Uh Oh EBAY


Well , believe it or not , I've finally put the puzzle parts together , on my Ebay-ing adventure. Everyone knows , how bad things have gotten with Ebay. There is a new CEO on board , who comes from the real corporate world. The thing is , no one suspected her of being a dying horse. That is , the corporate world knew it , but , Ebay did'nt. Yep , Ebay was the only place she could find work. And now , look at Ebay. It's become dysfunctional. Why ?

Here's what I've found out. More and more folks today are looking for that supplemental income avenue. A web based business gives a person that route. Today , Ebay has the simplest way and means to obtain a web type business , called an Ebay Store , BUTT - Ebay has also become the most expensive web site ( store ) to have. Today , duh 'bay consumes 12 % of store sales. This does not include all of duh 'bay's fees , nor does it include Ebay owned , PayPal fees. Now anyone , who has had a business can tell you , that 12 % is an expensive cost to making a buck.

Now here's the " kick me in the ass truth " , that Ebay does'nt want anyone to know and I really do mean , NO ONE ! Today , with the power of Google , a person can find what they are looking for , very very easy. This means , " YOU " can have a web based store far cheaper than using Ebay and still get the business in your door. Ya see , Ebay has pulled the wool over everyone's eyes into believing that without Ebay's ever popular visibility , you won't have the traffic. AND that just ain't so any more. If a person really is looking for something and this includes the collector , they will Google , Google. In other words , you no longer need duh 'bay , to get found. This fact has Ebay's new CEO in a panic and she can't think straight , which has resulted in all of those crazy new policies , that has all of Ebay's founding father stores , in a state of huffyness. And of course , Ebay's legal department are doing all they can , to cash in on her craziness. ( now do you see the math )

So , to wrap this up , ya don't need Ebay for a web site store anymore. Now , why have I told you all of this ? Simple. Most people , who operate a Ebay store , also run another business , like an antique store. This means , they have a business license , which means , that 12 % costs is a write off on taxes. Many folks looking for a web site business these days , don't have that , because they currently don't operate a business. For those bizz savy folks out there , I've given you plenty to chew on already. So , go put your store together and make some money. And besides , Ebay does'nt even give a ratz azz about anyone or anything. Have you seen their new and approved attitude with their new and approved user agreement ?
