Pros

A digestible environment to be in. Unlike some other companies I've worked at, this was very much chill compared to some of the dog-eat-dog worlds I've been in. People felt like they were working together with you hand-in-hand, and you could create genuine bonds and relationships with those around you.

Cons

Reorgs all the time. I averaged about one every 6 months. I guess that's what happens at a dinosaur of a company. Constant confusion on who's doing what, oftentimes with teams you've never heard of apparently doing the same thing (or trying to). Frequent directional changes, and in recent years mass layoffs.

Pros

-easy to start and list items -cheaper shipping than retail -high demand items sell quick -make extra income

Cons

-customers / buyers that put in Cart but never buy. eBay does not survive on window shoppers and neither do I -low demand items can wait for years -need a ton of inventory, but high demand as possible, otherwise you will probably fail like me -buyer fraud - trying to get your items for free -competition where some sellers have items selling way under what you are selling for and they do not seem to care about profit at all based on how low the price is (ie: books) -buyers don't leave feedback especially if you are new, so it makes it really hard to get going -scammers but not a whole lot, definitely if you're new tho
