I agree and I think ebay have tougher and more competition now also with what Donald trump has done in the middle east, people are not spending the same. Im personally working on google, shopify, Facebook market place and WhatsApp more, pininterest will be next. But with bills to pay, im constantly stressed out about my daily payouts. I also think ebay has changed the way listings are ranked and shown up and as a high rated seller myself, this will go against what customers want as sellers with much worse feedback scores are ranked higher and under cutting. So this will provide more negative experiences for shoppers on ebay as they do not offer as good a service as I do ( im not trying to be arrogant) but I take it seriously and try my best. So ultimately there will be more in happy shoppers on ebay. Also some sellers are swindling royal mails service by only paying for lower weight postage options than what their items actually are and they get away with it! I know this as ive purchased from competitors! So this may explain why theu can sell cheaper than myself.
