I'm tired eBay, really tired.

Yes I know, they don't read the boards.

Not a day goes by lately that I don't think about hanging it up.

I'm tired, I'm weary.

I'm tired of spam emails from eBay

I'm tired of my items being lost in a sea of reproductions from the far east 

I'm tired of my items taking up to 24 hours to index while the repro's index almost instantly, thus nullifying the "time-newly listed" views since by the time my item does index it is already buried.

I'm tired of jumping through hoops to view sold items. When I click on something that is what I want to see. I don't want to be redirected to a "similar item"

I'm tired of eBay only showing me some of the results when I want to buy, while hiding others. 

I'm tired of best match being the unchangeable default on the phone app.

I'm tired of all the glitches lately.

I'm tired of the pathetic eBay bucks rewards.

I'm tired of the pathetic TRS+ discounts.

I'm tired of eBay making money from my shipping efforts- both with their fees and the discounts that they receive from the USPS and don't pass along.

I'm tired of eBay trying to send me to re-education camp to try to teach me to sell cell phones.

I'm tired of artificial intelligence.

I'm tired of working harder for less.

I'm tired of my garage looking like an episode of hoarders.

 

Ok, I'm done now. I hope you all have a great weekend!

You can choose to reduce some of the effort and time that you put into a hobby, without much loss.

 

You can always come back again strong, at a future time.


The only problem I have with that statement is that hobbies are supposed to be for enjoyment. No enjoyment with eBay these days. Even trying to buy is a real drag of workarounds and Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later that are exclusive to eBay. 

Chaos is NOT an "industry standard".

Georg, I have always enjoyed buying, but I can't now because we're not selling. I only purchased from a select few sellers, so no fruitless searches. I used to get up in the morning, get a coffee and then go on to our site on eBay to see what needed shipping. Nowawadays, I sign into here to find out what the latest bug. Sometimes I don't even bother checking in at the store.

For everyone....Don't forget to express your concerns in the "Tell us What You Think" feature on the selling page. They do read those.

Better yet, "Tell them what you think" on any search results page where it tells you that there are "X" items available and only one is viewable.  Total insanity.

"Many sellers have the opinion that they're working for eBay now."
