I worked in IT for 38 years. I am convinced eBay must have the most inept IT staff in the industry.

[@Hdc2390]

Corrupt

[@OriginalNethead]

Trying to put a phone-friendly interface on a dinosaurware platform...proceed to disaster after disaster. I wouldn't be surprised if their core programming is in COBOL! Add in shareholders who must be appeased at all costs and...here we are.

inept and corrupt.

[@xokayb7l2]

I worked in IT in late 90s early 2000s and these fixes I can remember doing and probably do now with my community college associates degree.

[@uncommonthrifts]

Don I appreciate these videos you do. You validate my struggles with eBay and policy violations . Which is a great support to keep going because as you say, eBay is still even with all the issues, is a worthwhile site to sell.

[@SolitaryMaverick]

I miss the old eBay when you can list anything and it would sell. Now they want you to pay so that your listening is visible with promoted listings. They want to get paid twice and sell less.

All big corporations services/products have gone to crap over the last few decades, its a moral breakdown in society as a whole.

[@chriswhite2151]

This is ridiculous. So many big companies are just being utterly mismanaged and just keep going because they are too big to fail. (See Disney's last 5 movies)

[@treasurehunt7812]

The reason is because ebay is controlled by the same people who control all other corps in the US. The corporate leadership for all us corps were handpicked by blackrock/vanguard... agenda driven changes. Money is irrelevant to these people. They control whether money goes in or out of existence.

[@wiggiq995]

[@MaxRager80]

I have been listing very tame vintage adult magazines in the appropriate area on Ebay. I have gotten a few policy violations in the past few months, yet once again hundreds of people still have theirs up with uncensored pictures showing nudity. I loathe Ebay's biased bullshit.

[@RobRVA]

I refuse to sell anything on EBay any more. It's a nightmare. No seller protections at all. Completely geared to buyers in all cases.

[@kevinogracia1615]

Where's good places to sell collectables? Thanks.

Appreciate your input. Small potatoes here but I like being informed.

[@billyski6798]

I have been doing this business for a long, long time. I deal in numerous items, from A to Z, never had a major problem, but, I have numerous collectors who don’t even look at E-bay, I do shows, sell to malls, I do overseas venue’s. If it doesn’t work one way, I try another, and another, and another way. Anyway, keep plugging away, I will not do a E-bay store, too much hassle. Good Luck 👍

Thanks for the video. I hear ya on issues. Im going through 20-30 items a day end and sell similar to find out that there is missing information for shipping. No wonder why lots of my stuff isnt selling. But overall sales are still going. Keep up the good work.

[@se6586]

It’s a joke when customers can’t read a description let alone a title and then want to return items and it takes 2-3x the work to not make any money or lose money on shipping and eBay sides with the customer every time

[@DavidBrown-qd6bu]

EBay throws up so much other junk around our descriptions that the Buyer has a hard time even finding the actual description (e.g. "Customers also bought", "You may also like",...)

[@tpuck99]

I've been getting dinged for violations all of a sudden as well. One I wanted to argue was a bottle that still had the contents. About 100 years old. They said it was alcohol because it was a flask style bottle. I told them it was flavoring. They said cool, it's not alcohol but you can't sell the bottle unless I pour out the contents. I asked why and they said it was an expired food item. I said it was 100 years old. Nobody is going to drink it. Didn't matter. Okay, fine. Whatever you say.

[@jimmarshall5453]

sad.

[@Lucenator69]

how come they don't understand the #1 rule of doing business : without happy sellers there are no happy buyers i.e. no revenue ?

[@charlesmcbride9382]

We should all stop doing promoted listings. Only leverage we have with Ebay.

[@spacelord1913]

I could add to this list. Ebay sacked 9% of its workforce - makes me worried things are gonna get worse. The state of the coding of the website, and ease of use, is now beyond a joke.

