2024 Sales are dead, and eBay are not helping themselves.
I have been selling on eBay since 2006, and have seen so many changes, made by eBay, mostly for the benefit of buyers, not sellers, that its demise is not in the slightest bit surprising. I have given up on even pushing, or adding any new listings on...

What documents are actually required for GPSR compliance?
I'm currently updating my eBay listings for GPSR. Most of my products have a user manual which I am uploading. Is that sufficient for compliance to prevent the listing becoming blocked? I have the EU responsible person details completed. Tried search...
