Triple whammy eBay news day weighs on the stock…
I hate to interrupt the “FP30+Finding” series that I’m sure has everyone on the edge of their chairs, but there was so much negative eBay news today I need to break in and provide some highlights.
I hate to interrupt the “FP30+Finding” series that I’m sure has everyone on the edge of their chairs, but there was so much negative eBay news today I need to break in and provide some highlights.
As we get closer to FP30’s debut on 9/16, some interesting points are coming out about the new format, how it will work with Finding 1.0 and 2.0 (new search experience). There’s also a lot off confusion out amongst sellers. We’re hearing definitely incorrect information from sellers coming from message boards, pinks and sometimes even different messages from various eBay groups (the powerseller forums seem to be a great place to get bad info). In our webinar last week on eBay changes we were surprised so many of the questions related to FP30+finding.
This the first in a Saga of posts that will dig into various questions out there and also highlight some strategies based on the answers that we think will give sellers an edge going forward into this brave new world.
Why does this matter so much?
You may be asking: “why are sellers are so obsessed with this topic?”.
While working on tomorrow’s webinar, I re-read eBay’s Q2 results.
They reported that 43% of eBay’s business is now fixed-price.

Today we’re excited to announce the availability of StoreAdvisor Premium.
The team at ChannelAdvisor has been busy digesting and analyzing eBay’s announcements last week.
