DISCUSSIONS should be an exhange of ideas, but not on eBay.  The Discussions are a place for Sellers to Bully, Intimidate, Call Names, Take out of context and print small portions of  your post and take your words out of context and antagonize and incite sellers to be afraid.  There are so many COWARDS who get a new identity just to trash a buyer, call them names and always the blocked bidder list.

Sellers, you wonder why Ebay is losing buyers look no further than the way buyers are treated on discussions and Blogs. It is more like a witch hunt than a discussion. It is like the bullies on the playground who attack the weaker members. Those who say nothing and allow this frenzy on buyers are no better than the Cowards who hide behind a zero or purchase thousands of dollars of Disney pins in a month and say they are not a seller. Yet, they make fun of any buyer telling them to go to Walmart or to grow up and attack them personally with names such as Moron and Idiot which are offensive and politically incorrect and not one word is said. There is a conspiracy of silence.

I know of no other retail establishment who attacks buyers so vehemently and is so outraged that the sellers will not be able to give a Negative.

I would like to see more discussions on how to retain customers and how to treat customers in discussions and blogs. I would like some Sellers to stand up and be counted in the future and not be intimidated by these bullies. A Community of Bullies and Snots and Rude Beligerant Snips who spread propganda and fear and chase buyers away is a Community of Thugs. No one in their right mind wants to buy from Thugs and Bullies.

Sellers do not have any item that is so valuable or so necessary that a buyer will look at these discussions and blogs and NOT run for the HILLS. You are Advertising yourself in the blogs and discussions. You want to spread your dirty laundry out for the buying public to see than that is your perogative. When buyers do not like what they see, then you lose a potential new buyer and that hurts every seller on eBay.

Sellers who think the customer comes first need to get the word out there because you look like a Community that is disfinctional at best and truth be told.......a very nasty meanspirited cowardly bunch of Bullies who are better suited for the playground than a legitimate place of Business. You need to step up to the plate and let the Better Side of Ebay be exhibited because the anti-buyer, hateful antics of the minority will sour your bottomline as well.
