Ebay started using not so nice tactics to cash on the number of sales by automatically enabling the "Make offer" option, no matter if disabled by the seller, at every posting renewal at ridiculous prices, often half or less than half the initial price, so if I have say 20 items for sale at already a very convenient price, they will renew with the make offer option enabled (regardless if I explicitly disabled it) at half or less that price which of course mean I'll receive loads of offers at prices that sometimes won't ever cover the shipping. I can understand their motives: more sales = more sales fees, but that's not fair at all. As of today I haven't found a way to keep the option disabled and have to get online in time at every renewal and disable the option on all items, or refuse all offers and politely contact the users explaining the reason.

This makes me angry; although I have been an extremely happy Ebay user for over a decade, we badly need other options because the lack of competition is giving them too much power. Admittedly however, Ebay works well enough so far, which is why it would be really hard to compete against them.
