One thing I feel we all need to keep in mind when reading let alone replying to other users posts, is that yes although many of us are all under the same eBay America umbrella but, eBay is segmented broken down into different sections or areas across the US. So someones experiences from like where I am up in the Seattle area will likely not be the exact same as someone in Alabama or something. Ebay rolls things out to different areas at different times, with some areas becoming the ginny pig of various change-outs.
In the end I am on the boat that believes there's a Big problem not within the platform we use to create income. But eBay is definitely not 100% to blame for current lows or slows in sales because all e-commerce is down across the board. However I fully believe that even when many buyers are essentially broke, people love to "Window Shop" looking at items of interest and following those waiting for the day when they find themselves with a little extra funds again. And since what's been dubbed the "Views Update" supposedly nearly all interested buyers have seemingly fallen off the globe, which I do not believe for a second.
And I think that it's naive to just go along with things, the changes that are affecting our business of which I personally rely quite heavily on. And It makes me sick the current user base seemingly wasn't even thought of when it comes to how the changes would affect us, versus new users who came to the platform. But in the end I do agree that many people are not taking the time to educate themselves before launching complaints and if anything the last 6 months or so have at least shown me that I need to take more of my e-commerce business dealings into my own hands if I don't like what's happening.
