DROP IN SALES SINCE NEW BUYER PROTECTION 4TH FEB 2025

[lo.maggi]

Has anyone else noticed lack of sales since the buyer protection update 4th february 2025. I used to sell quite a lot and virtually sold nothing since 4th Feb. Can anyone else relate to this and what can we do?

Eventually the changes eBay’s inflicting on private sellers will catch up with business sellers. I’m a private seller and I’ve always spent more on eBay than I make, buyinh mostly from business sellers in the U.S. I’m already buying less. 

Selling on eBay has been a miserable experience for years. Simple Postage was a step too far. eBay dictates to sellers at every stage now and it’s too much.

As soon as these changes were announced a lot of business sellers realised exactly what the result of ebay's action would be. We have been under no illusions. Eve Williams speaks of transformational changes and I find myself bracing for what may be to come. Not that we'll ever be asked about any changes before they happen.

It’s like a policy of self-destruction.Every new policy has a negative impact on us sellers.

I have been on ebay since 1999 and it was brilliant but now it is dead. Once my last postcards have sold (selling at a loss) I will not be using ebay again. All good things eventually come to an end. 😥

Totally agree with you, been on ebay since 1999 and very soon when my last two listings have ended with a sale (at a big loss)  I am off for good.  Good luck to all who stay.

Amen to that, I am having a closing down sale, and when I get rid of those
items, I am off, but if I run out of patience before then, I will donate
the left overs to charity!

Surely they can see how bad it has got for us my sales over the last 31 days is 50% down !

its got to be hitting Ebays pockets too, the whole buyers protection is a shambles it was never needed in the first place , i would always refund for lost parcels then claim off the delivery company .

Its got to be greed because the system worked and didn't need fixing.

Exactly!
