sellers have dissappeared

[hdskutr]

wondering about ebay.ca, seems as if many of the sellers including my saved sellers no longer show up on my searches. anyone else find this??

As soon as my inventory is gone I'll be disappearing too.

Although I must admit, I was excited and incentivized when I saw the recent "Start your Trading Card listing at $0.99 to save big!" and "No Selling Fees on Gaming Consoles*" offers.

As far as other sellers go, I bookmarked every seller, and some buyers, that have ever jilted or me.

Most of the buyers are no longer registered, but all of the sellers are still active as of this morning.

Yeah!

On another account, active since 2005, I have 105  buying FB.

All but three of those sellers are still active, most with over 1000 FB.

The three unregistered sellers are from the earliest buying pages- some 15 years agon.

Anecdote is not data.

On this account, active since 2003, I have 222 buying FB and 15 unregistered sellers, mostly before 2014 and possibly before 2005.

I don't think a <10% drop out rate (which may include accounts eBay has closed, rather than the seller)  is unusual over a couple of decades. Especially given that many sellers here are mom'n'pop businesses or people cleaning attics and settling estates.
