Disappointed in all the changes.

I am so disappointed in all the changes.Everything is harder and far less fun.Buying on auctions searching and selling all atrocious.I can't even stand looking at the pages.Seriously what is going on?Why do I have big hearts and trucks and boxes with giant check marks.Having to scroll endlessly and still unable to find what I'm looking for.My experience used to be streamlined and savvy, now it looks like a t data spreadsheet from the 90s.I may have to cash out at this point.It's all too much.When both buying and selling become this frustrating, people will start leaving.Feeling bummed.

The phrase "life is too short" comes to mind.

Your words make it seem as if you have developed a negative bias toward this site, and (if so) those do not go away quickly, if at all.  (The negative bias means that it is difficult to see anything positive in something, and every piece of evidence reinforces the negative view).

In doing the grind day after day in a negative environment, it can become difficult to clearly assess what is best for you.  Maybe taking a break for a few weeks might give you some clarity.

Hang in there! Don't miss the coming opportunity when pent up demand will explode when things get back to normal!

Changes are hard to get used to. But you will over time and your frustration will be forgotten. It has happened to all including me.

The best thing for you to do now is to start building draft listings so you can insert them when things improve. Learn as much as you can about Ebay now so you are ready to benefit when things get better.

Remember, imagine how horrifying it was during the 1918 flu. It was surely the end of the world for those people. But things improved and came around. It will happen to this mess also. We will overcome this.

Take this time to get prepared for the upcoming good times!

Don't quit!

I agree 100%, I shut everything down going on 1 year in June. After assessing how I might use ebay services in the future, I am just now thinking about using ebay on a VERY LIMITED basis.

Good luck.

Nice insight. My negative bias encroached my internal attitude while I worked in a middle management position from 2001 - 2012. I finally had to leave the negative corporation that closed its U.S. factories and outsourced to China and Mexico while laying off hundreds of New York union manufacturing employees with 30 years experience. Today I couldn't be happier working my union construction trade while selling on ebay for fun.
