look at this eBay s*#@!!!
« on: November 23, 2009, 09:56:40 AM »
how do you do this as a business and get away with it?
is it because all they have to do is ignore complaints, cause they know they're gonna have business with or without you?   

I hate when a company gets too big for its britches.

Send them an E-mail and tell them how pissed you are..

Most people will just roll over and play dead instead of complaining.

Can't remember what the ratio is....... 1 complaint written actually means --X --are not happy

#$%* at someone here on the forum and see how much action you get...

Just my thought..
1978 cb 550k......stock,my first re-build


Loud pipes suck.......

If you buy something.........pay for it !
If you sell something .......ship it !
If you say you are going to do something......do it !
If you have a question about something......ask it !
When the seller answers ........let him know whether you still want it or not !
If you receive something .....let the seller know you got it !
If you get something and are happy/un happy with it .....let the giver/seller know !
If you have any kind of issue,shipping/receiving/quality/price/shipping charges etc !
Communicate

That's funny! ;D

They don't care.  They're a publicly traded corporation.  As long as the shareholders are happy, that's all they care about, unfortunately.  I'm sure they'll get what's coming to them some day, though.  Just like many other big companies they're blissfully ignorant of the fact that when somebody else does eventually come up with a viable option to what they're selling that's been built on the experience of what they've done wrong, their customers will leave them in droves because they don't inspire any kind of loyalty.  In fact it seems like they actively try to discourage it.

Until you can cut into their bottom line, they won't care what you do. As long as the dollars flow, you have no influence at all. Kick 'em in the wallet and then they'll be your Beeo....

ebay's so popular that there isn't any competition, so you're sorts shafted, like with the power company.
I like searchtempest, which used to be called craigshelper.com

I can count on one hand the amount of items I have bought and sold on Ebay.

Never been a fan and never will. Sure CL and Kijiji are full of BS stuff but for free and (generally) local buy and sell their my favs big time!!
