New eBay Changes Catering To Big Dog Sellers
Pity the poor Mom and Pop seller trying to make it on eBay.
eBay is instituting more changes today to stack the deck against them and shore up the more established larger vendors.
As first reported by the Wall Street Journal, eBay will be dinking with its algorithms in its search engine to favor new products.
Additionally (and more outrageously), eBay may even out and out limit its “Featured First” product position to top sellers only.
Sellers will also be able to stuff pages with more product pictures (and in bigger sizes).
Features used to personalize pages (big sellers don’t have time for such nonsense, while for the little guy; it’s their edge) are reportedly going away.
Also going away, apparantly; some of the features used to connect buyers and sellers in communicating back and forth.
Big time sellers don’t have time for all that one-on-one down home talk.
Again, personalization and relationship with customers is Mom and Pop’s edge.
