Just a rant here. 24 years selling on ebay and 2024 has made me ready to pack it in.
Fees - crippling. Unless I find it on the floor, buying and selling is now impossible to make any sort of profit. Ebay and couriers make more per sale than me.
Buyers - 100% feedback on 1200 sales but in the last 20 sales, nothing but issues. A buyer who was 100% trying her luck to claim an item was undelivered (I won but ebay took no action), a buyer with an inability to convers with any manners (this could be a society issue 🤣), 2 buyers who changed their minds after asking questions AFTER the auctions ended... but don't forget, ebay removed the ability to leave them anything but positive feedback years ago. They thrive, we die.
Facebook market place - as much as FB is full of time wasters and muppets, the ability to sell cash in hand means I can charge so much less and keep my money. Ebay response to this threat? Increase fees.
Pay to win - anyone else notice how many things don't exist when you search on eBay? Search through Google and so many more things appear. Is this about promoting items?
Long term user, first time community poster. Rant not over just TBC.
Thanks for listening 🤣
