Same old discussions about low sales for months now. Been here since 1998 full time seller since 2007 with multiple sellers account. Average $800-2k per day for 10+ years and since June sales have tanked across all the stores 80%. Yesterday was a record low with a $3.50 sale. Website sales are growing, Amazon sales are growing but eBay? It's just a stupid circus at this point. Our sales tanked after we signed up for the payment system, sales went to zero instantly. After months of fighting with them they finally let us get out of it but in the process they broke all our stores, customers couldn't check out, glitch after glitch dashboard completely messed up, not even getting sales emails nothing works. This site is completely worthless and a waste of time. All to deal with the worse scammers buyers while eBay takes 10-12% profit and what do we get at the end of it? $3 sale.
It's created so much stress for us running multiple stores that are not making any money we have finally come to the decision after 22 years that it's time to close all our eBay accounts and move on. Will never buy or sell anything on eBay, it's been too painful and I'm sick and tired or making their executives money and pay for their jet-set lifestyle. They have the Chinese sellers for that. Thanks for nothing eBay hope to see you go down in flame in the near future. Unlike eBay, at least the Titanic went down with the lights on.

So EBay continues to prosper & increase revenue.
EBay does appear to be doing things right for eBay.
But there does certainly exist manny much needed improvements.
eBay shills gonna shill.

This is part of the problem. Folks think they need to have multiple stores with lots of listings to have ebay shower them with sales. It is the opposite. Why not condense your listings thus improving your sell through ratio then ebay will give you visibility. Not everyone can be on the front pages. I too have been here since Feb 1998 with rarely more than 50 items listed at any one time. I have paid off my home and now I am retired. Folks need to remember that there are ALOT of other places to sell. Ebay was once THE place but as the competition increases it only makes sense that the sales will decrease. The site is clogged and that is not an ebay glitch. That is the sellers fault.
