Ebay unfortunately scams a seller, fraud stock deserves to drop

First off, a few months ago I had over 90 positive feedback with 100% satisfaction on ebay. This was earned over years of transactions. Unfortunately ebay recently made some changes that really hurt my business in several

ways. Including my business reputation, pocket book and lots of wasted time.

I have been selling on ebay for years, however I began selling web site hosting services on ebay quickly within one month racked up over $400 promoting my products and business. I was offering a discounted auction to give

ebay users a great start up rate on web site hosting. I was offering them an introductory rate of $.01 or $1 for a few 1 - 3 free months of services.

I soon found out that other ebay users were buying my auctions and not signing up for hosting services, therefore costing me a large amount of money. I later complaned about this (see below).

After some research I found out why I was getting a lot of people buying my auctions and not signing up for my services. Turns out that ebay created a search function that gives ebay users better rankings if they have higher

feedback rankings. Additionally ebay implemented a feature that requires a certain amount of feedback for users to be able to sell on ebay . So in essence what was happening was people were bidding on my auctions that I

paid ebay for, sending me (often times) one penny and then requesting positive feedback. This had me outraged because it was costing me large amounts of money to list these auctions and costing a lot of money on

marketing. Then a lot of my auctions were being taken down by fake bidders.

Another thing that ebay did was remove ANY SELLERS ability to leave negative feedback about buyers that treat sellers poorly, which makes absolutely no sense because sellers are the only people that pay ebay . These

people that help make ebay succeed in the stock market are the ones getting treated terrible and not being able to protect themselves from buyers abusing their system.

Fake bidders kept requesting I leave them positive feedback after sending them a penny. I wanted to leave them negative feedback, however since ebay removed this function, I was being held hostage by all bidders to leave

them positive feedback because they are the only ones that can hurt my credibility by leaving me negative feedback. If I didn't leave them feedback and they sent me money, they had the right to leave me negative feedback.

On 9/4 I sent an email telling ebay the following: (exact message below) I have several hundred listings for hosting online. The reason I listed all of these online was because I thought since people were bidding they were

going to sign up for the service I was offering. So a few hundred dollars later, it turns out 3 out of 4 people are bidding on my items just to hold me hostage for positive feedback. This is terrible and expensive. How can this be

resolved?
