What could POSSIBLY go wrong
They tried to be Amazon (all the cheap chinese tat)…they tried to be a luxury goods outlet (watches, bags, trainers)…now they’re trying to be IKEA? Ebay should stick to what they are known for: second hand/vintage items, collectibles and so on. There are other places for everything else already.
