I have always been impatient (born 2 months early; got tired of waiting). I just couldn't wait unitl the 22nd. for the Big Party 

Actually, it's rather sad. All those years of hard work down the drain.    I ended 449 items. I still had over 2300 to list but couldn't find the time, what with all the glitchments to keep repairing.

I was very polite with my exiting survey:

Why I wanted a Store? - duhh! to make a living

Why are you closing? - I can't sell it if no one can see it.

What other sites...? - None of your business. You should worry about your own backyard ....

Problem areas...? - entered exact title of an $999 auction item into search and it never appeared in search results. Had to relist again (more fees ... hmmm!) because it did not sell.  I found there was not enough space to answer this question properly  ;D

other comments? - Corporate greed isn't pretty

... you get the idea 

Oh, well! End of pitty party. Onward and Upward    I need to finish my website so I can send invites to all my saved customer (2300+) email addresses!!

Heyyy, Ms Molly....

You'll get no pity here!  Only congratulations and the sincerest best wishes and support for taking a step beyond the shackles of a merciless corporate thug!

KUDOS! 

BTW... I find the fact that they're having users do a survey when closing their store to be somewhat telling... we closed BEFORE the fee hike and didn't do a survey... nor was asked to, that I recall.

Cheers

Congratulations, Molly! Leaving Ebay is the smartest thing anyone can do, IMO.

They are asshats and don't deserve us.

Hey--they didn't give me an exit interview when I closed my store. Wonder why?

That's probably cause you don't look like a sweet, kindly, gullable, little old lady! 

I'm actually just as sexy as you but travel incognito due to the large crowds I attract!  :yeahright2:

Okay, Okay! So I'm over celebrating!    Tomorrow will be one of those days 

I did go to the Stores Board to be counted in the "how many have you closed" post. Saw a quote I liked -I'm Now Fee Free!! 

Molly, you are a riot, girl!

LOL!!!!!!!

The time required to list on eBay due to its constant site and policy changes (and glitches) was always one of my biggest complaints.  I don't need to waste time constantly revising templates, listings, etc. on Amazon, Overstock, or our websites like I was forced to do on eBay every time they made a change.

We had a survey when we closed in May.  Chris T still has a job so they obviously didn't listen to our suggestion on how to improve stores.

Once you finish your website you won't have to deal with englitchments.  You'll be able to use the bulk lister on OSCMax to upload those 449 items very quickly.

And I had such high hopes they were taking notes; taking every word to heart!  ^-^
