Prediction

Looking into my crystal ball, my prediction is this:  Somewhere down the line, some time in the future, eBay will be composed 90% of Sri Lankans selling tea, coffee and seeds.  The other 10% will be Sri Lankans asking how to sell on eBay or offering wrong answers on the various boards.

Yeah, that will be the 100% that don't make the grade or don't last long.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

Re: Prediction

     I think the split will be more like 30% selling Sri Lankan coffee, tea, seeds and coconut products, 60% drop shippers selling cheap stuff out of China, 5% attending selling school and 5% wondering how to increase their selling limits.

Re: Prediction

Right, but aren't you forgetting the 85% that are in the dark?

Re: Prediction

Is that where they come from? 😁

 

It does seem that eBay has expressed zero interest in finding out why there's been this absolute explosion of clueless posts exclusively from Sri Lanka. At minimum, you'd think they would at least wonder how people are managing to set up what appear to be functional eBay accounts without having even the vaguest idea of how to use the accounts once they're created.

You forgot about the 88% leaving ebay because of managed payments.

Re: Prediction

Maybe ebay is well aware SL sellers(?).  Having the increase in registered sellers/users and a way to explain any revenue increase without blaming it on mentioning PLA and PLB?

But then, of course, they're not Sri Lankans.
