eBay’s concept of “easier”…saving the buyer or seller the nuisance of one extra click.
…and they need to write a treatise to justify that.
“Globally, eBay’s managed payments has processed more than $3 billion of GMV for more than 32,000 sellers as we shared in our first quarter earnings.”
Curious if the 80/20 rule applies to those numbers.
Lies, damn lies, statistics.
The only thing Ebay has in lasar focus is the money it will be able to take from you the seller. They no longer care if you make money. You quit and ten more sign up.
I just hope the friction of having to hand over a bank account and wait for payment and all of the bugs that crop up when H1Bs don’t do the needful is enough for enough casual sellers to not bother and negatively impact revenue.
If eBays Past is prologue, it will do nothing but increase earnings for eBay, with negligible to negative impacts on sellers.
