Some of the blame needs to be put on dishonest sellers who down right lie in their listings and have one stock photo up and figure that is all you get.
I was looking yesterday for a pair of diamond studs for my daughter for her birthday.
Clicked on diamond, then earrings. Put in my blocks that I wanted real mine diamonds, and natural.
Wasted an hour clicking on listings that when you get way to the bottom of the description, they are CZ and enhanced. Yet natural diamond is right in the title. And I asked a couple sellers to send me photos as you cannot buy diamond earrings with one stock photo. That was Thursday, this is Tuesday and nothing.
Well if you are an honest seller out there, I am sorry I missed you because I ended up giving up and will buy them locally.
My daughter is moving into a new apartment. Went on ebay and left for Amazon.
Same with my son when he was looking for a particular Christmas decoration last year. Waded through mile long TOSs, store history, etc to come to a 3 word description that told him nothing about the product.
Left and went to Amazon.
People who are encountering this are not staying long enough to see what honest sellers are listing. They are leaving for other venues.
Ebay needs to eliminate stock photos. Buyers hate them. I want to see the actual item.
Ebay needs to get rid of drop shippers and limit how many items one seller can have under all his listings. Then maybe all of us will have a chance to be seen.
And ebay needs to get tough with sellers who continually violate the category they put their items in and to downright lie in their titles tofalsely get people to click on them.
Because even us old timers are giving up on ebay.
