Has anyone noticed if eBay has been hurt from New Policy Changes?
I have been watching the numbers on the PSU site for several months now and noticed Ioffers numbers have gone from around 1 million to almost 5 million and ebays numbers have only gone down into the 13 millions to low 14 millions range. Also I have noticed they seem to be doing a lot more Insertion Fee deals than they used to...hmmm...
So I read a lot of complaining, hard luck stories and threats of never using eBay again. I have been guilty of this myself. I got suspended for the first time in 8 years of being with ebay a while back and found this site which helped me get back on starting completely fresh.
I lost a lot when I got suspended. I was making $2,000-$4,000 a month off ebay and now I am darn lucky if I can make $2,000 as I had to change what I was selling as to not get caught again.
I really think it would not have matter so much as I could see the new changes coming and realized I was probably at the end of my Good Old Days anyhow?? So it doesn't matter.
I decided to not get angry, just watch to see what happens when these new policies take effect. Sort of like waiting for Y2K to happen..lol..
Well, I have made it a habit to keep watching and see if all the boycotts and hot talk of people would make a difference. I don't think it can really be seen with the daily numbers of items? Though what I would like to see is if the amount of money that was made from daily sales has dropped or not??
If ebay has lost lots of money due to that? Probably never find info on that?
I know it did for me and suspect it has for others as well. It seems like logic does not apply with ebay. All the new rules, price hikes and bad publicity has not taking as big a bite out of the giant as one would want to think?
Anyone else notice things or have things they want to mention?
