It will help the diamonds but screw the small sellers. We will shop Amazon prime on that day as we have lost all interest in the glitchy Ebay for anything.
I’m sure Devin has been trying to think of a way to get the buyers to pay a membership fee. All he has to do is con enough sellers into paying for free, two-day shipping and his plan will roll out. He can call it “eBay First,” which would also be a good advertising slogan to convince people to shop on eBay before they go to a site that isn’t stuck in glitchville.
They have already rolled it out in Australia. It is $49 a year and allows them to get free shipping and free returns. Not sure how that will work with sellers who do not offer free shipping though. Ebay has finally gotten so desperate for money that now they are willing to con their buyers, their most precious commodity, out of theirs also.
It’s a moot point if a seller’s listing(s) doesn’t meet ebay’s “viewable” standard.
