.
Something makes me wonder though, my DSR is 4.8 across the board. I ship the cards straight away and leave feedback once I sent it. So why can't I get 5.0 for postage time. Is it my fault if the postal service doesn't deliver straightaway?
Also, I charge $2.50 for Australia. After I pay for the bubble envelope $1.00 and postage $1.20, ebay will then charge another 9percent off that $2.50 which is around 24 cents. And after Paypal take its cut, I actually will be paying part of the postage. Then I get 4.8 DSR. [-X
on another note. Yesterday I transferred $$$$ charity money to my charities bank from paypal.
I wonder if next time they will hold a substantial amount for 21 days. And I also wonder when it says can take up to 5 days to arrive in your account if that is the banks fault as they claim or paypal making some interest in that period.

Thanks for reminding me of that.... So I really lose more for shipping. Its like the government, they could care less what petrol is selling for as they get more taxes, so why is ebay caring about your terms and conditions of shipping if people pay by paypal and they get a split of it?
I am looking at quicksales now and just focus on australia, has anyone had any good experiences with it? Seems rather slow with no promotion at all.
You sold for a long time on ebay... how can it not? The price point is better and if you tell people you are selling on it, then some will follow.How would quicksales help?
What I meant is what makes quicksales any different from other smaller websites like oZtion? The audience especially the buyers side is extremely small. Everybody wants to sell. There is no Special point of differentiation that attracts people to the site. I have attempted on other sites before, my inventory never moved unless it was a fabulous deal. Yes, I paid much lower fees but could not have decent sales at all. Yes, you are right in saying if you never try, you never know. I am just speaking from experience that to topple eBay would be a mammoth task but niche websites like here and comc have been establish where it serves market specific. I don't see how it can beat oct or comc in selling cards. Love to be proven wrong coz that means eBay would have less business.
Even worse still. I used oztion. Nothing moved!!!!
