Must be just a coincidence that it has happened at the same time as the promoted Listings scam?
Hardly a " thriving " business.
We have absolutely lost both buyers and sellers. We gained both during the pandemic and then likely lost many of them after the world started opening up again.
In case you were unaware, Promoted listings started in 2015. The info below does not even hint at this being an issue.
Where did you get your numbers from. It sure isn't what I see @joliztoyco .

Interesting allegations. I would like to take a closer look at this seller. You can't post their ID here, but if you are willing, you could send me a private message with their ID.

The Number in 2018 is 22.3
The Number in 2019 is 21.1
That's LESS!!!
Not a "We gained" like you say!
Oh ya...again I was back to One sale since Thursday and I see eBay has problems with payments... Again!
Excuse me!!! You will have to show me where I said we have NOT been losing members, both buyers and sellers [except through the pandemic]. Seems to me that you need to look a bit closer at what I actually said and not what you assume I said.
I was responding to another poster that said "in less than 4 years they have LOST close to 20% of their buyers and sellers." The graphs and link I posted clearly show that is NOT true.
What I said was "We have absolutely lost both buyers and sellers. We gained both during the pandemic and then likely lost many of them after the world started opening up again." Just not the 20% that the other poster that I was addressing said. So where you got what you posted from IDK. It wasn't me that said it.
I don't mind if you quote me, just be accurate in what you have said. Taking stuff OUT OF CONTEXT to make it appear as if I said something I didn't is just a way misrepresent what was actually said to further whatever it is you want to enhance. It does not by any stretch of the imagination make it the truth.
