eBay is hands down the worst selling platform on the internet today. It’s a bloated, broken system run by corporate parasites who haven’t evolved in over a decade. They don’t give a single damn about sellers — especially resellers — the very people who built this platform from the ground up.
Let’s be real: their metrics system is a joke. Outdated, irrelevant, and punishes sellers for things they have zero control over. A buyer doesn’t pay? Your fault. Delivery delay caused by the courier? Your fault. You could be running a perfect store, but one wrong move and they’ll tank your performance. It’s pathetic.
The new delivery posting interface is straight trash. Confusing, inefficient, and clearly made by people who have never sold a single thing in their lives. It’s like they went out of their way to make it worse.
And then there’s the Promoted Listings scam. You’re basically forced to pay eBay to get seen — but joke’s on us, because even when you do, it barely works. You hand over more of your profit for less visibility. No keyword control, no targeting, no insight. Just a black hole that eats your money and gives you nothing back. It’s daylight robbery.
eBay isn’t a marketplace anymore — it’s a greedy, bloodsucking machine. They want maximum profit with minimum effort. Seller support is non-existent. Feedback systems are broken. Their customer service is scripted nonsense. And the people running it? Useless. If I were a shareholder, I’d fire every single exec, bulldoze the boardroom, and start over.
They’ve forgotten one basic truth: without sellers, eBay is nothing. But like every other soulless corporation, they’ve traded community for cash grabs. And now they’re bleeding users and still too arrogant to care.
If you're thinking of selling on eBay — don't waste your time. There are better platforms out there that don’t treat you like trash while rinsing your pockets.
eBay is finished. And they did it to themselves.
