Interesting move as I notice many casuals really questioning how and why. Starting to do not only selling differently but also reviewing where and how they buy.

Hi S - Appears very much like during the pandemic and a certain payment pathway was offered for a period at no additional charge. Only when that period ended did users discover there was no stepping back…

Hi cataholik- Started with a confusing promotion for casual sellers which forced use of Ping and additional fees on the seller. Then additional promotions with set Ping use fees for the buyers. Promotion was just against specific categories but again that appeared untrue. I have no idea if ‘promotion’ and ‘experimentation’ ever intended to have ‘end date’.

Hi austinv8 - our family also left there. Family…extended.

AJ & S - you expect casual sellers to bother? We pay the same fees (at least the majority of the time), request promotions but are not of focus because data overlooks that.

austinv8 - casual sellers are not ‘core business’ for TM. It is no longer as it was originally created…and more a combined store search platform.

I decided to hold off relisting of unsold items, the Ping promotion to casual l sellers was fee paid by seller initially but then a service fee to buyer has come up. Neither are of interest to me right now so I will wait and check back in a week or so.

It is a current promotion. Another is service fee for Ping paid by buyer. Promotion is against specific categories from casual sellers.

Re AJ - expired listing is time consuming. Possible yes but requires good memory of title and category with ability to scroll and scroll. Account transaction history is easier.

Depends if you used promos or keep TM email history. Expired listing is a pain. Account transaction if promo used as history shows what you require. You just grab from auction number, promo pays in unexpected ways…
