As a small time seller I feel like ebay caters to the mega sellers and promotes the ebay store as it includes a monthly fee. Their format discourages the small timers by pushing price drops on BIN listings, pushing the narrative on Best Offers and they continue to make me correct the numbers on repeat listings.
When doing searches with pretty specific keywords, I regularly get minimal results, then digging deeper get results with the very keywords from my original search.
When ebay does there "we wanna know what you think" crap, I let them know what I think and never get any feedback on it.
PayPal refuses to take their fees from the very transaction they're handling, but instead take their fees from your linked bank account. They insist that they are not a bank but do offer a credit card if your interested.
These seem to be "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" tactics.
