This is interesting:
“Nearly two million sellers currently manage their eBay business on Seller Hub."
That's a pretty small number. I wonder if that reflects the number of US "business sellers" on eBay and the rest are casual sellers.

I thought eBay already owned Terepeak. Interesting.
I bet we never get decent traffic reports now and eBay will try to push everyone into Terepeak (and collect the fees).

I thought eBay already owned Terepeak. Interesting. I bet we never get decent traffic reports now and eBay will try to push everyone into Terepeak (and collect the fees). I asked Kathy Terrill about this. She said she's been screaming up and down to eBay execs about getting traffic reports and nothing yet. I'd take a simplified traffic report over Terapeak any day! ETA: I won't be quiet to eBay about this either. I've put in my 2 cents to them even since Open about it. It's just the click of a button and a few keystrokes to try and get my voice heard. At least I know I'm trying SOMETHING than just not doing anything. I guess Terapeak will be integrated into our seller hub. Sounds like a little at a time?.?. "That's a pretty small number. I wonder if that reflects the number of US "business sellers" on eBay and the rest are casual sellers. " I take it as there are 25 million sellers. Period. (Global, full time, part time, registered sellers, etc. ) There are approximately 11 million in the US. And I'd venture to say a lot of those are casual sellers or registered with nothing listed. So 2 million, to me, seems about right. Especially if you're actively selling in the US - you pretty much have to use seller hub anyways. |

That's what I figured, which is why the number surprised me. They have a clunky simplified version which I suspect casual sellers use - I'm just surprised at the high number of casual sellers and low number of the rest of us (in the US).
I do notice a diminishing number of higher FB sellers (I mean over 800-1000) and an almost majority lower FB sellers (1-200 FB) in my researches - I don't check when they joined, I just notice them.
I've signed up and used Terapeak sometimes, but I don't find that it helps me that much, though would be a nice tool to have. eBay already has a two week frame available to users. I'd actually rather have search term display such as they have on Etsy's traffic reports, so I can see what terms shoppers are using - that's easy to integrate into traffic reports, which I'd rather have, also.
