AI is creating a big mess on eBay.

[owerstokdeel]

AI trucking everyone's  online  activities ,collecting and storing ,analyzing behaviors and making ridiculous decisions to punish peoples  like shadow banning  on multiple platforms affecting visibility of selling items .

Promoting your items can make eBay happier but if you sell cheap used items with small margins  it is not worth it.

If you have come up with a conspiracy theory, you have to provide evidence. You can't just say, "do your own research."

Again..

Shadow banning  conducted by AI .

There is a millions Counterfeit (which is violation ) Items from China  Promoted and  Visible but Genuine ones are not because not promoted....eBay cares only about money ,not  buyers or sellers...Ignoring Reports about Counterfeit Items, stolen Pictures and Descriptions and many more...

EBay turned to garbage and I have no choice to gradually move to Amazon.

I've seen no proof of any such thing happening.  We haven't promoted anything since Oct 2024. Our sales are higher than they were then.

Term "Conspiracy theory " created for suppression of the truth  .Today its a mark of trolls and gate keepers who use word "theory ".

[owerstokdeel]

 There is no theory,  just a reality.

[owerstokdeel]

Trolling is not for nice persons ,and usually feed the Karma. I see some trolls and gate keepers here...

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

AI seems to be the new buzzword on the discussion boards lately and people are quick to blame it for their recent issues but eBay has been using it for years, we just called it bots back then.

Why AI would shadow banning  ?? The list of reasons is to long. That is why I refer you to  read it  when do Google search. The most common is bad, sometimes unfair feedbacks, fake reports, returns and not promoting items.

There is many many more  " thinks AI trained to not like it " ...because  he is everywhere watching you.

I never asked that question.  You might revisit my post.  

AI for many is a scary thing.  It is a normal human response to be scared of something we don't understand.  I get it.  

What I've asked you is what are you seeing with AI on Ebay that has you concerned.  I ask because I'm interested and I'm curious as to what you are seeing.

Yet you refuse to give any details or proof.  Why?  That would only further the discussion.
