Ebay is losing good sellers/buyers.
|
It is true that eBay is losing many great sellers
and as they leave, so do the honest buyers, but
for every seller who hits their limit of frustration, a
new bright-eyed bushy tailed seller takes their place.
For each long term buyer, who leaves due to seeing
the same over-priced junk listed for thirty days, over
and over again, a new buyer takes their place.
Although, on the surface this may seem like a simple
changing of the guard, there is a downside to it. The
sellers, who started the exodus, were long term members.
These were sellers who had exemplary FB from the high
100's to well into 1000's. They had finally had enough.
Today, we are seeing sellers with well under 100 FB giving up.
Same situation on the buyer side. Great long term buyers
have left and some of the new crop of bidders have a
disturbing view of what eBay is. There is a sense of entitlement,
which is driven by eBay's policies. Bid like crazy, but don't pay...
nothing will happen, eBay protects them. Make false claims...
nothing will happen, eBay has their back.
There are many of us, still trying to make a go of it here,
but for many others, the thrill is gone.
