Not a shame at all when eBay still feels like 2004 but not in a good way. I'm honestly perplexed it's only 9% because it's such a terrible service in 2024. I recently tried to sell a small item on my >10 year old eBay account with loads of reputation and had to go through a dozens of KYC hoops and was still declined. Not to mention the ungodly UX.
For real. Recently re-activated my eBay account after 10 years to buy a relatively obscure item and amazingly it is almost exactly the same site that it was 20 years ago.
I guess there's something to be said for not chasing infinite growth, but eBay and Craigslist having their lunch eaten was entirely predictable. Not sure how many employees eBay has, but it feels like they could lay off 90% and nobody would notice. They're already coasting off the grid.
