They're generally self ritious scammers. 50% of all my negative feedback came from France when I sold there. And I'm talking out of thousands of transactions, 10 negatives and 5 from France. Won't miss you douche bags! I’m a professional ebay seller and won’t miss the buyers from France.

I quit Ebay! Now Iam out for revenge! Lets stick it to them like the greedy sons of ####### did to us. I now have my own website where I sell Amazon products, that means I make money off other peoples auctions. Plus I can list all the products of my own that I want, (I do not have to list them with Amazon first) I just put them up on my website. I can also put all the affiliate links banners and digital products that I want on MY webpage and get paid for it. I have my own domain name so Iam building my own brand name and customer base. It was a turnkey website setup and ready to go when I started it, but with the online editor you get with it you dont need to know HTML or any programing to add your own products,banners, affiliate links, or digital products. I can change the site to look anyway I want its very easy to do. And I offer my costomers Free online games,news ,weather, sports and more. All for $20 a month. Why pay Ebays fees when you can have all of this and amazon will pay you to sell other peoples poducts along side yours , and you dont have to list anything on amazon if you dont want to? Go to my site Durashopping.com to see an example of this Website. I have modified the site(you will not get one just like it) to look the way I want, you can do the same very easy. If you also want to do this- just click the green banner at the top of the page. durashopping.com I partnered with the top Ebay competitor!

I think it was grand of them to leave with a party. Makes better for getting a new job than being a bitter sore looser. Besides those of us using ebay know what is going on.

Gutless US management cut everything in Europe to save their own fat asses and keep the share price up. Didn't work in the long term and they lost market share to european startups who focussed on the local market and took market share. Ebay will lose all their local knowledge and expertise - just to cut costs for 2 years. Good luck to all the Ebay staff in the UK and France, sure you can find a better employer anyway.
