In the last 12 months, eBay has increased auction-format listing
fees, final value fees, launched eBay Express, significantly increased
eBay Store fees, and made numerous other changes which have severely
impacted many smaller sellers’ businesses.
eBay’s target inventory has been steadily moving away from the used
market (other than antiques and collectibles), particularly with the
introduction of eBay Express.It is not really surprising that some smaller sellers are looking
elsewhere to sell their items. There is a competitor, and it’s in a
city near you.Online classified sites have been around for a long time, and over
the past few years, eBay has increased understanding and acceptance of
buying online from an individual seller - something most people would
not have considered before eBay emerged. Enter CraigsList, Backpage,
LiveDeal, the Oodle classifieds site search tool, and other online
classified sites.
There’s a New eBay Competitor in Town, and This Time It’s Local.
