Your thoughts on Ebays Group Breaking Policies

[nordy22]

What are you guys thoughts on this. It seems they are trying to slowly get rid of them as a whole. I mean what is the big deal, they make more money on these than people selling the cases/boxes individually. I feel team breaks should be fine and they should push for them. Has there been many claims by people that have been doing them or what is the reason, no one is making the clients bid on them......I know they just gave Boomo the full boot, not sure if its because of wrong doing or just there process of eliminating them...........THOUGHTS??????

Didn't he partly get the boot because he feels the need to message people with profanity-filled rants about their posting on blowout?

I know in the past when joining GBs breakers would eventually build their customer base from eBay and then stop selling spots there, perhaps that's part of the problem. And I'm sure there's a problem with claims, fair or unfair.

People keeps filing claims for not receiving anything or claiming the breaker is a scammer? So they want to get rid of the headache?

They may finally decide this is a kind of lottery?

I don't really have a problem with them, but it's always been ebay's policy not to sell virtual/lottery type of items. you never were allowed to do that. it's like gambling. I think the group breaks are pretty cool? maybe people should just operate & advertise them on they own page? get a website and run it like that with the video etc?

Alot of them had gotten around the rule by saying the auction was for a physical copy of the video break and the cards would be a bonus.

I have noticed the lack of group breaks as well though. My guess is people were bidding and then not paying or reversing the payment if they didn't get anything decent in the break.