[@deejayaxel1860]

My thoughts too 😮

[@nachocheesin]

Omg, I didn’t think this was happening to me until I checked half way through this video. I have 218 active listings on my “seller’s” page. When I go to my “shop” tab of my storefront and “filter” (all items and buy it now) to make it populate a number at the bottom, it says 139 for both categories. Went back to seller hub and went to filter out my active listings and the “buy it now” tab says 218. I’m so upset. Thank you for alerting us. Missing 79 items for a small seller like me is a BIG deal. I get if items have been listed awhile and they no longer end up on the algorithm’s search pages, but they should at least be showing up in my store. This should be more widely discussed. I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now, keep up the great content. Cheers! Edited for spelling

[@gbresaleking]

I was doing okay on ebay then they basically shut my store down and im having to relist everything, and now it seems like no buyers are coming across my listings I'm glad my poshmark store is still going okay now

[@charlesforeman9438]

Your shelves look amazing with all those toys on them and hopefully, you are fully up and running again after the big move. I have never been hit with any violations from eBay 'Yet' touch wood, but I got my first chargeback about 2 months ago, eBay did cover me as the person did have the item as proof showed that they had got it with a photo & tracking. I see glitches every week on eBay and it seems that they are never fixed. eBay these days is nothing like the company I joined 16 years ago, and it still seems to be getting worse by the week. Everything you say makes great sense, eBay seems to be pushing sellers to pay for this and pay for that to be able to sell on the platform much more lately. Thank you, Don. Charles in the UK.

[@oldgrumpytools98]

I listed an expensive WWII walkie talkie for $ 350, there were no views or watchers after 3 days and I did a search and mine would not come up. So I added it as a "promoted" listing and it sold right away, but "promoted" is another 11% fee on top of the 13-14% fee, so 25% was taken away because of an ebay glitch. I learned my lesson and after 26 yr's as a PT seller I'm done with ebay and will look at other avenues to sell.

[@nwmnjy]

I stopped using eBay shipping years ago. I use pirateship

[@acupofhappy]

I left ebay several months ago to pivot my business in a different direction. I sold my last ebay item on New Year's Eve. I cannot tell you the relief of not having to worry about these things anymore. It just wasn't worth the aggravation. Obviously, I had a smaller store, but left and every once in a while, I look to see if these things are still happening. boy am I glad I left.

[@homefry84]

I am in the same situation, finding great items that eBay doesn't want to sell anymore, Seeking out other avenues for sale of my militaria, coins, knives. Had my bovine horn listings taken down too, have you noticed the search not working as well?, I've noticed anything with a model number has to have quotes on the numbers, lego models, for instance.

[@mg2023faith]

I like how you said the key indicator was where the money ebay seeks to get is. It looks like the shift has been away from item sales to program/platform services..."eBay generates revenue primarily through transaction fees charged to sellers. But it also generates revenue through advertising on its platform. The company’s revenue in 2020 was $10.3 billion"

[@kencornwell]

I have been selling on ebay for a few years now. I appreciate your insight on the platform.

[@chaunceywilliams8405]

Have sold about 5k items on eBay back in 08-12. Have thought recently about starting back up again. But every time I watch one of your videos, I remember why I stopped. eBay was tough to deal with in 2012. It sounds like it's a living hell now. What platform would you recommend, that have sales? Love watching you videos. I miss those days of picking.

[@928Porscheman]

I tried to sell a few items that my Mother collected from the movie Gone With the Wind. I was told the items violated the code for racism. I told eBay that I searched for the exact same item and hit the sell a similar tab and let their AI create the description for me. They didn't care and the items were removed. I also have been using eBay for years and never had an issue until all this DEI invaded corporations.

[@user-fq1oj2tr3v]

What were the items?

[@JR-mf5rq]

We sell paper items in Collectibles. eBay recently started charging two transaction fees and double shipping when items with accepted offers are combined with items in the cart (items with no offer) on the final invoice. They used to be combined and our combined shipping rate was applied. Not any more. The customer pays once, so one transaction, but pays double shipping. Then we are charged two non-refundable 30 cent transaction fees. We ship the items together because the customer only paid once so they expect that. So we have to go through the hassle of partially refunding the customer for excess shipping. But eBay keeps both 30 cent transaction fees.

[@henrys3629]

I hate doing that to sellers, but they don't know how to fix it. I buy 1/2 what I normally do in case I don't get refunded.

[@ToyInsanity]

Ebay forced a $50+ refund without requiring the buyer to return my item.

[@WellnessWizdom]

That usually happens when you fail to respond to a return request.

[@debcomly2481]

Me too. $107.99. They kept the item.

[@Gary_Daytona]

@@WellnessWizdomSince when? They automatically approve a return if you have a return policy on, so you don’t have to “respond” until they send the item back to you.

[@lhs66]

Sounds like eBay is a buyer’s market then period. Keep mindful

[@ebaydrbrads]

Exclusive on ebay since 1998, I just started Amazon fba. I sense a class action suit in ebay's future.

