Ebay is Killing itself and me, and a lot like me. A simple look at my or most likely anyone with a store's Sales Reports shows a 50% drop in visitors, which of course translates into the sales drop....There is a simple guide to fixing a computer that says, go back and trace your steps as to what may be wrong...I did not change my store, my listings or my products...you folks at ebay, changed: Ebay Express (which are not my customers, I sell older items, not all new, so I may be listed, but those buyers mean absolutely nothing, except waste of band width to me (and I'm sure many of your buyers), you have publicly stated (besides price increase) that store has lost their place in searches and it shows (approx. 25% less sales since this was done in the spring and now 33% with the acceleraton and attendant publicity), and finally allowing corporate sponsors to pull people away from the ebay shopping experience to Yahoo, Google etc...while killing keywords and the building of stores. Congratulations to Bill and Meg, they have actually achieved the death of the stores in less than a month...hope it works for Wall Street, cause it doesn't for your customers (Sellers) ooops we aren't your customers anymore, are we...anyhow your answers are a very good indication of focused thinking (similar to Ebay's entire rationale this fall)and missing the big picture. Items add up, maybe it's not just the Ebay Express, but it is part of the problem, a large problem.
