Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

There is a really good seller near me in Springfield Missouri who sells lots of toys on eBay. This just happened to him. No warning, no explanation, no appeal. However, very fortunately for him, he took my advice a few years ago and diversified onto his own site and as an Amazon seller, and he wil

Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

Yes indeed. Many sellers rely totally on eBay for their living. It would be devastating for them if they were banned but setting up an alternative business outside of ebay takes a lot of time and effort and I wonder how some people would cope. JOHN REID VINTAGE MOVIE MEMORABILIA Websites: ww

Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

Yes, unfortunately there is no real "Amazon-like" alternative to eBay for poster sellers like there is for so many other kinds of sellers. On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 5:30 AM, JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia < johnr...@moviemem.com> wrote: > Yes indeed. Many sellers rely totally on eBay for the

[MOPO] Two million posters up for auction!

Just got notice from an Italian auction house of an upcoming sale that includes 1,000 linenbacked posters plus thousands of box lots. This appears to be mainly cinema posters but there are a lot of vintage advertising pieces as well. The email I got says there are over two million posters i

Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

For sellers who rely solely on ebay, this must be quite frightening. However, depending on what you're selling it may be pretty hard to build up an independent business at this point. Personally, I've said good-bye to ebay several years ago, but from their very beginning, ebay has always suppl

Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

Ebay sucks. I received an email recently stating that I was underperforming and I may be restricted to how many items I can sell and that ebay may hold on to monies collected for a period of time before releasing. A few weeks later I received another email saying that my selling had improved and I

Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

this is all indeed quite curious , i haven't heard of any of this on eBay France as yet , but with so many more or less small eBay sellers grossing quite a lot of money (i have no idea as for percentage of total sales nor the number of not that big eBay sellers) would that really weigh agains

Hi all, Much thanks for your kind words and/or auction bids. I have updated the auction with additional information and another pic, because Kelsey forgot to add cardboard wings to the assemblage.  I appreciate your patience. Allen On Wednesday, November 6, 2013 10:08 PM, Susan Heim wro

Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

Actually, you *CAN *"improve" without selling a thing! These notices are generated by bots, and you must have had a low rating or two that "fell off" your score between the first time and the second time (because they only go back so far), and that raised your rating. And in the first "purge" a wh

Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

by the way, what is happening now is that ebay is hamstringing those that did not consider this to be something that might happen down the road. start thinking of all the other ways ebay can screw you.. each will become a reality in it's own time. Those that did not create other avenues due to ma

Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

Many sellers feel that because they have been loyal to ebay for all these years and have maintained good feedback and spent plenty of money in fees they deserve some loyalty in return. That really is not the case. If you dont accept the rule changes and standards you are in danger of being kicke

Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

I get contract rates but I still spend more than 2000.00 per month on shipping alone and I am just a sole trader. If you sell internationally and charge more than 20.00 for postage on ebay you in danger of having your ratings trashed. JOHN REID VINTAGE MOVIE MEMORABILIA Websites: www.moviemem.c

Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

while shipping is one equation, ebay has made it more difficult to make profits as rates for shipping and listings/sold fees have increased. big sellers on ebay are able to negotiate shipping costs due to their volume and I am not aware of any poster dealers who get close to this bar. Eventual

Re: [MOPO] Scary news for ebay sellers

The big problem for sellers seems to be with shipping. eBay wants sellers to offer low cost shipping and that is hard for those who need to pack lobby cards, one sheets etc securely with strong sheets of cardboard. The shipping costs are increasing but all it takes is a few people to leave low D

Dear MOPO Members -- I often get questions like this from newbie buyers. Does anyone have a webpage or a stock answer they use when asked questions like these? Any help would be appreciated. Maybe Learn About Movie Posters has an "answer" page for these that would be informative. Thanks, Ch

Today, here in Austin, I was shown an RKO Exhibitors Promotional Book which was in quite nice shape. It was superior in some ways to the identical book that was auctioned by Heritage for $2300. The entire spine was in good shape and it was presented in the original box. The owner wishes to sell
