Has eBay's Policies and algorithm Changed
Summary: military-incorporated shares concerns about a significant decrease in their eBay sales despite increasing their stock by 300%. As a military retailer, they face issues with items being removed unjustly under eBay's policy for police and emergency services items. On contacting eBay, they were informed that nothing could be done. military-incorporated seeks insights from others about possible changes in eBay's policies or algorithm that might explain these challenges.
In recent times we've seen our eBay sales drop to almost critical levels, numbers we've never experienced before, which is extremely worrying considering in the past 2 years our stock offering has increased by almost 300% on the platform. We've also started having items removed when they don't breach any of eBay's policies, we're a military retailer and their AI tools seem to be removing military items under the policy that covers police and emergency services items, which our items do not fall under, when we spoke to eBay they said there was nothing they could do. I remember a few years ago there was an algorithm change, which caused huge disruption for a few months and a drop in sales, does anyone know if eBay's policies towards collectable sellers have changed and also if there's been a change in the algorithm and AI tools?