[@yoomaannn]

The Class Action should be requiring eBay Sellers to contact eBay vis one of the Socials for support. I don't do Socials and because of that I am denied the ability to interact with people at eBay that have the ability to address issues promptly

[@zippie6]

The one I get hit with is the ones that I do get a "this listing has been removed, yada yada) and there are 20 other sellers with the same item. And the one that has haunted me for years is the item that sells months ago and somehow gets relisted and sold again. Oh and the old listings that they remove with no warning and I have no clue that they are no longer listed. Fun fun fun

[@Resellocity]

The thing that’s getting on my nerves is eBay seems to be moving in a direction of no longer having any seller customer support at all. I had an issue come up and they never responded to my emails. It took me over a week to even get a rep to chat with. When I called I never got an answer. When I finally got a rep to chat it didn’t help because they couldn’t even help me because they didn’t understand what was wrong.

[@boxcarchildrent.v.8477]

Love your videos you’ve helped me so much. Thank you for the knowledge means alot 👍🏽 ❤ 💰 (and yes eBay is wonky ☹️😵‍💫)

[@ataribowlingcgc4465]

Like you, I've been using Ebay since the beginning. I used to do 100% of by reselling on Ebay. Now, Ebay accounts for less than 5% of my sales. There are a lot of alternatives out there that are simply better. The last straw for me was when my listings were not showing up in searches because the premium promoted listings were being pushed to the top ane mine were being filtered out. Ebay has become an unwieldy mess.

[@mr.c4p]

fyi there are no "glitches" , it's ebay implementing things under false pretenses. they just say it's a glitch.

[@TurkeyCreekjackjohnson_]

Standing on one leg the whole video is amazing lol

[@winecountryfilms1]

For the first time I sold 3 items on eBay a month ago and they are still jerking me around with their own invented issues while withholding my money. I'll never, never, never do business with these incompetents again.

[@ljwhitmire200]

FYI, I have experimented with getting rid of offers. I picked two niches. So far my sales haven't been different without offers on those two niches. My sale overall are down 75% from last year, but since I got rid of offers on those two niches my sales in those two niches hasn't gone down at all. I plan on experimenting with other niches later. We'll see.

[@BEERLIGHTBROKER]

It's not ebay's site. It's our site. We built it with our hard work. It's a public traded company. Buy a share of the stock. Then you are a owner. I have come to the conclusion they are trying to run the website into the ground.

[@AK36677]

I've been saying that for a while now. The only way that would explain it is they're doing it on purpose.

[@BEERLIGHTBROKER]

@@AK36677 That is the only possibility.

[@cmills263]

I think Don knows eBay's policies better than most of the phone reps. I don't know the policies very well but whenever I have looked then up and called them out because they are wrong, it just goes now where, you might as well just forget it. I wish there was a platform that had the wide exposure that eBay has but with good seller support. It's tough to pay them all of these fees and they constantly find a reason that to NOT back you up, pull down listings that are fine and delete stuff that was damn well posted. One day its there and the next day, gone because yes eBay is glitchy as hell.

[@Gamer-dude247]

I have had an ebay account for decades (i am a UK casual buyer), only ever had one lost item (which was an import item from China) many years ago, but in the last 3 months i have had, ignorant sellers, broken items, lost items, wrong items, refusal for refund and extremely late items, i mean holy crap, i am never using Ebay ever again.

[@josephbrauchle7720]

I usually check sales comps before I list an item, find multiple that have sold, then list an identical item. Ebay takes my item down because it 'violates their policies'. Am I to understand that the other identical items already sold didn't violate the policy? I personally think Ebay's AI just grabs stuff at random and calls it a 'violation'.

[@tommasi7032]

Because of a few infractions ebay decided to take down about of our items. That was about 400 to 500 items. They sent the items to our e-mails. We took the items and put them in a file. After a few months ebay said we'd been good so we could put them back. However when we tried the pictures were gone, so now what do we do. We have the pictures on our iphone but to go through the items and match them will take forever. Their reason for taking them off was because we wern't selling enough. That doesn't make sence to me.

