Sales maybe the same but you are making less due to higher cost of everything. It would be nice to mention what categories were those sellers selling in that reported ease of selling. Autoparts category was heavily affected by glitches in the listing tool for days and days on and off which resulted in spotted sales . Sales maybe the same but there maybe no growth or much left over to reinvest as you are making less and less again more for fees, more shippińg, more gas, more tolls, more for items, more for electricity (plus junk fees ..) more for water (most of the bill is not usage) etc etc
Agree. Buyers get sticker shock when they checkout. I’m one of these buyers. I went to buy a $9 beanie that totalled $25 after shipping and taxes. I backed out.
Yeah, and then Janet ‘Harridan’ Yellin’ will come yellin’ at your doorstep demanding her cut of your money.
How did they determine who to survey, was it random or did they select sellers in their preferred categories like sneakers and watches? My sales on eBay are down 60%, with more than twice the items listed from 4 years ago. Luckily my sales are up on other marketplaces like Poshmark and Mercari.
Ya know, Over analyzing is the death of proper action.
We need at least 2 venues that charge no more than 3% on the Item Only.
eCrater is the Stellar Role Model.
With all the dopey kids involved in programing, I should think 2 are smart enough to know how to create excellent venues. They would be held up as heroes of the working class.
Right now you have disconnected, blind, deaf, selfish, greedy a$$holes at the helm.
ecrater can’t be found in Google Search. We need Google search to get buyers to our stores.
