I have been selling here on Ebay since 02-03. I have a good seller rating, I am a powerseller, have good feedback. My sales have tanked big time.
I can no longer afford to make investments to sell on this site any longer.
I feel I have tried everything within my power to make this work for me and my household. Store/no store/ single items, lots. I look for my own items and can't find them due to the new system. As soon as what I have listed ends I will no longer be here. A sad note for me is thiss is something I really enjoyed. I realize other sites such as Etsy are about the same. Good bye to all fellow Ebayers have met some wonderful folks through the years and much luck to all sellers. I mean this I am not bitter, everything to me is a season my season here is over.

I understand your reasoning, but why not just use the 50 free listings? You can still move forward with your current plans, and just have a very small presence here.
Good Luck Selling!

I enjoyed buying lots from you in the past and have had you in my favorites since 2016.

Because it's too risky to buy inventory anymore to sell here. Saving 25 or 30 cents has nothing to do with the massive sales problems on this site. And even when there is a sale, there are so many scams and fee manipulations, it's really just better to move on like I and I'm sure many others have already done or are about to do.

Sadly, this is where I am heading too....

Dear Mr. Lewisburggold:
Good sellers have been leaving for quite some time now because of the changes. The ladies that come to this board complaining about bad sellers will have more of that to look forward to. And then, because of these bad sellers, the good buyers will leave, and all that will be left will be bad sellers and bad buyers. Now whose fault would that be?

Ebay completes more than One Billion transactions daily worldwide. I think they understand how ecommerce works better than you or I.
Good Luck Selling!

Your records are better than what we can see ,but if you leave FB for every sale, since 2002 you have averaged 32.3 sales a month.
In the last 30 days you have made 34 sales.
I'd suggest using the 50 Free Listings and just add whatever has lapsed to the 18 you have up at the moment.
Then let them ride as GTC listings, checking for PP payments daily.
Given the greatly increased numbers of new buyers every day, you may find you get just as much income for much less work.

Just because they complete that many transactions does not mean they are all quality ones where the customer is pleased! Just tonight I saw a Chinese/American drop seller on here who has 385 neutral and 472 negative feedbacks left over the past 6 months. Lots of big sellers on here, selling in quantity with horrible service. But Ebay looks the other way and lets them continue. Double standard.

They used too and are still riding the coattails of that history, but current management has a long way to go to know more about ecommerce than many of the sellers on here. They do understand Plundering 101 quite thoroughly though.

I'm glad you're not bitter and I wish you luck elsewhere - but you have over a 50% sell thru rate which is unheard of these days on Ebay - so I think you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.
