Casual Articles - Ebay - a Godsend or the Devil?
As a branding expert, companies often come to me asking, what can I do to increase my firm’s name recognition? Of course, increasing name recognition is only one aspect of the branding puzzle, but an important one. It is particularly perplexing to a company well known in a certain market, (perhaps where the company originated), but disappointed at the lack of carry over in name recognition upon ente
Right now I’m waiting to hear from my credit card company, to see if they had any better success than me. Somehow I doubt they will. It seems once Ebay gets its teeth into you, there’s no letting go. I always thought they had so many members because of their great service. Ha! Now I know. It’s because they won’t let you out of their clutches.
But what did I expect of a business where you can put one silicone breast implant up for sale?

How did I become an Ebay hater? Simple. I tried to sell a diamond ring on their site. I signed up for a one time deal. I believe it was for a month and I was led to believe that if the ring didn’t sell after a month, that was it, no more obligation to me.
Somehow I also got duped into listing the ring in two categories, not just for a diamond. I believe it was their suggestion that I could sell it more easily and quickly if I listed it in another category. So I did. I also paid the extra money for the extra listing.
Imagine my surprise when a month later they started billing me for $16.00 per month. For what? The ring didn’t sell. I had already paid them their upfront fees.
Have you ever tried contacting Ebay to complain about their service? I found this to be impossible. Each time I tried to close my Ebay account I would receive an email on how to delete my PayPal account. Say what? I want my PayPal account, I need my PayPal account. What I don’t want is an Ebay account.
I emailed Ebay many times during the course of about six weeks. I would never get a personal response to my problem, just the usual how to delete my PayPal account.
I finally contacted my credit card company, explained the problem to them and they put the gears in motion to get me divorced from them! The credit card company did give me the telephone number to contact Ebay in the meantime. Finally, success! I will be able to speak to a real live person and explain the dilemma and get extricated from this whole mess.
So I called the phone number for Ebay that my credit card company gave me. Tremulously, I waited on the line as the phone rang. At last a human voice! Actually a human voice recording!! The voice gave me a lot of options on who to contact to resolve my problem. Unfortunately, every option involved logging on to the worldwide web and…you guessed it…contacting them by email!
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I may be a lot of things but one thing I am not, is insane so I wasn’t going to try to contact them by email again.

After all, the most common reason for people to start their own businesses is to allow them to take control of their lives and find a better work-life balance.How much Much is your Your Time Worth?Let's say you want to earn ?30,000 / $50,000 per year from your business.

Every type of business must concentrate on good customer service and the small-business person knows that whatever line of work they are in that if they do not give good customer service then perhaps the competition will. For those businesses giving customer service is paramount, as those customers will eventually migrate over to the competition and cease being customers if the service is lousy.. Say what? I want my PayPal account, I need my PayPal account. What I don’t want is an Ebay account.

Whistleblowing as we know it is not a development of the late 20th century. The council of the city-state of Venice instituted a form of whistleblowing to help fight corruption and to give citizens a more meaningful voice in their government.Employees or franchisees do come across acts of dishonesty, fraud, corruption, theft, and transactions in prohibited goods, violence, and damage to prope

Perhaps one day I’ll find Noah’s Ark or Al Capone’s treasure. But you can be sure of one thing. I won’t put it for sale on Ebay. I can’t afford the $16.00 monthly fee!
