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?

ebay know they are on to a good thing, and instead of being satisfied with
their lot, as they have grown, they become complacent, start to get greedy,
and end up by taking the *bleep*!

Wow that’s bad , I am the same doing zero myself having been averaging £500-600 per month ( but I did tend to probably spend £250 of that buying stuff ) … but it’s a nightmare ! ..Our problems  probably do not matter to the hierarchy at EBay … I’m no economist but my turnover must have been £10,000 per year , multiply that by thousands and even allowing for the fortunes they are spending to woo new buyers / sellers it does not add up ! … they must know it’s not working . Decent folk like us are being punished for no reason .
What do we do , I am treating it as a break , but my options are limited , sell the really good items very cheaply and pay fortunes to promote them , skip my lesser items to the tip , or sit tight and wait … 
Best of luck , hope things turn in your favour .

Its getting silly now.



No Sales but I still have to pay listing fees.



So instead of eBay paying me, I'm having to pay eBay (I'm sure that's the
wrong way around)



Vinted is looking more and more like the way to go
