I just want them to notify us of our store's sales threshold. We all have a threshold that Ebay assigns us, that we can't go over in terms of sales, and Ebay should let us know what that number is. It's important for them to admit the truth.
@@JoeKyser I am talking about the secret limit that they won't let our sales go above each month. You might be limited to 2K per month and another seller might be limited to 4K per month in sales.
@Michael-fw5ef why even be secret when most sellers have a limit they know about? At least I think they do. That must suck to be one of those people. Makes you wonder why they wouldnt want to make money. I dont even know the citeria for selling limits. All I know is one day I got a message saying mine were lifted. I basically sell what I list. When I can afford to load it up I do. I couldnt imagine them capping me off again unless I was messing up or something. I mean if I became a liability and was trying to do janky things I suppose they would just ban me. I never heard of this throttling. I think if you are doing it how ebay wants you to and your seller rating remains high and you continued to be a top rated seller, you shouldnt have anything to worry about.I cant see ebay throttling sales on a top rated seller. Its counter intuitive to business. I can see it with a seller that performs below standards continously but had their seller limits raised prior for doing good. Without a doubt I can see that. Absolutely
Yep, the throttling is so obvious. I go above 220 sales for 3 months and you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be in a hole until it drops back below it again. Either that or hit my allocated $85 dollars a day magic ceiling for the month (which was dropped down from my $100 a day last year.) Whichever comes first. Yesterday I had a zero sales day, but as soon as it ticked over to midnight 2 sales came through. Nothing orchestrated there at all LOL I am pretty sick of feeling like a slave.
Seeing a seller’s name provides confidence in making purchases and also provides a sense of community. It’s a confirmation we’re purchasing from a unique individual not a faceless company.

I finally pulled all my items off ebay. It got to the point where I wasn't selling enough to make it worthwhile. Ebay is all about themselves and they talk a good game but behind the scenes they're constantly nickel and diming us to oblivion. It's like Las Vegas where some make the bank but the majority are just waiting for a nible that comes and goes like the tide. I m much happier now that I don't have to put up with their ridiculous antics any longer.
If they're going to do away with store names then might as well get rid of stores altogether. It's almost like they have a weekly meeting of the minds to come up with new ideas to screw their own sellers.
In Lindy's defense, she did NOT say she was not selling on eBay anymore. She said..."She is not selling on eBay FULL TIME anymore. Key word, Full Time. I didn't think of that title as click bait after watching the episode.
the thumbnail literally says "5 reasons I'm leaving ebay". it's thumbnail clickbait even tho the title does say the "full time" bit. not going to argue semantics and I don't blame her for still selling on ebay. i feel people take too many liberties with their thumbnails.
my sales have picked up a bit over the last 2 weeks or so. Not sure if it was because of eBay changing something on their end or me running sales and doing end and sell similar and I also accepted several low offers. Perhaps it was also due to to couple of days where I listed a lot. I sold a signed raw comic for $153, another raw for 51, and a slab for 100, a video game for 119 and another for 80, handheld Monopoly for 67 and on Mercari I made a 10 comics lot for a buyer for 170
Would I love is that ebay treats sellers like we're their personal customer service. Like buyers are our problem and not eBay's problem. We get questions all the time " I don't know how to check out," " I don't know how to do this," " I don't know how to do that"... ASK EBAY. I am not your personal concierge and we are not being paid to teach customers.
Twas I, And yes, it still works. Grab your coffee in the morning, sort by ending soonest and go through each one and do a check. Adjust photos, check category and specifics etc.. Category seems of higher importance now. And yes, you'll have to refill the specifics if you change the category. You have to! Grab a screenshot 1st and just do it. Also, only leave cheapest shipping option. Delete the rest. Seems Ebay prefers and shows higher priced 1st because they're generally faster. But, the customer isn't attracted to higher priced shipping.
I agree with Jack. I have those "send offers" from scrollers a lot. I check the send offers section daily, any of those that have no watchers, I just pay no attention to any of those. I find them very annoying. I do research for selling and frequently get "SELLER OFFERS", I also pay no attention to these. I thought your phone call to Jamie was real for awhile. Maybe you should think about acting. You did a good job.
thats because they added to the cart and didnt watch it. It happens to me all the time. i just add it to the cart to get the offers. never got one that wasnt added to my cart. sp Ihave never got any from just scrolling. I dont think it works hw you thought. make sense now?
@@JoeKyser no, it doesnt. I regularly receive offers for 5 seconds on a product page, viewing one item specific and not even looking past first photo. Certainly not watching said item. Seller offers are worth little, bc eBay lets you send them to anyone under the sun.

The buy one get one or coupon promotions are not showing on the listings unless you click on the listing. June was the best month this year. I reset my store every three days and ran multiple promotions at the same time. Also adjusted my prices up and down every other day. In all I had to work my store everyday just to get sales. Mercari was dead for June. I don’t think Mercari is going to be a viable supplement for eBay. The change to charging the Buyer service fees was a terrible decision.

I have sent a comment regarding not putting the seller name or store name on the listings. I do not like it at all. I have particular sellers I do and do not want to buy from. I don't like the idea that you have to click the listing to find out who is selling the item you want. I would like an explanation regarding why this change was made.

If people start creating page views in order to see who the seller is, that's going to impact the already-limited usefulness of that statistic in the seller Performance > Traffic page.
Ebay conspiracy theories are as wild as flat earthers. Just list quality items. LOTS of them- you will make sales. All the gyrations of tweaking things trying to "fool" an algorithm that absolutely no one understands is wasting time. Put that energy into finding and listing more, better items.

@@hayfro It doesn’t name the store on the search results page, but the store is there on the item page.

If they're hiding store names, they're probably trying to stop people looking for the same store off ebay. Pretty pathetic.

So I predict they may change the whole store concept to Everyone gets a Store (like Etsy) and pays an insertion fee
if they do that my days of selling on ebay the way I do will be gone. my listings would be cut down by 80% or more.
The reason my items aren’t on Etsy is because I can’t afford $2500 per month. This would kill several categories overnight, including trading cards.
