      Dev API access registration and appeal both declined without any note to why
                                                               

      Like the many other posters on here, my request and appeal were both automatically declined with any reason to why. My use case fell into the allowed circumstances and was entirely personal use. Can a moderator please elevate my inquiry to a real person to review instead of AI automation?

      AI descriptions are truly awful
                               

      AI descriptions are truly awful Bringing this back, since it really needs to be addressed by ebay. Great fuff filled details, nearly zero value to understand quality, details, true information about the item. Ebay, please correct this. "Accurate" descriptions are KEY to this market. 1 star to ebay, and 1 star to those who use it....without...their own description first Ebay, want to use AI....have AI scan the photos and question the seller, and add to the post...ie, "please commenton the discoloration or the scratches or there seems to be damage to xxx, can you comment."

      BEWARES FROM NEWBIES !!
                               

      Hey Seller community ! watch out for the buyers who just received one and only feedback by making a purchase from your store. They are here only to left you a negative feedback. Witnessing these type of buyers since start of 2025, hopefuly they are real and not the A I - B O T.

      Innacurate and missing listings ebay non-ethical business and searh practices.

      I don't want an explanation I want it fixed ebay employee words mean nothing, fixing the issue by taking action does.  Seach is not accurate, many listings don't show even with matching word, and your "AI" algorithm obviously coded by people with no business ethics shows many listing not containing the searched word. This is a new issue and was not a problem before changes to the algorithm started happening more and more c.2015 it has become worse and worse month by month, every upgrade is actually a severe downgrade, almost as if ebay wants their stock to go down by not providing the service people pay for. Search  Centaur you will have no option for any listings in the cycling section of sporting goods, search Campagnolo Centaur, Centaur (bike part name) and you have plenty of results, so if someone wants to see all of the listings at one time with the Centaur name that are bike parts it is no longer possible, Search 54cm in in the cycling section and view the myriad of listings that don't contain the searched text. THIS IS SLEAZY AND UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICE FIX IT TO SEARCH WHAT PEOPLE TYPE IN TO SEARCH, PERIOD, YOU DON"T HAVE A CLUE WHAT PEOPLE WANT OUTSIDE OF THEIR SEARCH, GET A CLUE AND STOP TRYING TO CONTROL THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT! The solution is simple, if someone searches a text show all of the listing with that text and let the person doing the search filter the results using the tools designed by people far far smarter than any current employee of ebay, tools that have worked for decades with no problems, NEW IS NOT BETTER, THINGS THAT DO WHAT THEY SAY ARE!
