pick any 10 sellers and look at the # of feedback ratings 1mo/ 6mo/ 12mo...sales are WAY down. sellers moving to BONANZLE and other sites because they can no longer make $$ due to high eBay fees & demands and eBay is no longer delivering the customers. Listings are meaningless.
Nick at Jun 3, 2008 02:44 PMSellers are leaving ebay
I read on ebay's boards. Sellers are leaving ebay. No just by words, many sellers and power sellers including me are closing their ebay store and stop listing. I think ebay fake listing just to make it looks good for investors. I have read an article about new ebay CEO, he said ebay is the largest ecommerce provider but still look like FLEA MARKET! I sold my ebay stocks right away after I read that article. His intention is to drive ebay away from what make it so success.
Judy at May 28, 2008 08:29 PMBuy has over half million listings
The seller name buy or as it is commonly called buy.com has over half a million listings. Some titles just say NEW with no description of product within the listing, only a picture. Gobs of items in the wrong categories, and when asked questions, I received canned answers that didn't address anything in my question. Canned answers of no help are exactly what eBay gives its customers. A perfect fit, Buy and eBay. What ever happened to pride in a business and offering great customer service? I will continue to sell a few things, but this former power seller will never be one again, because I have lowered my listing volume. Everything pretty much sells only for opening price anyway, no matter how many items I list. It's sad not to get those bidding wars to drive prices up. It used to happen a lot. Has anyone thought how eBay's demise might hurt the thrift stores? I certainly won't be buying at them at the same volume.

Fact is they're getting tricksy on UK and Aussie sites... Germany is not happy... yadda, yadda. So, you must be applying some Clinstone mathematics to arrive at these metrics. You might be selling, but I ain't buyin' -thanks anyhow.
Truthsayer at May 23, 2008 10:49 AMeBay false reports
PowerSellers are leaving eBay by the thousands every day. Ebay continues to fudge the numbers. The stock will make new lows before new highs. Greatest short in the market with its daily high volume
RicRoe at May 22, 2008 07:26 PMeBay mis states listing figures
eBay is deliberately mis stating listing figures by adding listings from eBay Canada to listings in the USA.
The obvious examples can be found by simply browsing the DVD section and looking at the number of items with shipping listed higher than $6.00.
This is taking place in catagories across eBay.
The inflated numbers in no way reflect sales which eBay refuses to release, and with lowered listing fees, does not mean eBay is at all on track to generate higher revenues.
ska at May 21, 2008 03:30 PMListings are faked
If you drill down to find out who's listing more, ebay has struck a deal with buy.com to SUBSIDIZE thier listings. They are paying a very small cost to flood ebay with junk listings, so ebay looks like their listings are up by average users. Average sellers are leaving in droves. Check ebay's boards for more information, as an investor I'd want the full story and not just the carp that wall street puts out.
