Goodbye to ebay..

By admin | March 15, 2009

Hi today I finally did it, yes after selling and working on eBay for four years I finally closed my account. I’m not mad about it now just a little disappointed that it has had to come to an end.

 I know that many of you in the internet marketing niche class eBay as a second class type of selling and a lot more got out a year ago when the eBook ban came into effect.

 So why I am so late getting out, simple because I was still making money. EBay got me into marketing on line in the first place a little differently from many marketers as I always sold physical products from day one, manly cds. But like so many I court the buzz there and in the early days it gave me the successful cash cow I needed to invest in my carrier online.

With the new rules that came into force last oct involving add placement and eBay shops I have to finally admit defeated ,selling the same items at the same price I have seen my costs go up by over 100% and sales go down by 30% so that’s it for me and eBay I know I sound like so many other marketers but when its time its time .

would I go back if they change the rules again on add placement YES
