I would guess if you stopped most people in the street and asked them “Do they like change” a very large proportion will say no or not really. And only a few will say yes we like change or do not mind it. But like it or not change happens. Now I am going to be honest with with at times when change happens the reason we do not like it is because it takes us out of our comfort zone. We are happy where we are and when things around us change we need to change to take these changes on board.

But as with anything change will happen. Just think you are reading this article on a computer, 15 years ago it would have been in a magazine or newspaper, but because things change you are now reading it on a computer, but since the computer came out that too has changed and thats to people like Apple with the iphone and ipod touch, and other phone companies some of you will be reading this on the phone. All because of change and the fact the people were will to take on board and embrace change and move with it.

So what does this have to do with your online business and selling platforms such as eBay and Amazon. Well from the second you signed upto these companies to help you sell your items on the ecommerce platforms that sites have been changing. Some of the changes you will have seen as in the layout of the site and how the site feels and works. Other changes will have been to the code and the programs they use to run the site, these you will not know or see.

But other changes they do you will see, feel and know about and it is these changes that some people get so worked up over. They shout, they complain, they leave bad comments and some even say or do leave the site. but by doing that who are they hurting ? Yes ok on the surface they may be spitting fire but at the end of the day it is their business they hurt. They will jump from platform A to platform B. But when platform B decides changes are needed where do they jump ?

Sites such as eBay, Amazon, etc, do not wake up and say hey lets make this change today, to upset our sellers. No the changes have been thought out over a period of time. These sites need to keep all sides happy. Sellers, buyers, shareholders etc. At times sites may seem to favor buyers well yes as if there were no buyers no one will sell.

Changes are made after a long period of working out and thinking, and yes we may think why have they done that change, but a few months down the road a little light will go on in our head, and we will say now I see why that change was made. The changes will happen, as sellers we need to look at them and apply them to our business, and move on. And build bigger and better businesses because of the change.
