Is eBay actually dying? Or is it just private sellers that are suffering?

Ok I know I only sell a handful of things but I'm getting no views and few watchers. Things were much better a year or so ago. Are auctions falling out of favour?

Re: Is eBay actually dying? Or is it just private sellers that are suffering?

The way to see if eBay is dying is to look at their Company figures.  Because I was wondering why it gets harder and harder to do business on here not always caused by eBay sometimes in eBays response to outside issues. 

 

On the other hand as a seller I felt punished by fees to the extent that I felt that maybe eBay didn't care if I left as a seller.  I looked into it instead of assuming an answer or taking an answer from a guesser.

 

I had to look from the angle of why eBay may not care if it looses SALES, SELLERS OR BUYERS from it's platform.  Well it all comes down to  the bottom line and that is maybe there is less sellers, Less buyers and less items being sold but the strategy works for them because there is not less profits for eBay it's really that simple. 

 

If you think it is anything more complicated your wrong.
