Issue is the top level in eBay are obviously very intelligent, but intelligence on paper and in exams doesnt mean you can run a successful business and especially run a competent team. Look at Post Office for the prime example. The last big movement for me on here was AGS, this was brought in as StockX and GOAT were kicking eBay to the curb, all they had to do was copy and paste the situation but they instead brought in the lite version which was as good as a chocolate teacup, then expanded it before the issues were solved so now we are firefighting a forest fire with a garden hose, staff havent been trained correctly and most dont even know the simple rules of it so its a constant battle.
The drugs story would probably work for drugs but what they have actually done is said the drug dealers can still sell coke thats fine but the pharmacy isnt allowed to sell coke, you can just carry on doing as you were doing, they've rewarded illegal traders and put 2 fingers (currently) up to the legal traders. The community team have said good news will come at the roadshow so im looking forward to hearing what it is, if its more buyers will come and pay nothing that aint good news.
Its certainly the first step, if it works it'll be introduced to many other categories but then I cant really blame anyone for opening a private account and screwing over eBay as they have screwed over a business seller, my morals probably wouldnt allow it but after complaining for years to eBay and they have basically said thanks but no we will reward them instead, thats a painful slap. Never looked at vinted for trainers, as you cant be a business its nothing I've looked at and the stuff i buy is very rarely ever on there. I just think there was many better moves they could have done to attract customers instead of annoying your core base. Even if it doesnt effect businesses that much, its annoyed them enough for some to quit. Thats terrible business sense.
