Like many who were hooked on eBay for more than a decade, I too, stopped using them altogether in 2009 after it was obvious that the 2008 changes were not going away. Since then, I come back to eBay when I’m looking for hard to find items you can’t buy off the shelf/rare treasures. At first I felt like the exodus of auction style listings in favor of buy it now listings was a huge killjoy. Especially because at first sellers began asking absurd prices. Sales were sluggish at best which further decreased the plethora of items rare and common to meh. But in recent years, the natural adjustment of the market has caused a bit of a renaissance period for eBay. While the listings are still predominantly BIN, the prices are more realistic and most sellers have added a bit of fun back into it by including “make an offer,” on their BIN listings. The eBay app is super convenient that I can fully keep track of what I’m watching, bidding on, what offers I’ve made and any counter offers, my winnings/purchases, messages, everything, is all right there in the palm of my hand. I will say the app is not that great from a seller’s perspective because some of the most important features, while creating a listing, and even just keeping track of sales (like the seller’s details page and the sold item and buyer info pages are not available through the app. This is a really big deal to sellers and honestly, it needs to be added to the app so sellers can offer as many or as few options to potential buyers as they like.
