eBay can now show the shipping cost tailored to your zip/postal code, and shows it up-front.
eBay is an undertold story in failure (to innovate).
For sure, still a going concern, but odd of such a large company taking the Craigslist approach of “let’s stay small and just do enough to keep it working comfortably for all of us”
eBay practically invented online shopping at scale and had a huge head start but failed to maintain marketshare.
It’s still the catch-all for products that don’t fit in other marketplaces. For me, it’s a place to buy a lot of Amazon items but at a lower price (at some convenience cost). Or niche/used items. Amazon has overly regionalized (sometimes I can get items in Canada from Amazon.com cheaper than amazon.ca for example), while eBay is still a generally global interface.
