New Ebay Changes. Thoughts??

As a seller on ebay your list is always my goal. I have done well with ebay over the years and have found I can process less and put enough in my pocket to be happy.

One thing that I do consistently for my listing is the "buy now" and USPS Expedited shipping. Why Expedited shipping because much of what I sell is over one pound which makes USPS First Class package unavailable.

I use the eBay Global Shipping service because once the package is in their hands I am no longer responsible. I understand even negative feedback won't stick to you. I am guessing 5% of my sales are international and since the ebay center I ship to is close enough to use the USPS Priority Regional A and B boxes and save on shipping.

In other words: I need the seller to do his job so i can do my job.

As a buyer this is what i'm looking for: ( In no particular order. )



1: Price

2: Fast shipping

3: Free -or- low cost shipping

4: " Buy it now" I don't want to waste hours or days with with a silly bidding process that might / might not get the job done.

5: I'm looking for seller integrity. If they're well rated with lots of successful transactions it gives me the impression that i'm dealing with a pro. If they're new ....there's always that question in my mind .... Is this guy solid ? Am i going to run into problems here ? The last thing i want is to have to waste time doing a return.

Pair a good seller with a good buyer and there's a minimum of fuss ? Everybody gets what they want ? It's a win/win ?

==================

Another possibility for the sellers here might be Amazon ? The prices are higher there so there's more profit potential ? I know a lot of people that only buy on Amazon because they're sold on the whole Amazon Prime thing.
