How is taking on debt from eBay gonna help my business when eBay is the one hurting it the most?

I find these eBay messages interesting sometimes.  I don't think they realize what is going on with their own site.  Having more money to buy inventory, and equipment isn't going to help.  What would really help my business is if eBay wasn't actively suppressing my listings and manipulating search results.  Maybe roll back some bad policies and enforce other buyer related policies while I am dreaming.

And those business classes are generally talking about real businesses - where the owner has dome some preparation and has an actual business plan.

 

On eBay we see an awful lot of "businesses" where someone just creates a selling account, lists some items, and then posts here asking how eBay works 🙂

Buyers an choose to change the default "best match" if they want. No one is hurting your business except those who you are competing against. It's tough when trying to compete with thousands of others. Some people who can buy at low enough cost that don't have the $$ can benefit from  the Ebay loan.
