My mom is an old school Ebayer. She has had a small home business since 1999 on Ebay selling mostly small antiques (jewelry, clothes, dishes, etc).
She says that Ebay has "flatlined" because there are way too many people on there now. When she started in 1999, there were 2 - 3 million listings on Ebay. She says now that there are 137 million.
They’re really cooking the golden goose that once was Ebay. Ya’ don’t suppose the Feds got in on the act, do ya? Hmmm...
There are some really sad posts on that board. I’m glad I got off the major Ebay selling a few years ago. Ebay has just gone to hell. It used to be fun and flexible.
