Sellers are no longer capable of leave neutral or negative feedback on buyers accounts
Pressure in Australia, the UK now the US to get Paypal as the only digital payment system on the
webpage.
Higher volume retailers get discounts and also added benefits for staying with the site
EBooks along with other non-physical items cannot be auctioned
Other part-time sellers have also commented on a spotty customer support record and propensity to
