Sun Jan 17 2021 19:59:19 By: Ina Steiner Sponsored Link When some eBay sellers panned a new report designed to help them improve their listings, an executive acknowledged it was a work in progress, even though it doesn’t appear eBay advised sellers of that fact when making it available to them.eBay executive Harry Temkin touted the new Listing Quality Report during a podcast published on Tuesday, which he said was currently available to approximately 30,000 US sellers.”This report goes well beyond just telling you how much you’ve sold.
