Selling on eBay these days is depressing

I'm not taking sides in this debate - just asking for a friend.

Ebay is not going to flag your account if you were to complain however they will flag your account if they deem your selling practices as high risk. They aren't going to suspend you but they will place a silent limit on your account.

Oh I know all about silent limits, lol. I was just curious about that specific remark you made since it would probably lead to a class action lawsuit against them if they were doing what you said. No big deal.

Brand, brand, brand, brand.

I highly doubt that anyone could win lawsuit against eBay. Do you know how expensive class action lawsuit would be against eBay.

Most consumers today are not brand loyalists, especial if you are a small brand no one really cares about your brand in general.

No, but as long as a brand has a good reputation for quality, you'll have customers. Ebay is going to start utilizing their catalog more putting everyone into boxes. The cleaned-up search results will mean increased visibility and give room for small shops to shine. So I say brand, brand, brand.

You got a valid point. Let's hope it will come to fruition.

It's about time they do this.
But then again, I don't trust them coming out with a good system at least not immediately

eBay will never be Amazon, period. They will always be 5% of what Amazon is.

The process is unnerving... Tagged only one product for cataloging for now but the submission process is sketchy. After explaining I manufacture it myself and own the UPC they finally submitted an entry. Before that they took it as I was reselling someone else's product. Guess it's hard to imagine brands exist here. I do and don't look forward to the transition.

Wonder if AMZ would ever pull a fast one on ebay and introduce auctions. Or they'll see what a potential nightmare CS would be and avoid it all together. Won't be too long before you can buy AMZ life insurance.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Is it possible that slowdown sales are due to the summer season, when did you notice that ?

Leader2dark · #56 09-21-2018

I've seen a major downturn on eBay as well. Pretty sure smaller sellers are being forced out. They want to be more like Amazon. Good luck eBay.

**SaiJin** · #57 09-21-2018

If I were eBay I'd enhance my own market than try to be like someone else like Amazon.

Totally different market place.

But then again... neother amazon nor eBay are perfect.

I wasn't trolling YOU before. This post is about my only troll post, to my knowledge.

It is but also depends highly on type of market - many factors to consider

ashi · #66 09-22-2018
