I just want them to notify us of our store's sales threshold. We all have a threshold that Ebay assigns us, that we can't go over in terms of sales, and Ebay should let us know what that number is. It's important for them to admit the truth.

@Michael-fw5ef why even be secret when most sellers have a limit they know about? At least I think they do. That must suck to be one of those people. Makes you wonder why they wouldnt want to make money. I dont even know the citeria for selling limits. All I know is one day I got a message saying mine were lifted. I basically sell what I list. When I can afford to load it up I do. I couldnt imagine them capping me off again unless I was messing up or something. I mean if I became a liability and was trying to do janky things I suppose they would just ban me. I never heard of this throttling. I think if you are doing it how ebay wants you to and your seller rating remains high and you continued to be a top rated seller, you shouldnt have anything to worry about.I cant see ebay throttling sales on a top rated seller. Its counter intuitive to business. I can see it with a seller that performs below standards continously but had their seller limits raised prior for doing good. Without a doubt I can see that. Absolutely

Yep, the throttling is so obvious. I go above 220 sales for 3 months and you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be in a hole until it drops back below it again. Either that or hit my allocated $85 dollars a day magic ceiling for the month (which was dropped down from my $100 a day last year.) Whichever comes first. Yesterday I had a zero sales day, but as soon as it ticked over to midnight 2 sales came through. Nothing orchestrated there at all LOL I am pretty sick of feeling like a slave.

If they're hiding store names, they're probably trying to stop people looking for the same store off ebay. Pretty pathetic.

This would kind of defeat the purpose of building any reputation with buyers.

Seeing a seller’s name provides confidence in making purchases and also provides a sense of community. It’s a confirmation we’re purchasing from a unique individual not a faceless company.

What was wrong with eBay's prior CEO why were they replaced with this MONSTER?

I wish eBay would just work on what needs fixed not other BS.

my sales have picked up a bit over the last 2 weeks or so. Not sure if it was because of eBay changing something on their end or me running sales and doing end and sell similar and I also accepted several low offers. Perhaps it was also due to to couple of days where I listed a lot. I sold a signed raw comic for $153, another raw for 51, and a slab for 100, a video game for 119 and another for 80, handheld Monopoly for 67 and on Mercari I made a 10 comics lot for a buyer for 170

I agree with Jack. I have those "send offers" from scrollers a lot. I check the send offers section daily, any of those that have no watchers, I just pay no attention to any of those. I find them very annoying. I do research for selling and frequently get "SELLER OFFERS", I also pay no attention to these. I thought your phone call to Jamie was real for awhile.

The buy one get one or coupon promotions are not showing on the listings unless you click on the listing. June was the best month this year. I reset my store every three days and ran multiple promotions at the same time. Also adjusted my prices up and down every other day. In all I had to work my store everyday just to get sales. Mercari was dead for June. I don’t think Mercari is going to be a viable supplement for eBay. The change to charging the Buyer service fees was a terrible decision.
