eBay Listens to Customers, Retires Old Search Engine

I actually thought the title of this listing said retire new search engine on first glance. And I then said wow, maybe eBay is deciding to go back to that which worked.

Then I started reading and said OH! And then what!

The new search engine has never been wanted by sellers. All I ever hear is how people hate it. And I opted out every chance I got as a seller. Not intuitive at all. Terrible!!

eBay: Stock Fully Valued at Current Price

eBays successful action was a flea market on the internet which then grew into
other items for sale. That being new electronics, computers etc... .

This successful action brought them to fame, a very high stock price and billions of dollars of profit.

At some point, eBay decided not to cater to this successful action and actually, began to destroy it.

Instead of protecting and rewarding this base of sellers they began to punish this activity with policies that particularly and dramatically harmed directly this group.

There may be other reasons eBay has found its stock falling. But in my opinion, the biggest is actively destroying its successful actions with ignorant actions.
