Has ebay Abandoned The Collectibles Market

If ebay has abandoned the collectibles market did they do it by omission or commission?

Omission versus Commission is blurred in some areas. By using small sellers fees to subsidize Diamond sellers; resentment by small sellers is inevitable. With that resentment that turns to anger creates action.

If a seller feels anger at a entity ( ebay) the action most likely is to strike out at the offender. Usually by leaving or indifference.

With this comes fewer listings and that starts a downward spiral of product and a self fulfilling actualization . Less product equals less sales.

Take the not level playing field with a glitchy search , fee changes, starting and stopping programs the effect is a commission of policy that has slowed the sales of collectible items on ebay by some sellers. No real numbers just thoughts and considerations
