Has Ebay become un-usable for both buyers AND private sellers?
Ebay seems to be determined to alienate a large section of its user base. First up the new 'protection' racket - where every purchase from a private seller has a surcharge added for so-called 'buyer protection' - basically it's a very expensive insur...
Buyer fees 2025 implication for sellers

SAVED FEED NEW UTTER WASTE OF TIME
The new SAVED FEED that purports to offer ideas to would be purchasers is a complete and utter waste of time. Its AI choice or perhaps something else is actually totally and utterly uninformed, taking away the previous long established serendipitous ...
