Are we talking about letting the board die, or eBay Motors overall?
How about you both explain in cognizant terms your complaints? I know from reading the boards one or two of the motor sellers have brought up issues with the search and compatibility selector, but yes, there needs to be more participation by motor sellers if they want a "community".
What else?
Sales are slow everywhere, not just motors. We have many more choices now where to purchase or sell items. I recently sold 2 vehicles locally on MP. I did not have that choice 10 years ago.
Microsoft just updated my browser this morning, and now shows me the lowest price on the internet for an item...🤔

please clarify when you say " you both" , who are you addressing?
"please let ebay motors die in peace. It's not really worth keeping it alive"
eBay Motors is all that eBay is pushing. I hear ads for Motors constantly on the radio, & have for more than a year. When I had cable TV I saw commercials for Motors all the time. eBay has said Motors is seeing big growth.
I sell primarily on Motors, sales have been fine for years. I was up around 80% first quarter 2024 compared to first quarter 2023. Yes, Motors search is beyond bad, it is truly abysmal, and has been for a decade or more. The search has driven away (no pun intended) many potential buyers.
'if you don't Sell on Motors, Buy on Motors, Search on Motors, etc. I respectfully say that you can't appreciate the statements made"
I didnt realize that was a requirement. I have sold on Motors, several times, so is it ok with you if I stay?

i meant no disrespect to you and never asked you to leave did I?
Glad you are here to discuss as it's usually a ghost town....
The Motors site... not this forum is the core of the OP....
The Motors site has undergone a significant decline in commerce for everyone involved IMHO.....
The Gauranteed Fits update wasn't well thought out and suffers from severe keyword spamming.... yes, we are all aware here that's a violation... reports go nowhere with eBay deciding no violations made....
So the Search is now severely corrupted by clever keyword spamming by bad Sellers and eBay'sown version of Payola....
the search is now as worse as ever and has frustrated many Sellers to come and post here.....
Did you ever have a eBay video inserted to any of your listings? The much overexposed video was forced into every listing and is nothing more than lip service as gauranteed fit doesn't gaurantee fit anymore....
many Sellers have come here in the past 12 months with the same frustration.... as usual three people posted....
if you think they are spending money on it while it's profitable.... sorry I don't see eBay ever doing that....
when sports cards were all about dead on eBay... then they finally did something
Yes it did. eBay didn't like the banter between users. Thought it was using up all the algorithms or something so they ran all the knowledgeable users out of here and shot themselves in the foot.

·2 years agoWhy would a member think he has the power to close an Ebay board and use that as title to his thread? Weird.

·2 years ago....looks like satire from one of the many members AND actual users of Motors that have tired of the poor performing site to me....
bonjourami
·2 years agoBecause a member has decided this is a 'poor performing site and should be closed' doesnt mean anybody agrees with him,especially Ebay.

·2 years agosorry... you're missing the point
i don't see where the word "closed" is accurate.... i see it more as "eBay please stop trying to prop this dead horse up and let it die"
if you don't Sell on Motors, Buy on Motors, Search on Motors, etc. I respectfully say that you can't appreciate the statements made
