eBay for the New Year, where is it going in 2010?

So what is eBay in 2009 and when does it want to be in 2010, in 09 it seems like almost continuously they have a new change which as a seller has had me asking why?

Hello there! If you are new here why not subscribe to my RSS feed for updates on this and other topics.

So as we move into 2010 I am left asking how will eBay change in 2010, where is it going? You can’t fail to have read about the major brands setting up shop in eBay and I guess that leaves me asking where is this all going, is eBay simply going to be a place to buy branded goods at lower prices (sometimes) or just one big free for all car boot sale – for want of a better word, and it has to be said the world’s biggest!

Well I don’t know the answer to that question and with everything I read online I don’t think eBay do, as a private seller and buyer since March 2000 I can certainly say I have no idea.

I’m not sure anymore – and I’m not sure they are sure themselves anymore, either does this matter to me as a private seller? I don’t think so. If I was a major brand though I think this would be a different matter, as quick as the like of Debenhams and Tesco have jumped in they can leave and if you alienate the private sellers in the process that leaves eBay in a bit of a pickle.

Happy New Year everyone…..
