Yup. I think the o.p. is on about the selling price discount offers from sellers though. Sometimes quite substantial discounts.
I read it as EBay themselves are getting desperate rather than sellers.
This is partly true as the marketplace has new players coming in. TikTok is coming fast and it’s going to be huge. We launched last week on TikTok as they are throwing huge sums at it now.
EBay are trying to move to an Amazon type set up by doing fulfilled by eBay but it’s not working.
EBay try to incentivise private sellers with £1 listings or 80% off etc.
They incentivise businesses by lots of other methods.
they incentivise buyers by offering them discount codes which can sometimes be used against select sellers or on anything at all. Funded by eBay
