we are ‘tracking’ a dozen different items on ebay, waiting to be notified when someone offers nay of them for sale
we’ve had zero such notices in almost two months. curious, we’ve done some checking online and discover that many of the things ebay used to have MANY sellers of.....now there are none, or only a very small number.
it appears (very limited sampling, admittedly) that ebay has lost a tremendous number of sellers
we wonder if there is another website out there, especially for old ‘collectibles’.... that’s grabbing the market away from ebay?
insofar as ebay selling paypal, that seems to me at least to be a terrible business decision. in that the paypal franchise looks like it has great promise in a number of financial transactions and services niches
So now I do almost no business on there at all, except occasionally I will buy something there that is hard to find anywhere else.
