I'm taking the month of February to make the decision but I'm seriously leaning toward closing my store. I have thought about it a few times in the past for various reasons but I just feel like it's not worth it anymore. I get a discount for being with them all these years that I will lose but even with that discount, I feel like it's not worth bothering with any longer.
Simply, ebay is taking too much. For another, my sales are almost non existent but could partly be my fault as I have lost a great deal of motivation to even list things anymore. In fact, I downright dread it!
To be honest, the final nail in the ebay coffin is how hard it is come tax time. They KEEP CHANGING THINGS!!!!! They aren't even sending me a 1099K because I'm under the limit so I have been searching all over for a way to see my yearly sales. It's ridiculous the way they hide things! It shouldn't be like this!!!
I can always sell here in the classifieds and stay under the tax radar which will be a great BONUS! That's another thing, I'm SO SICK of the way our government is, it sickens me to send them ANY TAX DOLLARS! (that is a whole other rant!!)
There are other ways of selling too. Craigslist is a PITA but I could use it to sell large items. Perhaps I can find other forums similar to ours that offers classifieds. That is actually how I started out! I used to sell on team Chevelle and some other sites. Those were the days!!!! NO TAXES!!! Most paid by check but even if not, the government didn't find the way to make sellers pay up back then.
Well, I have a lot of thinking to do....
