My Ebay premium store renewal date recently arrived, below are 3 reasons why I decided to downgrade my Ebay premium store to a basic store.
Raising totally top tots has never been easier, cuter or more fun than with the Tip Top Tots Compilation Set! Included sets in this compilation are: the Top o' the Tots headwear collection, the Animals Abound set, the Animals Abound Playground Bed and Bath set, the Animals Abound Playground Outdoor Fun set, the Wild Wears clothing set, and the Solace Snugabunny Baby Swing! January 2010 in The Sims 3 Store General Discussion So I just installed sims 3, and was perusing the exchange, looking for items to add before I start playing. Well some download, and some give me this message, along with a red circle that is crossed out.
Beads and jewelry components used to sell on Ebay like mad! I was always very busy selling and making money on Ebay in my Ebay store. I did this successfully for over 12 years, and had lots of fun selling on Ebay.
But increased rules for Ebay sellers have made it not such a fun and friendly place to do business anymore.
Why I downgraded my Ebay premium store
- Ebay is overcrowded – For my main product and category, a quick look shows 350,000 listings on Ebay as opposed to approximately 51,000 on Etsy.
- DSRs (Detailed Seller Ratings) and Defects – I was not against the Ebay DSR until the recent inclusion of defects and making sellers responsible for the post office or delivery services. Additionally, if a buyer asks a question it’s a potential defect automatically. You are much better off if the buyer does not contact you, which is totally backwards since communication is a big part of relationship building with customers.
- Ebay slow sales – Over the past few years the sales volume has rapidly declined, either from the overcrowding or the newest skewed search engine.
In my humble opinion
There is no point in paying premium Ebay store fees for sub-premium sales, while also being held responsible for things I can’t control (a shipping business and customer questions).

I did not wake up one day and suddenly decide to make this change, it was made gradually over the past few years as I watched my Ebay sales decrease while my Etsy shop and my independent website had growth.
Want to try selling on Etsy? Get started selling on Etsy with 40 free listings. It’s a great community and they give you tons of information on how to be successful.
Do I really need the Ebay store anymore?
Yes, I want to keep a presence there since some customers really enjoy making online purchases via Ebay. My Ebay listings will be a small portion of my top-selling items or recently found “treasures”.
Perhaps with a smaller store inventory I will be able to figure out the Cassini search engine and implement changes that will work better for the future.
For those Ebay store sellers scratching their head about having slow sales on Ebay, here is an article that might help to get your inventory seen on Ebay.
