2-3 sales per month? You're a businessman !

[chrult2]

Today, an eBay specialist wrote to me. They're suggesting upgrading to a Business account "because you make frequent sales." Frequent sales, 2-3 per month. So, eBay first offers tools for frequent sales, and then punishes you for it? Is this what eBay's friendly community is all about?

It's clear how a friendly commune works. A typical reply from a robot named Samantha, instead of any thoughtful analysis. You really understand and see that I'm not in the sales business. Apparently, it's easier to be a janitor and enjoy your anonymous power.

Hello, I'd like to explain the situation again, as respected samantha@ebay  isn't responding. I post some used personal items and remnants of a former hobby (modeling railroads and cities) on my page. The scraps were posted about 6 years ago and haven't changed. There's no replenishment ! They're mostly outdated and no longer in production. I sell 2-3 items per month at best, averaging 35-40 euros per month in revenue. The total volume of this is equivalent to 2 banana boxes. Previous eBay specialists concluded that I'm a Private Seller. I don't meet any of the criteria for becoming a Business Seller. Lately, the only items I've been adding to the site are an old women's coat, my granddaughter's sneakers, etc. I'd also like to say that I've been a responsible eBay seller for 10 years. Please make the right decision.

I'd like to reiterate: these are the remnants of a railway layout that I've been selling for six years now.

No one really buys them. They're outdated and no longer in production.

They're not being replenished.

All the remnants fit into two (2) banana boxes !!!

Es geht darum, was du in einem Jahr verkauft hattest, @chrult2  und wie regelmäßig du verkaufst.

Die liebe samantha@ebay kann und mag dir das bestimmt näher erläutern.

If you casually analyze my items, you'll realize they're leftovers from a former hobby (a model railroad).

You should also notice that these leftovers aren't being replenished !

Some of them are outdated and haven't been produced for a long time.

Ebay specialists have analyzed my page and sales (35 euros per month) several times and concluded that I have a Private Account.

But every year it starts all over again, even though nothing changes.

Actually, no... I added an old women's coat and some sneakers.

Du bietest fast nur Neuware an und die stammt sicher nicht aus deinem Haushalt. Dein "Sortiment" erscheint nicht als verkaufst du privat.

Wenn ebay dich auffordert dein Konto umzustellen dann wirst du so nicht mehr lange verkaufen können / dürfen wenn du das nicht machst.

Dabei spielt es nicht nur eine Rolle wieviel man tatsächlich verkauft sondern auch auf das Angebot kommt es an.
