1---OK so I have a Premium store where I get 1000 Fixed priced listings monthly but I only have 350 items---so when I list or relist all 350 items I will not get to use the other 650 BIN listings because my listings will run into the next month & if all BIN listings are automatically relisted & I am charged for them---I REPEAT ---WHY HAVE A STORE ???
2---Nobody ever talks about what I call---THE CHURN---which to me means when you have something listed at 7 days then each day it comes closer & closer to the front of the listings----with everybody at 30 days all of my listings will be a couple of thousand pages back at all times---a lot of people search for something & they browse 2 to 3 maybe 5 pages tops & a small percentage may browse as many as 10 pages--- but with this new system we will all be lucky to be in the first 1000 pages the majority of the time.
3---Auction died for the majority of us a long time ago because this 2019 society has ADD & cannot wait for a dial tone let alone several days for an auction to end. People want things RIGHT NOW & ONLY RIGHT NOW.
So to me I say again---WHY HAVE A STORE???---Ebay just made them extinct.
4---And last but not least I have Handmade Sterling Silver Poison Rings & Lockets up that I sell at shows & conventions on the weekend for $60. to $75.---as an experiment I lowered them to $39.99 & NO SALES---Then I lowered them to $29.99 to prove a point to my daughter---NO SALES---just one customer who obviously knows his stuff has bought around 65 pieces & is thrilled to death---My point to all this yapping is that Ebay has become this low end swap meet where everyone wants everything for nothing & even a $30. price point is too much for this crowd---So for the last time---WHY HAVE A STORE???----between Ebays constantly changing Stupid policies & the BOTTOM FEEDER crowd that comes here to shop---WHATS THE POINT???

It should be up to US, the store owner, which listings we have available each month. If we pay for 500 listings each month, but have 700 listings due to the "freebies" that are offered from time to time, why should we have to pay EXTRA insertion fees? WE should be able to choose which listings we want in a given month. If we have only 1 of an item, then the GTC is not fair....If we have 100, then I can see it. This policy is catering to the big stores who are using E-bay...Home Depot, Walmart, Wayfair, etc. Squeezing the small seller out. For a compromise, force the GTC on listings with more than 2 as a quantity...this protects the small seller and those unique items that people come to E-bay to find
