According to Mashable, some eBay sellers are so unhappy with recent changes that they have planned a week long strike. The strike is planned for the week of February 19 through the 25th.
There has been a lot of changes occurring recently at eBay. First, eBbay decided to disable negative reviews. This will prevent sellers from leaving negative comments about buyers. This has upset eBay sellers because they feel that they have no recourse for non-paying buyers. Now, they will have to go through the lengthy process of filing a complaint with eBay’s Security & Resolution Center.
In an effort to encourage sellers to list more items for sale, eBay lowered listing fees for seller. They are hoping this might soften the blow of yet one more change which will affect search algorithm. This change in searches will favor high volume sellers and put lower volume sellers at a disadvantage. The lowering of the listing fees has not helped to appease sellers and they are striking as of Monday.
