People have been saying this for a decade or more.

I currently like this eBay environment. There is a lot less crappy sellers. The prices are a good bit more that say 2019 and buyer problems are a lot less.

Fees, they are slightly less for me in the USA. But I completely understand it can be brutal in other parts of the world especially after exchange rates.

People say this, but in my market, there are TONS of sellers selling ⊗⊗⊗⊗ goods, consistently. One new account after another. Most of which were probably bought on here lol.