[@gailmcclendon7480]

Hi Don, one thing that started happening to me a few months ago is that if I list anything military, mainly photos in my case, ebay puts at least a 24 hour review hold on all of these listings whether they are new listings or ended and sell similar. I spoke to several reps about this and it wasn't until I spoke to the 5th one that actually took the time to ask me for the item number of one of these listings that they said yes that these are under at least a 24 hour review prior to being released and listed in my store. This is so annoying.

[@LannieLord]

One thing that REALLY SCREWED ME was - You used to be able to sell VINTAGE perfumes as "ANTIQUES" (not for actual USE) . That was great! I did really well with vintage perfumes ! Then they made a new rule : NO USED PERFUMES AT ALL,. No matter what. Sucks because Vintage Perfumes are pretty easy to find and many sellers ONLY know high end like Dior and Chanel.

[@HeartThrobFAE]

This is a topic of interest as I have decided I want to start reselling. Is this going to be a class action lawsuit? Have you thought about doing a video about where to sell for both online and in person? I have collected many things over the years and is time to change. I Appreciate you and your time.

[@paulmendelsohn5562]

YOU ARE CORRECT ON EVERY SINGLE POINT... I FEEL BAD FOR THOSE POOR AGENTS WHO ARE POWERLESS TO FIX ISSUES AND HAVE TO FACE COMPLAINTS OF THE PLATFORMS USERS.

[@stardust_memories2260]

I dislike paying for priority or FedEx shipping costs on returns that were originally delivered using media mail. And recently I was searching for some of my listings and half I couldn't even find. Frustrating 😠

[@dinacox1971]

I had them take down (with the warning 'not to relist') a TI graphing calculator because of the choking hazard with batteries!!!???? However, I see them sold all the time. Calculator batteries that might be in a calculator??? But watches that contain smaller batteries are okay??? What about legos for example???

[@jimmarshall5453]

I'd love to know what other platforms you sell on and what types of products move best there. Did you say you sell coins somewhere else? I miss the good old days when any ebayer could directly message any other ebayer. It was far more friendly and like a good family back then.

The problem i have is i do everything we need to do. Good product, good photots, complete listing and description. My feedback and DSRs are excellent. I am consistantly listing. Why do i go from making 800 a week to 200 and my traffic crashes? The best place to source recently is my garage. I run about 2500 listinga and this past weekend i pulled 23 unlisted item.

Fortunately for me the only items I was forced to take down was when I was started out and decided not to read the Vero list.. I ended up violating it twice with 1 item. I had a lighter that looked like a zippo so I labeled it that way. Zippo didn't like that. To top that off, it was also in a little satchel with.. wait for it.. VELCRO lol..

I am at the point that I just want them to stop making changes. Every time they try to fix it it makes it worse. I have given up calling customer service. I am hoping it gets a bit better, like a lot of people on here I depend on eBay for access to my customers. Just frustrating

[@cecilecorpuz5735]

I'm so HAPPY that I stopped selling on ebay several years ago! I now will sell on my own web-site where many of my former ebay customers are now purchasing from, many of which were ebay customers from as far back as 20 years ago. I will have no ebay fees and NO MORE ebay BS to deal with and my only fees that I will pay will be MY hosting fees for roughly in USD $ 22,00 PER MONTH! Later days to ebay!

[@stevedavenport1202]

Well, clearly, Ebay needs both buyers and sellers. Let's be realistic and see that Ebay is a mature platform, no longer in its wild west days of growth. Its activities are under the scrutiny of government and big corporations. As a result, more restrictions are being applied to buyers and sellers. What makes it hard for resellers is that the rules are not very clear and easy to comply with and always seem to be changing. This is why sellers with long tenure on the platform and a history of following the rules and treating customers right are losing their accounts. This is no way to run a business.

[@Kelly_surfdude]

The number of active listings not matching my seller hub is older than you stated. It first started for me on 12/15/2023. It's sort of fixed but still slightly off. Mine was off by about 8k listings.

[@user-lj4pc9tf3b]

Ebay is making itself irrelevant. Almost no appeal to the younger generation alone is going to kill Ebay. No advertising except ebay motors. It Is the most complicated of all platforms to post items. Search engine sucks. Now they want sellers to pay for Google ads on top of promoted listings. Raising all fees all the time is not sustainable. Losing buyers and sellers every quarter. Other platforms have issues but at least Poshmark, Mercari and Marketplace are easier to list on which is appealing to a lot of new especially younger sellers who think Ebay is dads or grand dads platform. Ebay is on the path to be like Tower Records, Circuit City, Kmart and the rest but in this case Ebay will be the first major Ecommerce site to be a past conversation.

