lol is there another company on the planet as large as eBay that has so little expectations? These numbers are crap once again with yet another GMV loss, while Wenig does the usual earnings spew. But eBay gets celebrated and the stock is pumped after hours. Does eBay really think this racket they’re running which is squeezing everyone for ever penny they can steal is sustainable while GMV continues to decline? When will sellers finally wake up and stop taking eBay’s abuse? When that finally happens eBay will be in a heap of trouble and won’t be able to continue fabricating results as they do.
BS, ebay charges a fee on sellers who recieve a return! Also you get a strike. Ebay fees and visibility games caused Q2 to be a diseaster for most power sellers , i know in Pa. Squeezing the life out of sellers is causing ebay to lose the brightest and the best veteran 20 year sellers. Quality goods are disappearing and the AI Algorithmic search system was disigned by Morons, with 22% accuracy of returned listings. ebay has lost its glow, end days are closing fast.
I would not be surprised if it’s because of the GTC mandate. They’ve been pushing these free listing promotions left and right but, with their dismal sell-through rates, I’ve only been able to use the auctions. No way I would list 500 fixed price listings only to be slapped with a relist fee a month later when nothing sold. The only way they’ll get my GMV up is to do a free listing promotion every week, because they sure as hell aren’t going to do anything positive with my sales.
I’ll just keep plugging at the local shows, so someday I don’t have anything left to collect dust on poorBay.
