eBay Sell-Throughs at all time low
Recently eBay opted to artificially increase listing counts by inviting Mega retailer Buy.Com to list on it’s venue and listings jumped by approximately 500,000 plus
I suppose the Wall Street was not happy about eBay’s shrinking listing count so they had to do something about those dwindling listing numbers.
It was proven before, that when you clog up the venue with lots of duplicate listing and eliminate the ‘uniqness’ factor by purging the smaller sellers who carry the special one of the kind inventory, the overall sales will drop. Since all the new changes took hold, we have been watching the Medved chart which tracks eBay sell-throughs. The sell-throughs on eBay appear to have reached all time low.

Will low sell-throughs have impact on seller and share holder retention? You Bet!
Yahoo has a busy forum for eBay stock holders, not many happy campers there:
