The major problem on eBay is MICRO-MANAGING because there is no clear vision. I don't know of any long-term plans based on what I experience on this platform. Many changes made on this platform do not add any clear value because they do not relate with the sellers before they make their changes. "The worst ideology on eBay is thinking that once it favors eBay, sellers should dive into the ocean", this is why eBay makes sudden erratic changes, eBay will eventually realize that such half-baked decision does not favor them in the long run and still need to make another half-baked decision. The good news is that eBay still have the opportunity to start listening /communicating with sellers while the Sun shines. Let it not be like the situation where Facebook is chasing TikTok, but Facebook refused initially to listen to many of her business customers.
There are some great changes on Seller's hub but some of them are more in sync with time-wasting and hype than value. The worst is the distortion of Listings due to all these erratic changes. This causes sales to drop, and the worst part is that eBay does not inform sellers that they are having problems, until a seller notices a drop in sales for over 80%. these guys don't care a bit about how these erratic changes affect sellers. For over 1month, very few sales which cannot handle any bill.
"eBay where is your VISION?" "eBay where is your 10yrs plan?" "eBay where is your 5yrs plan?" 'eBay where is your 2yrs plan?" "eBay where is your 1yr plan?". I am tempted to ask eBay for their 1day plan.

Adjusting to the plans is not the issue, the issue is changing things which adversely affect sellers on a consistent basis. I don't know eBay plans, so I don't know what they are changing to. Is it not better for eBay to start informing sellers some of their plans especially when it consigns sellers too? I saw that I was not selling I contacted eBay they said it might be because January is slow, If I search most of my listing on my store, I will not find some of them, I did not know they have changed many things on seller's hub until I began to research why my sales dropped so much. I noticed that many of my listings were distorted, I had to pull down many of my listings. This is not the first such is happening and when I called eBay to ask why I was not selling, they could not inform me they were having any form of challenge.

What is your vision for your business? I'd think that would be more important to you. I always worry that ebay may make a change that I'm not crazy about, but they have no obligation to let me know their plans.
I can't imagine calling ebay to ask why I'm not selling. Who exactly do you ask that question of?

The reason so my trading cards are bought and sold on ebay is because there are major loopholes in ebays systems that allows for dishonest people to make some serious money with little to no consequence. And please dont waste your breath on ebays buyer protection policy because its not bullet proof in fact if you dont mind being dishonest (which most scammers dont) its quite easy to get around

Sad to say but plan is to sell less but rake same or more.
To contribute to reduction of carbon.
Sell high value items (sell less for more =more fees=less shipping= less gas/carbon)

Lol, If I don't sell, I will call eBay because I know how much time and effort, I put in. When I wasn't putting much effort, I won't call eBay because I know I am not putting in much. But If I am putting in the kind of effort I put into eBay, Iam supposed to be selling, if I am not selling, there must be a problem on the platform, or something has changed.
