Chief Product Officer? Ebay only offers one product, webspace, and they do that very poorly.
Things will not get any better for sellers, no matter what.
With the recent exodus of sellers, then buyers (15% 4th quarter 2021), it’s not entirely unexpected that those “responsible” (if that’s a word that can be applied to eBay any longer) for the downturn in eBay’s fortunes would be seeking greener pastures, as they likely realize that there is no turning a ship like eBay without the cooperation of “all hands on deck”.
And even if they get “all hands” to help, it’ll likely be turned the wrong way!
