I was wondering what Ebay will do if this happens. I have already suspended buying from the USA because of concerns with what is happening with the US Govt and really this just makes me glad I have. This would have a huge affect on Ebay as a business and I'm wondering what the Board is doing about raising a protest about it. If US Sellers can no longer send stuff and if US People cannot recieve, this will kill Ebay in the USA. Would this mean an end to Ebay worldwide. Project 2025 is all about cutting ties with the outside world and there are a lot of big corps that going to be caught out by this.
Cheers from Australia.

Sarcasm? Did I get it right? LOL

Furthermore, no announcement has been made other than Trump saying he is considering merging the US Postal Service with the US Commerce Dept. Apparently this may be illegal but I have insufficient knowledge about that.
Considering the billions of dollars given to USPS over the last few years (and the forgiven loan as well), the whole thing could probably do with some sort of restructure or change, but I have no idea as to whether a Trump-enabled change would remedy or further damage it. At this stage … it’s too up in the air; nothing is certain.

Sadly and alarmingly

·1 year agoI think everyone is wondering that.
I read that Musk is the richest person in the world and could give everyone on earth a million dollars without making himself poor. Not that I think he should, as it would not do any good as prices would just go up in tandem.
But he could certainly do a lot more for his country to stimulate the economy there and create jobs.

·1 year agoYou would need to ask eBay
I doubt they intend to do anything, just like everything else they do nothing about
Let alone raising a protest
Even if they did, Dumpster and Muck are not going to change their ways
