I have been following you for a long time and one of the first products I bought was Powerseller Challenge, fantastic. Since then I have bought Resell Rights Bluprint again a fantastic product. Keep up the good work, I can’t wait to see the new version.
Hope you get settled in your new home quickly.
All the best
Peter

You stated in this post, you hardly ever talk about ebay on your Mentorship Monthly site, yet the site is like 95% about ebay.

I don’t mean to be rude, just frustrating when you sign-up for a membership expecting one thing and find it is exactly the opposite from what was stated.

If people want ebay info, and you want to provide it, more power to every one, not a problem. Just don’t say it’s not in there when it is..:(

I am a recent addition to your blog list and I have also recently purchased Resale Righs Blueprint. I cannot believe the amunt of valuable content within your product.

I guess like all of your other readers I am eagerly awaiting for you to reopen your eBay Store! I wish you all the best and congrats on your new home.

I was wondering if you or someone else could help me. I have been an eBay member in good standing since 1998 and am a Power Seller. (I have sold many “90 Day Power Seller Challenges” in a package called eBay Extreme 5.0. I would always follow up and tell my customers to be sure to update and read it; that it indeed help me to become a Power Seller.

Once the digital ban went into effect, I immediately put my store on vacation settings while I started to convert my digital products over to CD’s. I ran a few listings with CD’s which sold quite well.

Then one day out of the blue I received an email from eBay advising me that I have been suspended for 30 days due to feedback manipulation. They took away over 400 feedbacks. I have tried to communicate with customer service several times but just keep getting the same canned response. They told me that I could appeal after 30 days which sounds to me like if my appeal is not approved, I may be banned for life. I am not allowed to even log on to eBay.

I am totally baffled by this entire episode. I did sell several lower priced eBooks, (nothing lower than .99) in order to drive business to my store. .99 was the going rate for these eBooks as well. I by no means tried to artificially increase my feedback by selling the lower priced eBooks. What would be my motivation for doing so? Before I was suspended I noticed that many were still selling digital downloads. Therefore I don’t know why I was singled out since I was following the rules.

The bottom line is that I have over 400 violations that I feel are totally unjustified. Why would eBay allow me to sell .99 items, then punish me retroactively for the feedback that I received? All my feedback was hard earned. I personally followed up on every sale to make sure the customer received the item. I always helped digitally challenged customers who had problems downloading and unzipping files. Also, I never solicited feedback from my customers. I had over 1500 100% positive. My lowest DSR was 4.8, the rest being 4.9’s.

I would appreciate any advice as to how I can best handle this situation and get reinstated. Again, I am totally innocent of these charges. This whole thing has me very upset and depressed considering the amount of work I put into my eBay business.

Thanks in advance,

Bob

All that ebay fiasco was just a good test to see who can adapt. We all need to remembers that winners are the one that can adapt to changes. To be honest, ebay is just a small piece of the puzzle in making money on the internet, the good thing about it is that is has tons of traffic, targeted traffic. In a sense its cheaper to be on ebay than to use PPC. One article you might want to do is ” Could most of your survive the internet scene without ebay ” thats when you’ll see whos diversifying.

My CD’s on eBay are flying off of the shelves! If you are considering doing it, just know that it can be done – at a nice profit. It is a matter of producing and delivering at minimal cost.

See my eBay store:

I am looking in to outsourcing some of this work, does anyone have any first-hand experience with any CD duplication, or production and delivery companies?

Thanks,
Ken Soszka

very interesting hope you get your Ebay business back on track, several Ebay powersellers semm to be starting their own websites after some time at Ebay attracting its loyal costumers with them out of Ebay. I guess ebay will soon make something about it (?) Hope no.

It was several years ago since I first had contact with you and your eBay business, but do appreciate your products and advice I have learned from you over that time. Thanks for providing value in your advice you give so openly.

Wish you all the best in your endeavors and keep on keeping on!

I bet you are glad and relieved that the move is over and all the stress and hard work is over. I hope you and your family will be happy in your new home.

Now you have more hard work in front of you, and I can’t wait to see the results, also being a member of your ninetyday powerseller challenge package.

I couldn’t agree with you more about not relying on eBay, and the recent policy change should prove this to everyone. I have too mentioned this on my blog.

There are so many different options out there, we just need to go out and investigate and research them. I am in the process of doing this as a part of my research for my first eBook.

Keep up the good work and all the best.

Marc Sampson.

I look forward to the updated webcopy and stuff for the clickbank affiliate program attached to the e-shop – glad your not throwing in the towel!

I haven’t been able to use my outlook express as an autoresponder for a while anyway – as hotmail stopped the free use of mail collection that way (unless your willing to pay for it, no thanks, it weren’t that good!) and I mean, heck there’s more to marketing than autoresponders and digital auctions, I’ll check out some of your other sites, see what your are offering :)
