Where have the Buyers gone?

[startrekker1701a]

Where is everyone?  Sales have dropped drastically sine the introduction of this new buyer fee tax and I find this really depressing to be honest.

This site is turning into a digital Graveyard, no actually there's more life in a Graveyard than on Ebay lately.

Sad how everything's gone.

Where to start, the BPF, promoted listings and the convoluted changes they keep making to the site and technical glitches. The update to their app which requires Andriod 10 or later to use it, or a more up to date version of the iOS will be another reason. I've an older version of Android, every other app I use is compatible with it, except eBay.

I'm guessing millions of users will have been prevented from using the eBay app because it's no longer compatible with their phones. Less people on the site browsing equals less sales.

I am watching 27 sellers on my watch list , out of them 27 sellers only 11 are selling , some of them are business sellers

I have defo notice sales have fallen and buyers have stopped buying due to buyer protection fee`s

Also listings have taken a massive HIT

In my 20 years of selling and sometimes buying Ive never seen so many negative comments both on here and social media Facebook , eBay is a sinking ship fast in my view unless they back track , they are nailing themself a big coffin

BPF definatly affects my buying psycology.  

in galery view and items is listed at the sellers price, but when you click on it you get the price+fee ... It's just a turn off. Just as much as those listings for a widget at 99p , but actualy it's 9.99 and the 99p is a "Sample" .  People don't like it when face value is not face value.

My gallery view shows the price I will pay, can you post a screenshot of what yours shows?

Seems something has filtered through since yesterday. 

One item that was showing £450 yesterday in gallery is now consistent with the item page at 465.72

Another item that was £60 yesterday in gallery is now consistent with the item page at £63.11

So something has changed for me at least over night. 

At one point I am sure I could see the BPF , for a brief while at least ...
