Experiences of a long-time private seller with eBay | Sell

I have been using eBay for many years and was convinced by the platform for a long time.In recent years, however, my impression has changed significantly.Due to the heavy automation of many processes, it has become increasingly difficult for private sellers to get understandable help. Restrictions on listing items are sometimes imposed without a clear explanation, and contact with a human representative is hardly possible anymore.Instead of individual clarification, you often get automated replies or canned text — often with a long delay and without any concrete reference to the actual problem.I would be interested to know:How are other private sellers currently experiencing support?Are there any working ways to get real help with listing issues?What role should private sellers still play at eBay in the future?I’m curious about your experiences.Wolfgang Cordes
