Trouble in eBay Land

by Tim Berry on June 30, 2008

There’s trouble in eBay land for entrepreneurs. If you’re already doing business with eBay, you probably know this already. If you’re not there yet, but you’re curious about it or thinking about it, you probably want to click over to eBay Live–So Why Is Everybody So Upset, Anyway? on StartupNation. That post is a collection of videos, with a summary, that highlights the problem very well.

I was shocked to see how things have gone. I was at eBay Live last year, in Boston, and although it seemed a bit slower than the year before in Las Vegas, it was still pretty much hopping. I had to miss the annual eBay sellers’ event this year, and I’ve been busy with other things, so I didn’t realize how bad things have gotten.

(With thanks to Steve King of Small Biz Labs, who posted eBay Sellers Express Their Unhappiness.)
