Where have all the eBay Sellers gone?

Looking for your favorite one of a kind collectibles, clothing, books, etc?

Have you noticed that it's getting harder and harder to find your favorite items at eBay? The small sellers that brought you the best vintage, one of a kind pottery, china, antiques and hundreds of other antiques and collectibles are leaving in droves because of some changes eBay has made to their selling policies.

Stay at home/work at home moms who have been trying to earn extra money on eBay are finding it more and more difficult to do so. This is making it really hard to shop for gently used baby clothes, kids clothes and toys, very popular items!

These changes have forced most of our favorite sellers right off the site in favor of the huge sellers of mass-produced and/or drop shipped items.

So where did they go?

Well, dear readers, they moved away from eBay. Some went on to other auction sites called "eBay alternative auction sites." Some sellers even built their own stores either on marketplace sites like Blujay, eCrater or a fully hosted ecommerce site.

This lens invites former eBay sellers who have moved to such other places to add their links below.

I urge eBay shoppers to check out these sellers and support them in their efforts to support themselves. If you love to shop like I do, please visit these fine sellers at their new venues and buy from them there.
