3 people??? I am a one man operation. I didn’t presume that you had a thousand employees. But 3 is quite a lot considering. You may be able to accurately dispute the term “getting rich”, but you are playing on words. You know that this change will increase the income of the company several times over. The exact numbers of course, only you have.
And I didn’t insult him. I simply asked him a question. That’s what the question mark at the end of the sentence means. And I am missing the part where you chastise him for saying “undoubtedly one of the senseless thing I ever read on this forum.” But of course since he’s one of yours, you’re ok with it. Just know this said and done. You have lost a customer with me over this. A VERY long term customer. I have been using GS almost since the beginning.
Keep in mind that you are speaking to someone who has helped your company get to the point it is now. Without people like me, your company wouldn’t have survived long enough to implement this considerable price increase. I have always paid for your software til now. What was the price of the software previously? I don’t remember. $25 or so? Even if it was $100 which I know it wasn’t, $15 per month is one hell of an increase.
Your price increase is nothing more than yet another squeeze on small sellers such as myself who are trying to figure out how to pay the rent EVERY month. I will bet you don’t have that problem. Perhaps you can dispute my overstated “rich” comment, and I shouldn’t have overstated that, giving you something to point at and say I’m wrong, but you guys are doing pretty well for yourselves.
Sellers are getting squeezed by ebay, amazon, the postal service, shipping supply retailers, etc. To say nothing about food and living expenses. A trip to mcdonald’s to buy a 2 course meal totals around $14 now. It was less than 8 years ago, it was $6 out the door. So if you expect us all to like this, you’re in dream land. As I said before, you guys did the math and figured out that even if people like myself abandon your software, you will still get a VERY considerable increase in funds after this.
Or you wouldn’t be doing it. Simple as that. As you see from other replies on here, I am not the only VERY unhappy customer. And just think that only a fraction of 1% of unhappy customers are going to get on here and complain about it. So this has upset A LOT of people! But of course when you KNOW this is going to increase money considerably, it doesn’t matter.
Kudos for FINALLY making it so your software TRULY syncs with ebay. That was something that I thought GS should have been doing very early on in the development of GS. I waited for MANY years for that feature. I gave up waiting and just started updating my listings on ebay rather than using GS. That was after tiring of updating it on ebay and then going to GS to update it too. And because of that, now when I go to restart my listings, I am going to have to closely examine every one in GS to make sure what needs to changed gets done.
In fact, I wouldn’t have even noticed this price increase at all if it weren’t for the fact that I am getting ready to restart my listings after my ebay account being down for literally 1 year as of 4 days ago. Oct. 26th was the 1 year anniversary of my near fatal motorcycle crash. And when I say near fatal, I am not by any means overstating it. I almost died twice in surgery.
Got a blood clot in my lungs, pneumonia and everything that goes with it. I have titanium bars from my upper arm to my elbow. From my knee to my ankle and the x-ray of my pelvis shows what looks like a spider web of titanium go through my pelvis from one side to the other. I spent a month in a coma followed by 8 months in rehab. I had to learn to walk again. For that matter, upon first awakening, I had to learn to even use my hands again. I couldn’t even turn on my iphone using the button at the bottom at first. Now, one year later, I can barely make it from the bed to the couch some days due to the pain.
Yet I still have restarted by business because I have to in order to survive. What I am telling you is WAY under stated. To tell it all would take a minimum of 10 paragraphs. So give all of that a try and then you can cry to me about having it rough.
