I will be going to eBay Open next week.

I posted a while ago that if anyone want to send me questions, suggestions , complaints, praises , etc I am more than willing to pass them to the teams or /and eBay staff members.

So lets hear them !!

Why do you think it's worth going?

southern*sweet*tea · ‎07-23-2017

Ooohh, oooh, I have a question!

"Ebay...

WHY?"

(as in why can't you leave things well enough alone and why do you incessantly screw with things that work instead of fixing things that don't work)

I don't forsee an answer to this, though. I'm sure they have to forward the pertinent information to the appropriate staff member and will get back with you soon....

How about asking if ebay would consider segregating ebay new from the used/vintage/ooak, like ebay does with ebay motors, so that buyers looking for new items can search on the appropriate section and not have to see, and accidently buy, used items they are not interested in.

I personally think that this would eliminate a lot of problems with buyers, now that mobile doesn't show description unless the buyer does an extra click through.

(*Bleep*)

Have a fun trip.

Great! 45.8% down over the same time last year with 2x+ items listed. Are you impressed? I'm certainly not!

Except that eBay "new" (or whatever they would call it) would mostly be china sellers with their new penny junk

Ask them when they are going to quit micromanaging sellers.

Also when they will be getting a cart that works properly. It has been a mess for eons.

Ask them what's the purpose of forcing IPR on items where sellers don't want the option - especially since the Request An Invoice (for combined shipping) isn't functioning correctly.

LOL! High temp today in Las Vegas will be 108; overnight low, 89. But it's a dry heat ...

You can laugh, but dry heat beats 90+ and humid any day! Walked early this morning, and 5 minutes in, it felt like I had just stepped out of the shower (NJ) and definitely needed one when I got home!

This^^^.

I've always said that this would be an answer to a lot of frustration

for buyers & sellers alike.

We who sell used vintage items would cheer.

How do they recommend completing a local pickup through eBay messages.

Ahhh...My birthplace. The toxic waste capital of the world. I even created a toxic waste drink when I lived there. 4 to 5 ozs. and you would fall down the rabbit hole until the next day.

Why do they keep changing the layout of the platform, and also, why do they keep making it harder and longer to list stuff.

That's right and as a searcher for vintage stuff, I would welcome ebay's getting all of that trash pulled out of my search results. But with ebay, you manipulate them by presenting it as a benefit for buyers of new stuff, they will not care about the buyers of vintage items.

It works on Etsy, it can work on ebay.

Hi Patty, have a good time.
