STOPPING EBAY SALES FOR NOW

These items are directly responsible for why I offered fewer items for sale on eBay than I could.  They cause excess time and effort for every listing. 

1.  The difficult process of NOT using eBay shipping.  Don't ask why I don't want to use eBay shipping.  I don't want to use eBay shipping for ANYTHING.  I have my reasons and I don't wish to argue them.  No they are NOT about gouging for shipping.  They are about providing BETTER service for customers.  The current process is time consuming to circumvent. 

2.  Having to open a hidden section and manually turn off "make offer" every single time I list an item.  I do not ever want to accept offers on fixed priced items I manufacture for sale.  It should be a visible options.  Not a hidden default.  It doesn't make much time, but it takes time, and it sometimes gets missed because it is HIDDEN. 

This item is just annoying. 

3.  No ability to create a listing for just one customer who has communicated with you through eBay about, their particular needs or circumstances.  Of course, if I tell them just visit my website because it's easier, then eBay can ding me for the commission even if I never make a sale. 

Nothing new here, and the "well you have to..." and the "well I never have a problem..." crowds.  Please don't.  These are all old long term complaints. 

And lastly for those who might say, "If you don't like it go somewhere else."  I am currently delisting my last few items on eBay until I have time to try to figure out a better more streamlined process for dealing with eBay sales. 

On a positive note.  I actually got views and sales from time to time on eBay unlike other platforms where I only got views if I paid extra.  I'm not saying goodbye to eBay forever.  Just taking a break from them because I am busy enough for now without them.

I can fix a couple of the problems by using templates for listing items for sale on eBay.  I'll probably resume eBay sales sometime in the near future. 

I posted this on the eBay community and there were lots of rabid fanboys, but there was one person who actually helped by suggesting the use of templates.
