Here's the deal - for many items on eBay, there's low starting prices which will almost entirely stop as the value is already relatively low and this will result in the price reducing (almost giving it away) or doubling for the buyer which is overpriced.

People will just change to Facebook Marketplace and offer for a set price.

A few years ago, eBay tried to copy Amazon at the expense of private sellers and then had to reverse much of that. Now they are pretending to be Vinted and this will see a slump in many areas used by private sellers (particularly in the collectable areas) for many items.

I hope that the board enjoy giving profit warnings....

""high value enthusiast buyers" - generally defined as buyers who shop on eBay at least 6 times per year, spend at least $800 per year or those who also sell on the site."

For a while there I was spending that much per QUARTER in the jewelry category. Unfortunately, It was NOT in the "vertical" portion of that genre that had any 'authenticity guarantee' or anything like that. My reward? My buyer ID got placed in forced "auto-pay", which did away with combined items for one shipping price. I guess I wasn't ENTHUSIASTIC enough.
