eBay/PayPal Boycott April 1st for 21 days

[fitzm]

The 21 day time period is in response to their fairly recent 21 day policy of holding your money hostage AFTER successfully completed transaction(s) and positive feedback given. Facebook as many friends as you can.

April 1st.

Ok. Wait. No.

 

[SillyOReilly]

Ebay and PP will continue to putter along just fine.

 

[Sluggo]

Don't buy gas either, that'll show those greedy bastages.

 

[spacelord]

How about a forever boycott.

 

[Beev]

Haven't used either in at least five years. They're both horrible, shit companies.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Yet more proof that the stock market is whats wrong with this country. Pleasing stockholders becomes more important than anything else.

 

[rh71]

is this just ebay transactions? What if someone paypals you money otherwise - is there a hold? Site isn't currently loading for me.

Done! I just gave my car away. Now, where the hell did I put my bike...

What are you'all using as alternative?

 

[Beev]

What are you'all using as alternative?

Amazon, primarily. ebay has it's place in selling old, unique items, but I don't need any old, unique items.

Etsy is also great for some things.

 

[Aharami]

not too hard for me. last time I bought/sold something on ebay was years ago

 

[fitzm]

What are you'all using as alternative?

Nothing. Just live of your current possessions, you can do eet.

I dont really use Ebay much anymore but to browse....but I do use Paypal as it is pretty convenient, but as they implement more rules that piss people off less people will use it. The great thing about the internet is someone can always start up a new fad..now if FB would go away.

Amazon prime is the shiz for me. They kiss your ass completely. I had no clue eblow's policy changed to 21 day hold for periodic, low volume users. I've literally used them twice in 10 years as a seller. Just got some antiques for helping buddy clear basement out. Also thought their fees were closer to 5% still-more like 10 now. They've got almost $450 of mine sitting in PayPal. Transactions completed successfully and perfect feedback. The 21 day thing is simply reference to their policy. I'm done forever when PayPal releases $.

paypal sucks. i hate having my money on hold when someone can completely trash what i sold them and i'm left out in the rain.

but, no other place to go as of now.

Google and Amazon are alternatives to Paypal.

I can guarantee I won't be using either service for the next 21 days. I stopped using both about a year ago.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

I've used Paypal less than 10 times, the last time being over two years ago, and I've never used eBay... I was boycotting them before it was cool.

In any other forum I would say word of mouth is futile. No one ever follows through with boycott's. However, effbook's virus spread like fire-still is. Who cares if it ironic to use one giant to slow another. Imagine if this shit works for even a day. We started it. Eff ePrey and PreyPal.

And everyone jump up at the same time @ 12:00PM! This way we can knock the earth into the sun!

 

[fitzm]

I just want to feel a sting even if only for a second. Everyone hates corporations for millions of reasons. How many corporate fanboy's can ePrey have on effbook? If a few thousand take notice on there someone from either company will see it also. That's all it takes.

 

[fitzm]

30 minutes to go, I'm in. Every fat ass in America would have to jump pretty hard though :>.

And everyone jump up at the same time @ 12:00PM! This way we can knock the earth into the sun!

That's like a dust ball bouncing off an elephant, it ain't gonna do shit!