[@tinawiththelakeexchange2093]

1100 tech employees at eBay lost their jobs yesterday. The platform in terms of basic functionality is too old, they need completely new software for better selling and buying experience. You can only put a band aid on so many times!

[@MitchRezman1]

I sell gun parts on eBay. I had an Item taken down because it DID NOT violate eBay policy but "it could be confused with other items that may violate policy" - you can't make this shit up

[@Resellocity]

I got a policy violation on a listing, but when I went to the listing it didn’t violate any policy. There’s a glaring red policy violation still showing up on my account, but eBay is saying that they don’t know what happened. The listing is saying that it was removed, but the policy violation is saying that the listing is still active. I tried to delete the listing, but it doesn’t allow me. It has to be a glitch.

[@s.f.8867]

I think AI is messing it all up.

[@Oatchi329]

I decided to try promoted listings. I applied to all of my items. The result.....my store died 😂 I ended up removing promote, but had to remove manually item by item. Fortunately, i only have around 800 items. I used to have sales almost daily, now I am lucky to get few sales a week. I am concerned that at this rate I may not hit 100 sales and lose my top rated status.

[@geo7660]

eBay has code on top of old code, needs to be completely rebooted.

They have ebay platforms in so many countries with different legal rules. I think this might be gotten to complicated. In my country the goverment made them to collect data for each seller (selling is free) for tax and checking if they run a business and are not allowd to do so.

[@greenerpastures1000]

As long as ebay is the biggest selling platform (except for Amazon}, they will manipulate the sellers. Competition selling platforms are the answer. Buy and sell on the competition.

If I remember correctly Don has said in previous videos that he doesn't source as much anymore and has several people that do it for him all over the country.

[@wesmuntz8797]

While listening to the quarterly shareholders report. EBay is implementing a 3-4 year strategy moving away from lower ASP items (i.e. below $200) as they are being crushed by competitors like Temu and Shien. We already see the evidence of the first steps with the emphasis of eBay motors with high ASP. For those sellers whose items average ASP's below $100 you need to plan your migration (exit) strategy starting YESTERDAY.

eBay let some staff go, they weak in terms of how they upgrade systems as break other things when they change things. Even Mercari seems simplified as antiqued as eBay keeps staying. The Vero stuff drives me crazy. Some companies treat there product like termination seeds. It wasn’t your ever even though paid cash for it. Wrong for me and will never buy the companies products and will encourage others to never buy their products. Had a food company Optiva treat their food like you need a “coach” to prescribe the food to you. Their food is ultra processed, it’s far from health food.

[@DrewM86]

Honestly ebay is the best place I've found to sell coins. They are really hard to sell local. Shops of course won't offer you hardly anything. Atleast with ebay you've got thousands of eyes. I'd just recommend giving good deals because if you'd go to a coin show or what not your going to end up wheelin n dealin there as well.

[@TheArtsLaboratory]

im interested on this

[@OriginalNethead]

In USA, British, Australian English etc, a "cow" means domestic animal unless paired with a modifier. Period. eBay can't read its own mother tongue! I ran into that one years ago and stopped selling bone items due to their rank stupidity. I did sell a pin made of horn - Scottish Highland Domestic Cow horn, to be precise. DIdn't do it twice though. I quit selling on eBay a year ago now, and every single time I think of getting back in, the inmates running their asylum think of another way to screw up. That's the news, and I am OUTTA there. A lot of older sellers are massivly diversifying, or bailing entirely and going elsewhere. Collectibles dealers are all over on Whatnot auctions. Younger sellers are using Drip instead. eBay can't seem to resist hosing their good sellers - their face has had its nose surgically reattached over and over. Sooner or later they'll be wearing a tin one and wondering what went wrong.

ebay has far more sellers and items than buyers at this point. sellers are disposable to them. their game is to limit sellers visibility/sales by orchestrating "glitches", hiding listings and so on.

Complaining to eBay is falling on deaf ears. I hope they get some good competition and suck ⚽️🎾🏐

Seems like all the decent sellers are moving off ebay letting the dodgy sellers in their place, now makes sense why i do not trust ebay any more as the decent sellers have moved on to amazon or alternatives.

Not listing "coins" like regular vintage coins that are on there by the hundreds of thousands? Or some different kind of coin?
