|
|
eBay UK have just put out an announcement regarding “Global Shops Issues”. Here is the announcement:
We’d like to advise members of multiple issues with Shop Categories which they may be experiencing. Currently affected are multiple areas of a seller’s shop, including their Shop front Navigation, Promotion Boxes displaying items, Shop Category search, and the Listing Frame on their View Item page. This issue is currently affecting all sites. We will continue to provide updates where possible and thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this.
Personally haven’t experienced any of this – though a few people are complaining about their sales tap being turned off (not unusual in itself). Anybody know what’s going on?
Update: Aha. Slightly more detail from German-language sites: items are not appearing in the correct categories. eBay are working on a fix.

Simple fix:
Close your store and find a good alternative site. |

It's easy to be glib about other seller's problems when they aren't your own. |

Glib?
My response was serious.
The only way to get anything across to eBay would be for a large number of sellers to close their stores and become successful elsewhere.
And by large number, I don't mean 50 or 100 or even 1000. I'm talking more like in the MILLIONS.
JD and company are living in their own little fantasy world, where they truly believe that they can do pretty much anything they want, and the sellers may whine, but the vast majority will stay and take it.
But if millions of sellers simply started working at making money elsewhere, whether at an alternate marketplace, or with their own site, then perhaps even the giant eBay might notice the loss of revenue.
So no, there was nothing glib about my response. |
