I've been at Ebay almost 15 years and I now get no views.
Summary: elephant_route expresses concern about eBay's shift towards catering to large sellers and the potential negative impact on small sellers, likening it to an oligarchic system. pjcdn2005, a long-time seller, argues that claims of eBay wanting to eliminate small sellers have existed for years and haven't materialized. elephant_route romanticizes eBay as a modern marketplace similar to ancient shipping ports. kh-phdan closes the discussion due to the age of the thread, inviting participants to start a new one if desired.
Well, without original individually made items and authentic collectibles you may as well forget Ebay and go to Walmart.
Also, the small seller is what keeps the free enterprise fair-capitalist system alive. Without them we are left with an all powerful handful of huge corporations that form an oligarchy. And unfortunately America, the home of modern democracy is turning into an oligarchy. Oligarchy has now become the new socialism. A handful of oligarchs control the masses. Fairness is being choked out by the very people who are supposed to ensure its survival.

·3 years agoI started selling in 2005 and ever since then, there have always been comments about eBay wanting to get rid of small sellers. If that was true, they would have figured out how to do that by now. I think it's safe to say that it is not true.
