Doesn't eBay have stockholders? Are not stockholder pretty much only interested in MONEY? How can ebay hide the fact the sellers that they shut down are not paying their fees? Which means less money and less buyers, from the stockholders eyes?? I realize the stock value has fallen and continues to fall as of this date and might mean something or it might not.
For some reason when I try to think logically about larger concepts than myself I can not seem to predict what would seem to be logical.
For instance, If you saw the behavior of greed in a local business or a person, you know they would not last but when it come to Large industries it seems to continue to thrive? Oil, Electricity, Governments, eBay....etc etc.
What makes the difference? Is it just they have so many interested bodies all involved that it's strength is in numbers rather than if it were one entity?
I just can not understand how ebay benifits from shutting off sellers who have significant selling history? If I buy something I always look at the sellers history and feedback before I look a the price. If it seems to good to be true I hesitate. My chances of bidding are lower if the history is not so good. This would means less chance the seller will make a sale. Less fees for ebay to collect on meaning less money. This also would seem to tell the seller they are not making enough money at selling so they stop selling.
But then again maybe it is like gambling addictions? The more the seller is not selling, the lower they are willing to drop their price to make the sale and/or continue to get further in debt with listing fee's just trying to sell their item thinking they will make it up later on a bigger sale?? And so eBay makes their money on the multiple tries and the higher FVF when the items finally sales?
There has to be some means to the madness no matter what. You don't just get as larger a GREEDbaY and not have a strategic plan even though it seems there is not one.
