Lack of new members

Just looking down my list of sold items, there are almost no buyers with feedback less than 100.  I used to get members with feedback scores of zero or one, stumbling their way through inital purchases. My thinking, hopefully incorrect, is there has been a fairly  steep decline in new ebay accounts.

Unfortunately the horse has bolted for ebay - i hardly shop here anymore (bought 1 item in the last year just recently and have had a poor experience).  It's only the same old scammers left here - for everyone else it's the new ebay called facebook marketplace

You've got to be kidding. It's okay, it is another selling platform and there are no fees but it's not great for a lot of items and there are more drongos there than on ebay.

I had to laugh when i saw your post as this (see below) was recently on my facebook page. The woman commenting is in Vic, some of her friends & family are from Ireland. 

Seems the marketplace experience is the same everywhere.Smiley Very Happy

I usually get a 0 feedback buyer a few times per week on average and a few more under 10. Majority would be around the 50-150 range. 

My guess the 0 feedback buyers may be coming from google searches due to what they tend to buy.

I agree with Eol 100%.

 

And Google searches always bring in new collectors.

I'm laughing because this thread is silly because OP isn't happy that a zero feedback buyer isn't buying from them lol.

In my experience 0 feedback buyers are scammers (although not all of them) and yes I was one once but why would you be encouraging 0 feedback buyers and not stick with the established ones?

I block anyone with less than 10 feedback sorry but that's just me after what I went through!

And stawks I can still see that you called me an idiot hahaha.

Except eBay removed the block for low feedback buyers (which I wasn't at all happy about).
