Links Policy: eBay’s own goal

September 24, 2008

With all the brouhaha regarding off site links both in the UK and the US you might expect eBay to be a pretty safe place to trade. Buyers shouldn’t be directed to sellers own websites but that’s not the case when it’s eBay themselves.

A new seller profile on Jack Sheng (who has two eBay accounts with 1 million feedback and another about to reach the million mark) links directly to his websites.

Why not link to his eBay shops? Why link directly to his websites eforcity, everydaysource and accstation?

Buyers going to marvel at his 1 million feedback are simply getting redirected to off eBay websites. The eBay ID’s are eforcity, everydaysource and accstation. Mind you I don’t suppose Jack is complaining about a few extra sales with no eBay fees to pay!

Come on eBay, get your house in order and change the links Jack’s eBay stores.

Two eBay sellers achieve one million feedback

August 29, 2008

It’s time eBay invented a new colour shooting star, because this month two sellers have reached one million positive feedback on eBay.

On the 26th August everydaysource gained their millionth feedback, and hot on their heels on the 27th accstation followed them through the one million barrier.

The top feedback star currently awarded is at 100,000 feedback, which just 400 sellers worldwide have achieved. The highest feedback for a UK seller is gowingstore with 486,639, which places them 9th in the worldwide rankings.

For the two companies who have one million feedback it’s an epic achievement and one worthy of recognition. Congratulations to both of them.
