Did ebay lose over 51% of it's listings?
Permalink  

According to the chart at PSU, ebaY has lost 51.89% , over 75 million, of it's item listings in the last 24 hours.

hmmmm. the charts at medved are broken at the moment, no data shown for a few days now.

I'm guessing this is a 'glitch' with ebay's feed or PSU's charts. Doubtful this could happen spontaneously without some massive policy change etc, like disallowing stores in core or quite a few diamond level sellers quitting cold turkey

The charts at auction news dot org show basically the same numbers.

So pretty safe to believe that there is a major "glitch", "test",  or an unannounced policy change. (which, of course, are all completely interchangeable terms in the ebaY universe.

Medved charts now show data. The figures show the drop.

The question remains what caused it?  This drop is many more times the number of listings any specials may have caused to be added, so it's not due to any special deal listing expirations.

JMO, it's very possible that the counts were inflated all along. You'll see the disclaimer at medved concerning the numbers being off since way back around when ebay got caught red handed with the sdc padded listings affair.

I see that the numbers have risen again to near (actually slightly above by around 5 million) their former levels. PSU nows shows

152,833,745 (# of listings)  2029189

(up by) 1.35% - February 20, 2012 8:08 am

 

But I'm still not 100% convinced it was just a 'glitch'. I don't believe anyone is. Could be any number of things. Including a hack job. ;p

I see 2 explanations given. One at auctionbytes, the other at PSU. It would have been funny to see what ebay's story would have been.

I notice that no one wanted to make a peep about this until after the finance world was alerted. LoL.

As for sleazebay's mysterious rise in stock share price... well remember that Donahoe dumps massive amounts at the end of every month, so they always pump it up in time for that. After everything we've found out about the criminal finance world and the 1% fraudsters pimping our county (planet) out, never doubt anything.
