I have seen a lot of comments being made recently from long term ebay sellers who are all experiencing significant decreases in sales.  This seems to be a theme that is being replicated across the site as a whole.  

 

What is ebay's view on this?  

 

Lots of sellers are leaving the platform permanently.  Is ebay doing anything to drive up visitors to the site and help prevent sellers closing their ebay shops?

Hi @vjm-supplies ,

eBay are investing in the platform in new programmes such as authenticity guaranteed and providing new updates to the site. They have hosted roadshows for sellers in numerous locations all over the UK in the last 12 months and continue to do more of these this year. 1-1 support sessions are available at these roadshows where sellers can have have their accounts checked. 

There has also been lots of webinars run on different topics to helps sellers with their businesses and sales. Examples of these topics  have been creating a rock solid business plan, building customer loyalty, managing online retail in a recession, product photography fundamentals, getting great reviews to drive sales, growing your social presence on a budget and establishing a brand identity.  Please see our Events page here for any upcoming road shows or webinars.

Thank you,

Kat
