Ebay tried a few different ways to counter that, but
they weren't successful, so they started charging commission.
Another reason may be to get the same kind of sellers Amazon has,
and condition them to no combined shipping discounts, and all
about speed and flow of new inventory items retail. Ebay wants
that kind of sale to increase and take their cut from it. It
seems a lot more Chinese sellers are doing that with ebay
than on aliexpress.com.
The original sales of antiques collectibles origin of ebay
is maybe going away because those sellers get such a raw deal.
Etsy.com is a start at competing with ebay in the collectibles
category. 35 year old scopes kinda fit in that one!
