I've been selling on ebay since 1998 and using Venio since it's early days when it was AuctionWatch. I'm supporting the eBay boycott, and in fact I am taking the week to carefully consider whether I should continue in the environment the new eBay will foster. If I close my ebay sales, it will also hurt Vendio, so I am asking Vendio to help us fight the changes that eBay is implementing.
The new eBay reminds me of the old joke about "roo roo or death?" I'm getting roo rooed to death!

Or at least Vendio can let us know if they will support some of the other sites.
I'm with you - Vendio need to get on the band wagon.

but it looks like Vendio is uninterested.
Here's what I emailed them:
I'm supporting the seller boycott of ebay the week of February 18th. In fact, I'm going to use that week to assess whether it will be worth it to continue to sell on eBay. If I stop selling, it will also hurt Vendio. I've been with you since the days of AuctionWatch. What is Vendio doing to sway eBay to drop their insane idea that sellerscan leave only good feedback for buyers?
and here's the reply from Vendio:
Unfortunately, Vendio does not have any control over the recent decisions that eBay has made. We are not able to provide you with the assistance you need. Please visit eBay's customer service form: http://pages.ebay.com/help/basics/select-support.html Please provide a detailed explanation of the problem, and they will be better able to assist you. Sincerely, NathanVendio Customer Service

Sad thing is Nathan it right. From a Vendio perspective, they are as stuck as the rest of you. They depend 100% on ebay, but yet have no say on what eBay does.
I do agree with the early posters. Vendio should look into expanding to other venues.

I asked Vendio which other site they plan to support and they asked me which I wanted. Feel free to go to Vendio Service board and add your wish list to mine.

One would think, though, that somebody high up at Vendio could pick up the phone and call someone high up at ebay and tell them "Vendio represent XXX number of ebayer sellers and we are upset about this feedback idea."

They locked the thread about other venues we wish Vendio would support, wonder why? I would have liked to add UBid.

If VENDIO were SMART, then, obviously, NOW is the time to really get on the ball and improve...VENDIO STORES!
First, VD has to make its STORES competitive with e-Crater and BuyitSellit and all the other FREE stores out there in the ether!
I don't mind spending $4.95/month for a VENDIO STORE, but the IMAGE HOSTING requirement is a real turn-off as I have IMAGE HOSTING falling out Ralphie's butt, and I see this as just plain nickle&diming us to a figurative death!
Also, if VD made SEO easy, they would truly jump out way ahead of the pack!
NOW IS THE TIME, VENDIO! GET OFF YER COLLECTIVE TUSHIES & GET ON THE BALL!!

I just found this on Vendio, it seems as if they are supporting a lot more eBay sites.

pmelcher - I wonder why as well. I don't think it was anything negative against Vendio and the original answer requested that I name some other site??? What up with that???
