When are all you people going to wake up stop depending on big Corporate company like Evil bay to run your business. Its time to venture out on your own and make that website and use other payment platform not just paypal. There are others like stripe, WePay, Amazon payment, 2checkout you can use on your own website. Why jump through hoops for ebay and let them run your life on your own business. Even the small seller are getting hit hard by buyers asking for refunds after 3 month later. Ebay is siding with dishonest buyer by refunding the buyer and they get to keep the item. Dont get me wrong there are many good sellers and good honest buyers. Then there are many people that are doing smaller fibs—like telling white lies to ease a friend's distress or to business big or small shops. You can get away with it and its no big deal to them when they do it.The small fibs are so innocuous that they apparently trip off our tongue... "To keep society running smoothly, we need to tell white lies.We don't know how many people are pathological liars, as few will admit to the condition if you go read all the blogs on ebay sellers and buyers complaints on all the search engine you will find many and still growing thses are power seller talking about there bad experince on selling it to bad buyers. Yes there are bad sellers too we all should not depend on evilbay. You can defend it because you been shoppong and selling many years on ebay sooner or later it will reach you. You will be the lucky one if you dont get a bad seller selling you a bad item! Or you as a sellers will get a bad buyer that will lie to get a free item. That what's trending around online and many are already using that tactic to use against the sellers. I been a ebay buyer and a seller since 2002 and in 2010 i was a power seller and I got 2 Award Certificate for best seller! I close my Ebay account in 2011. Ebay made a mistake by hiring stupid customer service that are terribly incompetent. This is why i left them and never again bought or sold ever again. Thats another story. I was making 5k a month part time while i was still working full time. Anyways i think ebay is being run by many small sellers and you have the big company like target china warehouse, bestbuy you will see outlet items from them. They are the one that are making it with no issue with ebay. If you notice its the smaller group seller that are having more issue with ebay the policy and rules and many dishonest buyers filing. Buying or selling is like 50% you might get a bad seller or 50% of the time you might get a bad buyer. Ebay is getting very sloppy on there policy. And now you see many seller leaving ebay and going to other website. Evilbay is a mess. Just watch this fall and see how bad it will get ebay will get many returns and many buyers filing a chargeback after knowingly receiving a refund. Look at the stock market for evilbay going down! And many seller selling fake and stolen items on ebay. People wake up! There remains a renewed and growing conviction that the decline of eBay's core operations is starting all over again. It's not at all uncommon for Internet companies to see a meteoric rise and fall (it's practically become the rule), but eBay seems to be charting a different narrative: The rise and fall. And rise. And fall. Today 8/20/2015 EBay and PayPal face a federal racketeering lawsuit, which focuses on the sale of counterfeit products.
Irvine-based company, Wimo Labs, filed a federal racketeering lawsuit against eBay Thursday. Ebay having another bad year.

Frodo O. I am a real Person from California Fresno and this is the second time i wrote here. And i think your a worker or a made up name made by someone that works for or a long time seller from Bonanza. I keep seening MARK D reposting his BBB. The truth about the BBB That is the reality of what is taking place within BBB. Companies that PAY MONEY can defend their reviews, companies that don't think it is right to have to pay BBB cannot defend their reviews. Not only this, people cannot go to BBB to post positive reviews if that given company is not paying the Better Business Bureau, so they have worked to create a system that forces companies to fatten their pockets because there system itself is geared to make every single company look negative.

"You must be accredited to be able to get a positive review, and if you do not pay, you do not get a good rating."
Is BBB Accreditation Worth it?

BBB accreditation is a huge cash grab. Before you start thinking that I am just disgruntled about the service in general, let me explain my position on it and why I don't think the accreditation is worth it. Or better said, why I think the accreditation is a bit of a hoax.

Let's look at a hypothetical scenario…

A totally legit company runs a very successful business. They have a competitor that complains on their BBB profile and gives them a bad rating (purposely). The company is then required to "pay" BBB and become accredited if they want to get back a good rating. This accreditation can range from $400 per year to $1,000's per year, depending on the size of the company.

In essence, it is a one way rankings site that ONLY allows you to help folks that complain if you pay BBB a sum of money every eyar.

To be honest, you are literally feeding the BBB MONSTER if you get accredited. If people stopped paying them for their ludicrous service, then they would get the hint that their entire business is a complete scam and it would force them to change.

Do they really deserve to be paid for only allow "bad" and often times "fake" negatives to be posted about your company?

That is up to you. If you do pay them though, you are the reason they are in business with such a fraudulent service. Yes, it will allow you to get a better grading, so ultimately in may be a business decision.

Me personally, I refrain from feeding them any BUSINESS because of their unethical approach to ratings and the fact that I like to operate off of principle
