I think the writing is on the wall

Low sales, terrible search, tons of glitches being ignored, and this quote. There is only one thing activist investors do, destroy for profit. 

"Longtime eBay CEO Devin Wenig stepped down in September and activist investors are pushing the company to make changes. Elliott Management took a stake in eBay last year. Following that, eBay sold off its StubHub unit to a European competitor for $4 billion.

But another activist firm, Starboard Value, wants eBay to dump even more assets. Starboard said in a letter to eBay Tuesday it was disappointed eBay hasn't made progress on selling its Classifieds unit. EBay responded by saying that it has "implemented changes based on investor input" and that "we remain open to all value-enhancing opportunities."

I’m still seeing some huge sales in my vintage collectibles category. Sales on eBay are not all down. There is much less coming up for sale and driving bigger demand.

People have been predicting the downfall of eBay since I started on the boards in 1999.

I expect eBay will continue along it's path of alienating manny of it's smaller sellers.

Agree, the writing is on the wall. For the month of February so far my fees to ebay are $1.30 for 6 days. It is just getting worst.

Business is thriving for some sellers.

I continue to buy inventory from other ebay sellers and make new listing.

Not all ebay sellers are hurting.
