IN THIS LATEST PERIOD, SINCE SPONSORED LISTINGS AND AUTOMATIC PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGNS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE, WE ARE INCURRING BIG LOSSES.FOR US SELLERS, THE IMPACT HAS BEEN HEAVY.SPONSORED LISTINGS PUSH ORGANIC ONES DOWN.IF YOU DON’T SPONSOR, YOU LOSE VISIBILITY, AND IF YOU DO SPONSOR, YOU GET EATEN UP.SO IT’S A PAY-TO-PAY SYSTEM THAT I DON’T LIKE, BECAUSE WE STILL PAY FOR LISTINGS WITH A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION AND THE OLD EBAY STANDARDS HAVE BEEN LOST.MANY ACCEPT HIGH SPONSORSHIP PERCENTAGES JUST TO SELL; FEES GO UP AND REAL PRICES NO LONGER HAVE A MARKET.WITH THE DISCOUNTS SUGGESTED BY EBAY, THEY DON’T TAKE REAL MARGINS INTO ACCOUNT:FEES + SPONSORSHIP + OPERATING COSTS.THERE IS AN ILLUSION OF INCREASED TRAFFIC WITH MORE VIEWS,MORE PROFIT AND ONLY AN INCREASE IN COSTS PER SALE.SO AUTOMATIC CAMPAIGNS AND PROMOTIONS ARE AGGRESSIVE FOR US SELLERS AND THEY ARE DESTROYING US
