Yeah? Well, good luck with that, 'cause eBay definitely does NOT care about the small sellers, not in the LEAST! Ever since this 'GTC Fiasco' was implemented on March 18th, prospective buyers now have absolutely NO 'sense of urgency' to buy, anymore, since everyone's listings are now 'Good-Till-Cancelled', and seemingly 'never-ending', and buyers really have NO urgency, AT ALL, to hurry up and buy your items, before your listings run out and the items are no longer available. As for ME, my sales (I specialize in vintage red LED watches from the mid-70's) went from 3 or 4 per week, on average (and sometimes, as many as 3 to 4 in one DAY, in peak times), to very nearly ZERO sales! In fact, before I recently ended my annual-subscription, monthly eBay Store, my sales had plummeted to a mere TWO sales, in 6 1/2 weeks! Or, just about one sale, per month! So, I have simply STOPPED selling on eBay, as there just seems no point in even TRYING, anymore, nor do I even feel compelled to compose any new listings, even though I am sitting on literally thousands of dollars' worth of inventory, which would ordinarily have found new homes, by now...it's just simply not worth the effort, anymore. So, THANKS, eBay, you have succeeded in destroying MY piddling-little eBay business of 19+ years, just like you've destroyed the businesses of thousands and thousands of OTHER small-time sellers on here, the same sellers who HAD been helping this sinking ship stay afloat!

I have been around for 16 years. I am as frustrated as you with Ebay but trying to hang in. I use my allotment of 50 and any free promos. On the 29th day I manually end the listings. Although it is a workaround I am willing to do this because that 30 day duration worked for me. I enjoyed having daily sales on Ebay prior to whatever they did to ¨help¨ the sellers. This GTC change on the Spring update was supposed to increase the visibility so that we would make more sales. So far I do not see any increase in sales. Now I am experiencing 2 days of nothing then 3 or 4 sales within a few hours. I think because I sell in a niche, my items are being seen every couple of days during this time period when these sales roll in. I never thought I would experience ¨rolling blackouts¨ but it seems like that is happening.
I have read enough of comments where people are saying that it is slow for sellers everywhere but I have not seen as many longtime sellers complaining as loudly as they are now.
