eBay Is Dead

[pinball-fantasies]

I am thinking eBay as a selling platform is dead since the seller protection was added ? I wonder if eBay have notice the decline in sellers since new rules started . In my 20 years of selling on eBay Ive never seen it like this

I have 20 watchers on my account , most of them are still selling but their sales have fallen to almost to nothing over the last 2 months and a few sellers have gone from the platform , its like all the buyers have gone

I wonder if eBay have notice the fall in sales or do they really care anymore

Is eBay a sicking ship and now doomed ?

R.I.P What a mess up by Ebay they have killed the golden goose.

From the perspective of a part time private seller.

I used to sell my kid's Playmobil, and the odd train set, nothing special - perhaps £1000 a year of our own family 'tat'. I bought around £1500 a year worth of stuff from Ebay.

Ebay introduced Seller Protection, and the 48hr hold on payment in February.  I thought 'that's my lot, I'm not going to bother selling anymore'. More importantly, on 4th Feb 2025 I immediately stopped visiting the site and stopped buying items . (Bought 3 items in 5 months).

Ebay culled private sellers, but didn't think that those sellers are also buyers. Ebay is dead - to me at least.

Exactly like me, I have a perm job and pay my taxes, have done since 16,
worked from 14, never had a thing from the state

Is ebay dead, it will be with the money people are asking for old tree saws, don't they realise they need cleaning, sharpening and setting again, plus the handles need repairing and staining.

Just because something is old doesn't mean its worth top dollar.
