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?
