I hate to say it, but it appears they have no idea where they’re going. They talk about Etsy, they talk about amazon, they talk about aliexpress - and then they say they want to focus more on new goods. From where I come from moving out of the niche you dominate and increasing your competing surface area (retail of new goods is, uh, crowded) is an asinine move. As to “millennials haven’t even heard of eBay” - what utter tosh. I and many, many others I know have used eBay since our teens, and I’m now in my 30’s. I’ve just furnished an entire house, from floors to fittings to fridge to furniture through eBay. Either way, if they honestly think they’ll succeed by trying to compete with amazon and Ali on their own turf, they’re deluded, and signing up for an express train to insolvency depot, where buyers loiter offering shady deferred stock deals for sick companies to harvest for corporate organs. They’d do far more for their brand by making the feedback system actually useful again. Oh, and their API is a world of hatefulness. Built an end to end integration for an ecommerce platform - stuff of nightmares. 2000+ page PDF API guide. Zero consistency in communications. Count from zero, count from one, can’t count here. Single shared sandbox for the universe. No support. Spontaneous deprecation. Never again.
