    <title>topic Re: ebay revenue  down and still falling in 2025 in Seller Central</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm still curious about the figures for the 5 years prior to 2012 and any trends they show, sorry but I can't find them.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2013 was when ebay announced FVF on P&amp;amp;P in their Fall (September) Seller Announcements.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What that shows me is that revenue increased in '14 (due to the fee increase?) and continued to grow until '17.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ebay started the change-over from paypal to Managed Payments in a limited way in the second half of 2018 and rolled it out more widely in '19, completing the transition in '21.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What that shows me is that again revenue took a hit but bounced back, again due to the fee increase?&amp;nbsp; Also in '20 / '21 aided by Covid lockdowns.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Since then we've had a several years of high inflation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Without knowing the pre-2012 trend and why such a plunge 2013, in IMO it doesn't look too good.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Since 2013 and allowing for inflation (especially in delivery costs), revenue looks to be almost flat-lining.&amp;nbsp; Take out the above increases in fee revenue it might even be in decline and all the apparent growth simply down to inflation?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What I'd expect for 2025 results?&amp;nbsp; Another sharp reduction followed in '26 by a rebound due to increased fee revenue, but little in the way of any real growth in sales.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
