Price Wars on eBay Spell Disaster and Demise of Small Sellers http://basicstobusiness.com/its-official-price-wars-on-ebay-spell-disaster-and-demise-of-small-sellers/ Objective, Informative Independent Ecommerce News Fri, 25 Jun 2010 16:24:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Henrietta http://basicstobusiness.com/its-official-price-wars-on-ebay-spell-disaster-and-demise-of-small-sellers/comment-page-1/#comment-59 Henrietta Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:16:05 +0000 http://ebayandbeyond.wordpress.com/?p=192#comment-59 When I pay an insertion fee I am paying for visibility. If my insertion fee does not get my item visibility it is not a sound business decision to continue throwing good money after bad. I do not understand this focus on cheap with no reference to quality. A poorly made or knockoff item will not surprise and delight a buyer when it does not match their anticipations. Aiming for the lowest common denominator always results in degradation. Who wants to wallow in the dirt? Not me. When I pay an insertion fee I am paying for visibility.

I could not compete there because I was a small Seller. I did not have anything that was massed produced. I had individual unique items. I tried but items did not show up in search. So they had so many complaints. They started a program for you to buy Advertising for your Store. So that it could be seen. Somehow that does not sit right with me, and does not work for me.
