eBay Favors Select Retailers, Sellers Abuzz over Ideeli
eBay sent emails to users on Thursday promoting a 2-day "sales event" for Cole Haan items from eBay seller ideeli. The email was part of a campaign for eBay's new "Fashion Deals" feature, somewhat similar to its Daily Deals. Just how did ideeli - a brand new seller with 22 feedback - get such great placement on eBay?
eBay's increasingly looking to put the fun back into shopping on its site, but in a way that would be unrecognizable to shoppers who hadn't visited the site in the last several years. Rather than promoting auctions and unique items, eBay is instead promoting bargain deals. Is it a strategy that can work for eBay, and where does it leave smaller sellers?
