I am not denying but struggle to understand why they want to get rid of small sellers.

Why put all your eggs in a far fewer baskets ( albeit big ones lol) when by only developing reasonable policy & customer support ebay can have it all.

Personally as a buyer, if I want to buy from the larger stores that are now appearing on ebay I will go directly to that store either their own website online or hoof it to their nearest store!

Ebay for me is for the more specialised goods I find it difficult to source in Australia or in B&M stores. For those smaller Sellers who have treasure tucked away in their closets! LOL

JMHO but you are all entitled to it
