I got this message from ebay

Yesterday I got this message:

I would like to invite you to join eBay Expression, a panel of sellers who share feedback on potential changes to the eBay experience, through surveys, small-group discussions, and one-on-one calls. If you join, your input could influence eBay design and functionality used by millions of people.
======================================================
Has anyone joined and given them a scathing review and then all of a sudden your sales dropped? I think if I joined and told them what I really think of them they would take retribution.

I have no problem with the 10% sellers fee but it is all the dumb rules that sellers have to follow so we don't offend the buyer. I am still ticked off that we can not leave a negative review for a buyer. (and that was a long time ago)

You can leave a negative review for a buyer but you have to leave it as a positive feedback. Them making it to where you can't leave a negative for a buyer was dumb. That and their ridiculous fees, charging tax now and profiting off shipping charges did it for me.

There have been a couple of times where I left a snarky "positive" review.

The charging tax thing is actually the state doing a money grab and not ebay. They are forced into that (so id etsy, facebook marketplace and I am sure many others)

I always add any anticipated fees into my sell price. The customer pays for eBay's greediness not me.
