Seller Disadvantage

Sellers face significant challenges with eBay's return policies, often resulting in financial losses due to forced refunds and fraudulent buyer claims. The platform's bias towards buyers undermines seller trust and loyalty.

The AI-driven customer support system is inefficient, causing delays and frustration as users struggle to resolve issues that could be quickly handled by human agents. This inefficiency leads to dissatisfaction and wasted resources.

Notification Issues

Users experience unreliable notifications, receiving alerts for irrelevant activities while missing critical updates like sales confirmations. This inconsistency disrupts user engagement and trust in the app's functionality.
