eBay is becoming geared towards high volume drop shippers. It's not the diverse marketplace it once was. Current eBay policy favors those who move a lot of product and pay for the right to do so. A dropshipper who routinely sells $2.00-$5.00 USD priced items on eBay likely has a fair number of defects, returns, item not arrived or as described. This puts them into the high or very fields in eBay's service metrics program that, by design, is intended to enhance eBay's income (not to help sellers grow and improve customer service as they would like to have you believe). eBay can now charge sellers a higher listing fee (0.35 USD) and also get a higher final value fees by manipulating these statistics to their advantage (they like to use the fancy word 'metrics'). These sellers list hundreds of items at a time. They likely don't call eBay CSR's and complain about return or SNADS . Ultimately, eBay makes more, uses less human resources and becomes a part of the global garbage selling continuum. It's a sad situation, but at the end of the day, eBay is a multinational organization whose primary aim is to reward stockholders and pay big bonuses to executives.
