Ebay is already dying a slow death I think
Based on what?
I used to follow a few ebayers on YouTube, but I haven't watched in a while. This summer eBay ended it's contract with Paypal and is now doing "managed payments" through eBay. I don't know the details, but seems a good number of sellers aren't liking the system and higher potential fees. There has been other things like promoted listings with hidden fees and stuff as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the clothing and accessories sellers move to places like poshmark. A lot of the resellers of new products are moving to Amazon. If they can get approved they do Amazon FBA (fulfilled by Amazon), and they just send their merchandise to Amazon and Amazon will ship it for them. Of course there are costs with this, but they don't have to ship themselves. There are a ton of reselling websites these days.
I don't know that eBay will die, but it's definitely going to change in the next 6-12 months with the new payment system.
