Hi everyone,
I don’t know if this is for you, but don’t you also wish for a little piece of the old eBay back?
What did you love about the good old eBay days?
Maybe you’ve got some cool or funny stories, totally crazy listings or feedback.
I’ll start with the old designs.

·2 weeks agoI've been around here forever too, and sure, some things were better, but a lot of what isn't working well here also has to do with dishonest buyers and sellers.

·2 weeks agoHello everyone 😊
I’ve been here for almost 17 years now, and I have to say that, several years ago, things ran much better, and with almost everything. So I’d also really like to wish for a piece of the old eBay back.

·2 weeks agoHello @mmstore74 ! 🤗
I didn’t get to experience the good old days.
There was probably a lot more tinsel then. 🤔🤭

Good morning Peter,
I expressed myself a bit wrong and corrected it, because I didn't want to / don't want to badmouth anything here.
I just want to indulge a little in memories 😊

Hey Marc,
I can’t really judge whether Ebay used to be better or worse. There’s always been criticism of the platform, whether justified or not is another matter.
Unfortunately, various conditions have changed since then, and Ebay and other platforms have to deal with that.
And that will probably happen more often in the future, if I look at the political climate right now.
Best regards from the Baltic Sea to my old hometown
Peter
