Bracing for eBay's Upcoming Announcement?

There’s a buzz in the eBay seller community, in anticipation of the ‘major’ announcement to be made by eBay on Monday (August 3^rd). This will be the second announcement this year, and following April’s, which saw changes to listing layout, the introduction of Multi-variation Fixed Price listings, Smart FAQ, and changes to the dispute resolution process, sellers have every good reason to be bracing themselves for the announcement.  

Nothing is certain at this point, but eBay CEO, John Donahoe has been reported as suggesting two upcoming changes to Wall Street analysts, and the Wall Street Journal published an article on Saturday suggesting a number of expected developments. There’s also a great article at AuctionBytes with a number of changes that they predict.

We’d be very interested to hear from eBay sellers like you, about how the changes announced last April have affected your eBay business, and what developments you’d like to see announced this Monday.

What’s your take on all this? Sound off below.
