After 8 Years On Ebay Im leaving
 

Over the years ebay made me some money..I got lucky found a niche and did sales of over 100k in my best months..over the last 3 years things have gotten progressively worse, buyers are unreasonable and fees were killing my business..Luckly I dodged a lot of bullets with my account being so aged and got the benefit of the doubt being a TRS & PS....many aren't as luck as me. As a good riddance to the game I thought I would pass on any info to readers...
Ask me a question....

It is easy to troll a newbie but I will be honest eBay has taken a hit over the past 10 plus years. It is not nearly as lucrative as it once was. I started in 05 when eBay FVF fees were like 3% if they went up to 5% you thought it was crazy. You could sell across the globe sure you would get a few scammers but the number of sales outweighed everything.

Today as a US seller atleast eBay is a shell of what it use to be. Once upon a time it was a great marketplace full of independent sellers. Now largely because of listing fees that is gone.

Overall I can not dispute what he is saying. eBay has lost its luster and we all know how Amazon works. I get f'd even worse for fees on Amazon then the metrics which are insane.

Sometimes when things get slow I do feel like eBay is going the way of the cassette tape or the typewriter.

Amazon.com

Has been for years.

Far more sales and far higher prices (at least on my inventory)
