After going on one of my favorite sites YouTube I came across this video and was just wondering did anyone participate in the strike??

OK so I'm going through a little bit because of some recent happenings with some of the buyers on eBay.  So I had planned on launching my store in April but I just put that thing on hold right there.  Like I have a storefront and that is my first passion right there my boutique is my baby and I had planned on making my eBay store my online baby.

So I am pushing ahead with my eBay store but it will be exclusive to men, I have decided not to sell female clothes just men.  And mainly men I like so it will have a vast selection for the husky guys the XXL guys.  Hopefully the guys won't feel bad about being called High Maintenance but I love the name if my store and I'm not about to change it so it will be HM Men's!!  So you will be seeing more of me and my name.  But I guess I need some feedback from the eBay community on what do men really want??  Are there a bunch of fashionisto's out there who just love to be dressed so let me know what it is that you want and I will try my best to get it for you.

I'll be waiting for your response eBay!!!

As a seller on eBay I cannot believe that they have passed this stupid rule that now you cannot leave buyers that have paid negative feedback.  I have been harassed by buyers on ebay to a point that I will no longer sell female products.  I have found in my experience that my male buyers have been much more incline to contact you and resolve a problem than a female buyer would be.  I have been threatened, have had my feedback rating held hostage and just very erratic behavior from the female buyers of ebay.  To the point where it is not the place that I once thought it was.  It is very unfair for all the excellent sellers out there who do there best to provide excellent service to the ebay community have there feedback rating just thrown in the trash by the many ebayers who leave negative comments just to be funny.  I have statred adding names to my blocked bidders list but that ios capped at 1000 names.  Ebay really should have thought this through and asked the sellers first before passing a rule like this.  Neutral feedback is really not enough when these people deserve NEGATIVE feedback.

I propose that if you are a seller on ebay that you write to them expressing your concerns and asking that they take a look at this feedback policy and change it back.  I am a good seller and I know that there are many great sellers out there who do not deserve the treatment that they are getting from the buyers out there who try to beat the system.  Now I have even had people file complaints on paypal trying to get things for free.  Thank goodness they take a look at the threatening emails that I have been sent but still there is not enough protection for the seller on eBay.  This is a totally unfair rule and needs to be changed, it just seems as if they are penalizing all sellers as a whole because of a few bad apples.  This is going to be a nightmare and I am looking at my dreams of being a powerseller and really rethinking them.  Just because people pay ontime or pay at all doesn't mean that they don't deserve negative feedback because sometimes they do for all the grief that they give you.  I have had someone threaten me because they claim I owe the $1.81 in a shipping refund.

Once again to all those sellers out there write to those eBay execs and let them know this new feedback rule is BS and they should keep things as they are!!!!

Ok so I am so done with cleaning out my closet for now I have to go thru a hole other round once I get out all my summer items but most importantly I am learning so much by just making eBay my full time job.  One of the things I haven't learned yet is how to get people to leave feedback, it's like for every 5 items that I sell only one person really leaves me feedback. I would like to know how does the eBay community get there buyers to leave feedback and positive feedback at that. 

I guess I don't want to leave feedback first because what if the person leaves you negative feedback just to be mean than you can't leave anything or change your feedback.  I really would like to give out positive feedback to people as soon as they pay but what if they decide to leave bad feedback.  Please help all comments are appreciated.
