What does it mean "if I want my items to be seen"? Does this impact normal ebay listings, what if someone simply wants to list items casually with no aspiration to be king of the world? Is something happening that will prevent items from being seen?

no chezzy, if you read the announcement you'll see that from end June sellers with TRS+ WILL have their items higher up the page when a buyer searches in 'Best Match'

the majority of savvy buyers already know to search with a more suitable search criteria, such as 'newly listed' or 'ending soonest' etc....

TRS was introduced a year or so ago for powersellers with the idea that their items would advance in search,.... ha ha..

now, they are introducing TRS PLUS... another hoodwink to get sellers to list with postage combined into the price (a nice little earner for ebay as the fvf is on the ITEM price --- which now includes the postage price) 😮

we all know there is no such thing as FREE postage, just Postage included in item price.....

I lost PS and TRS a month or two ago as I have been concentrating on looking after a sick hubby and not selling so much,  really cant say it has made much difference to me !!
