Aliexpress increases ebay listings (and Amazon). Facebook Marketplace competes with kijiji/craigslist. Doesn't really compete with ebay. Amazon, Wallmart take brand name product sales. Ebay is left with what is rare. Ebay's problem is shipping.

Would you be to expand on why EBay’s problem is shipping?

  Most people are stuck paying USPS rates. Amazon’s network of delivery crews is/will be cheaper. And ebay shippers can’t consolidate shipments. They’re stuck at many-to-many. Amazon is one-to-many.

  I think shipping is where vendors push price markups. One price like Amazon for shipping would change the game.
