Now that the trade war has destroyed my eBay business, I don’t see a point in maintaining my anchor store subscription of $550 per month. My sales have collapsed and it doesn’t look like it will be resolved any time soon. Are we still on the hook for these huge cancellation fees, on top of losing all our sales?
Im at the same stage. But many think i run as a business cause i have over 2000 listings and store lol. I only have the so called Basic Store Subscription in order to be able to list more then the 250 free monthly allowed then paying 40 cents per extra listing after the 250 monthly limit. I have noticed past 4 months i had ZERO views on 1800 items, so that speaks volumes that 1800 items have not had 1 view in 4 months and imagine if i was to be paying 40 cents per each listing. Ebay has lost its touch and now with uncertainty on tarrifs will make it more worse for many hobbiest and small business and buyers.
I can relate to what you're saying. I had a large inventory of cards at one time (lucky for me I sold most during Covid). But so much goes without views. The elephant in the room however is the algorithm that gives preference to COMC and others like them. This is why this tariff and duties issue is so tough because it becomes a two front war between the algorithm and the slow creep of rising shipping costs. Hate to be a downer but I don't see anything positive from this. My local marketplace for example is flooded with cards and a lot of high end stuff because there are so few options to sell right now.
