The problem is the site, no one knows about it, many people cannot even get their regular customers to come over to wp, and basically the site is not buyer friendly.

I was thinking exactly this today. After being told (not personally but in the constant board reminders) to 'check your products, price, shipping' etc as though there was something wrong with the sellers, I literally started to question if maybe I was doing something wrong. Then all I had to do was sign in to eBay and realize - nope, my sales are super strong w/ the the same product and HIGHER prices, lol.
The problem IS with the site. Unfortunately, some of these poor sellers are blaming themselves somehow thinking they're not doing enough or not doing it right. Similar to an abuser/abusee relationship where the abuser in part keeps control of the abusee because they are able to manipulate the abusee into thinking they MUST be doing something wrong. Damn scary in my book.
Edited to add: Is abusee a word, lol? If not, I'm too tired to fix it - I think y'all know what I meant
