Will eBay Logo Turn Up on More Products?

by: FeelingFroggy

I think the best logo branded item would be a T shirt with the back end of a horse showing and Ebay written on it. I would buy one in a new york second.

As for the rest of the junk art. NO THANKS I have enough toilet paper.

by: Rexford

Feelingfroggy, I would buy the toilet paper for sure, but only at Amazon.

Someone should buy a bar, then return it as not as described! (that would teach them!)

Sorry but I could not TRUST weight and purity of a gold/silver bar with the Ebay Logo. I'll pay a few cents more and get US issued Silver/Gold Eagle.

I'll buy anything that's collectable! Didn't eBay use to sell things before? Like coffee mugs and other crap with their logo on it?

FeelingFroggy and Rexford mentioned it first. I was going to say eBay-embossed toilet paper because the sales of most small sellers is in the toilet.

by: Rexford

iheartjacksparrow, related to sales of small sellers, I still believe that eBay has been implementing mission creep over the past few years, pulling a lever every year to push small sellers down a little further.  The reason that I believe this so strongly is that each time it happens, you see a very noticeable pattern of lower sales that don't recover. It seems to come once per year.  By next year I anticipate there will be no sales at all.

Will there be a new eBay commercial coming?

eBay as good as Gold!

Rexford is right. It's called attrition.

noun: attrition

   1.
   the action or process of gradually reducing the strength or effectiveness of someone or something through sustained attack or pressure.
   ''the council is trying to wear down the opposition by attrition''
   synonyms: wearing down, wearing away, weakening, debilitation, enfeebling, sapping, attenuation; gradual loss
   
2. a wearing down or weakening of resistance, especially as a result of continuous pressure or harassment

3 : the act of weakening or exhausting by constant harassment, abuse, or attack - a war of attrition

4 : a reduction in numbers

Sorry to go OT.

Id never, ever, ever in a lifetime buy anything with an ebay logo on it. It tells me that item is of lowest quality and probably fake and is lting about anything it claims to be.

@pace306

Actually the Gold is minted in Australia and the Silver in Canada.

2 trustworthy sources

by: Paul W

A recent eBay survey asked if I would buy eBay-branded shipping supplies.  I replied, No, in that I ship many things not sold on eBay and that two separate sets of shipping supplies would be inconvenient and probably more expensive due to the loss of quantity discounts.

Oh, yeah, the other source of most sales is eCRATER, with sales (still well below eBay) but doubling in 2015 over 2014.

I gotta say, at least EB is waking up to the "branding" part of sales that makes AMZ so well known.  Whenever I pass a UPS or USPS truck, 1/2 the packages are in AMZ boxes.  And of course, AMZ is doing the drone thing and other hardware type stuff.
EB doesn't have AMZ's money, but yes, I can see them branding.  Not a bad idea really.

Is Toolguy over his last week's tantrum with eBay, or as iheartjacksparrow writes, is Acapulco Gold involved?  No swap meet this week?

by: gizmo

I dont think Id buy ebay gold bars , likely find out later they are fake , or only partially pure. Anti trust issue for me. cannot trust a company which cannot be trusted. Why would anyone care? why would anyone buy Ebay branded , WHOOPIE !

by: FREDDY

Only those with more money than brains would buy gold from ebay.

Source may be legit but ebay is NOT.
