NO MORE FREE SHIPPING: Charge for it. Whatever it is, CHARGE FOR IT!

OK so given the FACT that the new policies will drive 99% of existing TRS holders out of those ranks, if not existance, I am proposing we all take up the following "8/24 Seller Strategy":

There is NO reason why you should still have settings designed for the TRS discount when you won't benefit from it.

1) Opt to go with a 3 Day Handling setting (relieves the stress and throws their 'shipping / delivery date calcs' into a frenzy.)

2) NO MORE FREE SHIPPING: Charge for it. Whatever it is, CHARGE FOR IT!

3) RAISE YOUR PRICES - Calculate your new FVF to INCLUDE the 20% TRS FVF loss and the added FVF cost of the shipping and adjust your prices UPWARDS. (Sure eBay gets a few more kopeks BUT the BUYER is covering that resulting is SITE WIDE price increases to ALL buyers.).

4) With the above strategy the Search Rank engine will get "Binary Diarrhea" rendering it useless and ineffective as a 'marketing ploy' on their part.

5) Finally and as a fitting result, the eBay CEO, Burke and other high ups at the next Stockholders Meeting will play THIS as a Prelude to the Annual Report:

Ebay will do nothing, they don't care....... they are so out of touch.
They can't deliver buyers like they did 2 years ago anyway.....

Yes : No more subsidized Ebay listings ( FVF+ Ship is included) already done that.
~3 day handling.......without actually doing it. ( still ship in 1 day)
Thinking about adding restock fees to cover FVF fees on refunds.

Also this :
" Hello Ebay shopper :   FVF fees are already included in all our prices here on ebay. "

Once shoppers start using google : the 3P selling venue model is dead..

"The floggings will continue until morale improves......"

Name a company that kills it's veteran clients off, the ones who pay them ~$10K a  year in fees.....for 10+ years.
