eBay Rumored to Be Abandoning Platforms for Small Retailers

Rumors have yet again surfaced that eBay will abandon its ProStores and Magento Go services — both designed to make it easy for small sellers to set up their own e-commerce storefronts — as it focuses on large retailers and brands. On Friday, an eBay spokesperson told EcommerceBytes it wasn't commenting on rumors regarding ProStores. In March, eBay spokesperson Kelly Henry told EcommerceBytes the same thing, and added, "We're a customer-centric organization and any changes to our products and services will be directly communicated to our clients at the appropriate time and with their best interest in mind."
