Have you changed your mind about eBay?

February 4, 2008 8:34am CST
EBay sellers have had a few days now to sleep on and think about and process eBay's announced changes in fee structure, feedback, powerseller qualifications, etc. Now that the initial panic is over and you've had time to make some decisions for yourself, what are you going to do? Are you going to continue to sell with eBay? go elsewhere? stick it out and see what happens? change any specific business practices? How are you feeling about eBay this week compared to late last week and what have you decided?

I will continue to sell my artwork on ebay. I have tried selling on other online venues and no other venues have worked as well for me, as ebay has. For the most part, I sell consistently on ebay. I will keep listing my artwork for sale on ebay. At the present time I don't know of any other auction venues that get as much traffic as ebay.

Glad eBay is working well for you. Traffic certainly is a selling point for sticking with eBay, no doubt about it. Thanks for the response!

I didn't know that Ebay made alot of changes on their site. I used to sell all the time on there but it got to be pretty overloaded with sellers and not worth it in the end. I still buy on there...mostly craft supplies, books and DVD's. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

As a buyer you'll see some changes in the way the search works and, if it works as eBay hopes, it should be better for you. The changes mostly involve fees that sellers pay, as well as the way feedback is left. Time will tell how the seller changes will affect eBay overall, but I'm hopeful that it will all work out well for everyone. Thanks for the response!

I am still going to sell on ebay. I am hoping that things will be better for us sellers. I haven't sold anything for a few weeks. Ebay is so crowded, it makes it tough to sell things. I am hoping that things improve, so I will stick it out.

It is crowded on eBay and, as mentioned above, a lot of people want something for nothing. I guess the key is to make your own products stand out and provide excellent customer service. Glad you'll be sticking around and hope your sales do well!
