They always have @meme6253 . Many of us on the threads have always said that too. I'm unsure as to why some of the posters that come to the threads often find this as something new. Its not. I get sales with no view at all, all the time as do other sellers. That fact alone tells us there is an issue with how the data is collected.
Care to be specific? We can all throw out generalizations and blanket statements. But that really doesn't tell anyone much. Sure some will agree to it without knowing exactly what you are referring to, but that still doesn't tell us much.
Are you aware of a recent change in Service Metrics for International sellers and the aftermath of that?
It is rarely a good idea to have your eggs in one basket, so to speak. I've been selling here for 24+ years and I also sell on other sites. When sales are down on one, one of the other seems to pick up a bit so things stay pretty even.
If Ebay went back to its "roots", it would go bankrupt. In the late 90's there were much fewer buyers and sellers. We couldn't accept electronic payments, no mobile app [and much of our traffic is from the app], no variation listings, very few if any marketing tools, etc. etc.
It is always easy and popular to say lets go back to our roots or lets go back to the way it was. Many people like to hear that. The fact is that Buyers have changed in the past two decades, computers have changed in the past two decades, the internet has changed in the past two decades, Some sellers have changed and others are stuck it what was.
