Here are some of the comments/suggestions I’ve been hearing in my conversations:
- We could do a better job of helping sellers list in the right category
- Some of the categories need to be updated
- Completed listings history is invaluable in the buying and selling process, and 15 days just isn’t enough
- There needs to be a way to separate or filter for original items and reproduction/reprint items
- The eBay homepage could be more personalized to what you’re interested in
- We could do a better job of making you feel like you’re recognized and appreciated
- Best Match is confusing
- eBay Top-Rated Seller qualifications should be category-specific to take into account the nuances of selling in the collectibles categories
