is eBay Australia getting Desperate

During the last week eBay Australia and PESA, have announced the 2008 PESA summite. This itself is not so extraordinary in itself, but the fact the personal letters have been sent out to power sellers, this year is something extra. Previously I have not received a letter from ebay despite being a power seller, and even this year i have not received a letter, however my partner who is also selling on ebay, received a letter.

A Good Powerseller

One may wonder why the difference, we are both Power Sellers maintaining the correct standing according to the rules laid down by ebay, we have both been selling on ebay for a number of years, and a DSR's are above 4.6 and over 99% positive rating so why was only one Invitation sent. We live at different addresses so one letter would not suffice...

Paypal, the Petition and forum comments

One huge difference, and this was that I signed the petition protesting about the mandatory forcing of paypal onto eBay Australian sellers, i Submitted a number of submissions to the ACCC outlining why Paypal should not be mandatory and I participated on the forums on ebay protesting about how unfair it is and that sellers should have a choice..

Sour grapes?

This smack of sour grapes, that ebay is not going to invite any person who spoke out against them, but it does not matter, because ebay sellers have moved on and are now running independent businesses and have made the move from ebay to other systems.


Any other thought on this development, were you invited and if so did you comment on the ACCC notification
