Found the podcast, read the highlights but didn't listen to the whole thing.
I still wonder about the logic of this concept (paraphrased from memory, but you get my gist.)
"We're focused on that enthusiast that has just bought a 1959 Corvette, it goes well with our car parts business (you'll need a lot of parts)"
The best I could find was an immaculate looking '65 Corvette @ £59,995.
But he also talks about " how people sell stuff around their houses in "times of economic uncertainty". Where/how does that tie up with his '59 Corvette, even a barn find wreck, and a big budget for all those parts?
Ebay had virtually cornered the market in collectables and gave away a large chunk of it to etsy because it was getting too greedy. Then there was the sorry saga of replacing most of the Collectables categories with IS. That reduced my sales at a stroke as buyers gave up trying to find what they were looking for using a system they didn't understand and didn't give good results.
The last item I listed on ebay was a very rare purple coloured Bagley table lamp (possibly) overpriced at £700 which, as it was so collectable, I refused to Sponsor. So it got a handful of views and not one offer.
???????
IMO ebay has thrown away the USP it had for so long, alienated the very people who made and sustained that Selling Point without any help of marketing plans by over-payed execs. He might sneer at granny's Hummel figurines but they still sold (at a VERY rough count) almost £1000 worth in the last week (on ebay UK only) and if ebay had left the market alone, instead of sabotaging it, would still be making ebay far more than (and more reliably) than Promoted spare parts for vintage Corvettes.
