Fees and Taxes are starting to get out of control.

It seems people are starting to use other platforms to sell there products.  Is ebay going to stay competitive?

Can you elaborate on "it seems" and "other platforms"? What percentage of sellers do you think have left eBay in the last year? What other platforms do you think they are leaving for?

As for eBay remaining competitive ... that question has been asked on this board regularly for more than a decade now. The answer so far has always been "yes".

More details please.  Your statement is pretty generic so very hard to respond to.

Ebay fees are not higher than other similar sites.

Sales tax is NOT just happening on Ebay, it is happening on ALL Marketplace sites on the internet.

What sites are you referring to?  You can say them here.  There is no rule against doing that.  You just aren't suppose to encourage people to leave Ebay and go elsewhere.  But we can discuss other sites.

Being competitive is a relative thing, so what are you comparing Ebay to?

No.

I've been around since 1998, and the complaints were around then.

So over two decades of whinging.
