  1. Sorry Fleabay we have done all our christmas shopping already. Amazon got all our money. Prime shipping is great. You lose. Prices to high. Can’t find anything. To many chinese sellers with the same duplicate items. Just not an overall good feeling shopping on fleabag. Maybe next year if I live that long.

  2. eBay launches a campaign using a special eBay landing page featuring a curated list of deals eBay wants to showcase to buyers: https://www.ebay.com/deals/

    Meanwhile, when eBay “updated” seller stores, they completely removed seller promotions from appearing on their own store page. ( as ECB reported store changes back in May ➽ http://bit.ly/2EXUFa8

    Any markdowns or other promotions a seller is running doesn’t appear on the store page at all (among other store downgrades and botched search).

    To recap, eBay takes away a valuable store feature such that sellers paying for a subscription can no longer feature promotions on their own stores. Then, eBay uses a similar feature to showcase its own cherry-picked wares as ECB reports, “closed to the majority of third-party sellers and offering heavily discounted commodity goods.”

  3. This is the first I heard of it. I never got an email or anything promoting this.
    Obviously they are trying to get sales for their “coveted” few but i have heard nothing about it.
    My wife watches TV a lot when she is not working and she has not seen any eBay ads.
    Again another bunch of BS from eBay.

    eBay = Dead Man Walking
