		<description>Yea I hear ya 67 and 68. Im just saying, I see everywhere &quot;man that company is the biggest on ebay&quot;.

One thing is they live by pennies. We ordered from them several times to see what they are doing. They use the CHEAPEST packing supplies, free labels from fedex, literally no packaging material ...and batteries and headsets and silicon skins made from the cheapest materials overseas.

Also think about the frustration they have when ebay makes a fee change.
Again, when they sell a $5.00 wired headset with free shipping that charges are

.60 cents to list, 80 cents FAV, $1.25 to ship, $50 cent actual cost, labor etc. When ebay increases FAV by 20-30% they sweat bullets.

Anyways i wont ramble, im just saying. They have their thing down (and im sure making alot of money) because they mandate direct import cost with their factories over seas. Also imagine having a database for email ads of 3-4 million customers (b/c 1 million feedbacks only means about 1/4 actually leave feedback) and they can drive that to their website and circumvent ebay fees.

Just my 2 cents. I prefer to sell less a day and make larger profits $20-35/piece so when ebay makes a fee adjustment im not having to cancel items that dont fit the profit margin or worry about fees with a 20% success ratio like theirs.

I bet their fees are in excess of 60-85K (maybe more?) per month.

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;#66 I think youâ€™ve hit the universal truth, feedback doesnâ€™t pay the bills&lt;/strong&gt;

Not necessarily.  Other than for myself feedback also pays the bills for companies like Toolhaus, RatePoint, and FeeFo.</description>

		<description>It is good, but it doesnt really measure their business.

Upon doing a hammertap on their user name, accstation is doing about $600,000/month.

Their success ratio is 25%. Imagine how many tens of thousands of dollars th ey lose every month to unsuccessful auctions.

Now take our user name. We are doing 350,000/month but only receiving 2500 feedback/month. But our margins are much higher than accstation, where they are making pennies or a $1 an item where we can sell a V3 and make $35 with a 85% success ratio.

So while they have achieved 1 million feedbacks, it doesnt mean they are the biggest ebay company, the most profitable or largest seller on ebay gross profit wise.

Only means. ...they have the most feedbacks.

On another note, accstation and eforcity are the same company lol. They use seperate user names to achieve more search results as ebay&#039;s search algorithm does designate a certain amount of hits per user name. I think they have 3-4 user names actually. Check it out. Their websites, products and templates are all the same.

Congrats to them for sure though! That warehouse has to be pumping out at least 1-2K items per day!!!!</description>

		<description>#57 Used too get verbal threats selling jewellery. Because items were late. Usually from the chav type heavy gold items etc.

To be honest the easiest buyer too get on with that i have found are the craft people. But even the craft buyer is morphing/changing into a different buyer with ebays changes.</description>
