If you really want to chase buyers away... let sellers list the same over-priced inventory for several years in a row. I sell in the coins category... there are listings from pre-2010 that are still running under the many versions of "forever" listed.
PLEASE put a time limit on listings and end ALL the listings that started pre-2015.
Laziness does not sell!
Some of these sellers haven't even logged in during the past 2 weeks! 2 weeks is a long time to ignore your inventory.
New listings drive sales. Buyers can see that eBid doesn't have many buyers... and it's basic human nature... they ask "what's trending?" and eBid responds "nothing on our site so go elsewhere!"
eBid has to be on the brink of financial ruin because there are few sales to generate revenues. This is obvious and I have a college degree in economics.
End ALL the old listings and make the sellers create new ones (put a 'can not be relisted' stop on those old listings).
If it's not worth the time and effort to relist these old listings from scratch... then ending them was the best thing to do to INCREASE eBid sales.
Thank you for listening to me. There is no charge for my advice, but I could certainly sell my advice to you at the market rate.
I predict that a few of the lazy sellers will respond and hate this idea. Laziness. That's what's behind the lack of new listings.
