What is wrong with this platform called eBayy?

[ony_chine]

I cannot stand any entity failing in their duties, when can eBay rise? I cannot be paying for store subscription without anything to show for it. This platform is becoming a joke. Ebay is calling for people to connect, what are we connecting for? For an emotional talk show, I guess. This Platform is parasitic, I have never benefitted anything from here. This Platform is not performing but you got the boldness to be calling for sellers to connect, y'all are comedians. Some people will soon jump out to start telling me about business strategy, thank you in advance, keep your advice to yourself if you are one of those eBay back door sellers. I want real people to comment, not jokers

With only 148 listings you should not be paying for a Store.

You have 250 FREE listings every month without a Store.

But I've only been selling here since 1998 so what do I know?

It may be your business plan and not eBay.   Shoes are hard to fit.  Many people want to try them on before purchase.  Most retail establishments have special places to sit just for this purpose.  Preowned shoes are an even tougher commodity.   When worn the size can change from the owner's foot molding to the shoe, this is especially true with higher end leather footwear.  There's also the pee-pee concept.  Men's shoes are known to be contaminated.  Lots of people won't touch them with a 10-foot pole.

You see, that is the problem. Does eBay need to wait for me to list 1000 items before they recognize that I am paying for store subscription? There's everything wrong with that, I have the capacity of listing 20 to 100 items daily 

[ony_chine]

I'm upset because eBay handlers are not doing their job, if eBay is doing their job, there's no single day, I will not sell 5 to 10 items, but the present managers of eBay have a very lazy strategy, they pick very few stores in each category to be sending buyers to, for each category, the rest of the stores are their parasitic go to. Why can't eBay managers go for a strategy that can cut across every seller?

You have been selling for several years. If eBay has given nothing to you – nothing positive- it boggles the mind as to why you are still here.

You operate under the delusion that eBay owes anything to you, other than an online market place where you can sell your things. No one is obliged to buy your things. eBay is not obliged to provide a living wage to you.

you have received a lot of great advice over the years, but you won’t take it.  You do the same things over and over, waiting for someone else to give you a different result. It isn’t going to happen, so better to think about your business plan, and make the changes necessary to either get you out of the eBay game or start making money.

A joker is here again, the problem with most of you jokers is the fact that your reasoning is not beyond the threshold of your typing fingers 

[ony_chine]

Comedian, If I say Iam packing, it might take me some time, but I will. I am tired of some jokers like you especially the ones who don't know when to joke 

[powell-memorabilia]

As others have stated before (numerous times, this is not new) a store doesn’t get much for you, especially when you only have 100 to 200 listings.  eBay doesn’t report that it does anything other than give you a store page and the ability to send out a newsletter.  

That eBay should funnel sales to you over others is nonsense.  as a buyer, I absolutely do not want for eBay to prioritize stores in searches - I’d rather just see the best match or let me sort by price, filter out locations, etc..

[ony_chine]

Nice perspective but I've been on eBay for enough time to know that eBay handlers are following very lazy routes to make money for eBay, what they do is introducing several types of promotions borrowed from other platforms like Amazon to make money for eBay not minding the consequence on majority of the sellers, more like copy & paste. A very creative team will look into a strategy holistically and device a strategy which is balanced for the sellers and Ebay

[ony_chine]

Lol, gang up jokers

[powell-memorabilia]

Let us pretend, just for a minute, that you can craft a better marketing plan than the employees at eBay. Would it not be better for you to craft a marketing plan that takes advantage of the dysfunction of eBay?  It is far easier to change what you do and to change what eBay does. That concept should be really easy to get.

Plenty of sellers have found a way to make it on eBay. Even in clothing.
