From October 2015 to February 2016, eBay was giving away 10,000 free listings to sellers with store accounts. This accounts for a large spike in listings but we may see the total number of listings start to decline if these listings are not renewed now that those sellers will have to pay the listing fees on them. Atomic Avenue's total listings are slowly climbing out of their most recent 5-year low brought on by a combination of increased selling fees and stricter selling metrics that removed some members (other members left proactively). Comic Collector Live continues to see consistent growth in their user base. Amazon's collectibles marketplace is too new to draw any conclusions - as is the recently-launched HipComic, which was officially launched in January 2016.
