Jay,
I was just wondering if you or Ryanne might have had the opportunity to follow-up with ebay about your case and the fact that is a Guaranteed Delivery case before an INAD case which means you guys should be covered and not lose your money.05/19/2018 at 9:11 pm in reply to: New Catalog Based Search & Ebay's Re-Structured Business Model Plans #40421Sonia,
I think ebay’s collaboration with big business to bring them online, the fact that it has been identified that 80% of what is sold is new, and the examples provided under the Product page sections (https://pages.ebay.com/seller-center/seller-updates/2018-spring/inventory-optimization.html) are tell tale signs that the emphasis will be on new. So, in my opinion, used and pre-owned will still be on the platform but as ebay continues to roll out their changes, I think pre-owned/used listings/products will not have as high of a standing as they once had which may cause listings to be overlooked or not viewed at all.

Actually threads do get pushed down based on the amount of time has lapsed since the post. Only the most current top ten are available at one time. All others are available by clicking on the main Forum link and then reading through or searching through each forum and the links. That takes time and intentional effort.
Let’s view this through the shopping experience. Buyers do not want to have to search for what they are looking for which is why ebay is working to prioritize what customers see by establishing individual profile and then providing individualized ebay shopping pages. What is known is that if a customer can find what they are looking for and is able to price compare in the moment they see the item, they are more likely to make a purchase and possibly continue shopping than if they have to spend a bunch of time looking for something they want by going through multiple pages and listings.

Taken from page 5 of the report,”We also began testing a new way of searching on eBay called Grouped Listings, where for the first time in our history
users are able to organize their search results by product, instead of by listing, at the click of a button”. As this gets further implemented, this is how listings can get pushed down in favor of product based listings especially if the focus of those listings is on new items which ebay reports being at 80%.05/19/2018 at 8:16 pm in reply to: New Catalog Based Search & Ebay's Re-Structured Business Model Plans #40413MyCottage,
I just want to offer that they have not completely rolled out Product Based Catalogue listings. There are only certain categories they are currently implementing and then they are going to be adding categories which means more items will be product/category based. I read that directly from them. If I recall correctly, it is in the Seller Announcements.

Sigilini,
While I do not know exactly what they are facing as ebay technicians, I do know that an old platform (and the programming that went into it) can face real challenges in bringing current technologies/programming into it. If you had to go through a small process to update your listings to make them mobile friendly, I can only imagine what it would take to make the platform completely mobile friendly without seller intervention. Remember, mobile friendly means taking into account tablets and phones and the technologies used on them. Technologies change rapidly and in order to stay mobile friendly, the programmers have to keep up with the various opearating systems (PC with (Windows, Linux) or MAC (Apple), tablet, and mobile) in order to get each platform to “talk to each other” and ensure compatibility.

Sigilini,
I have been thinking about this too and am thinking that maybe the undertaking of having all listings be mobile friendly is not something they have taken on because it may not be on the list of programming priorities with the multitude of other programming needs. Maybe because they have something in place, they let it be, fix it as needed, and focus on other areas that are more pressing for the platform.
I am just thinking out loud here.
