Most of my friends and younger brothers friends have used eBay to sell second hand stuff and buy tickets for various events. I have never heard of Etsy.

I am not a great fan of ebay but if you want to shift something second hand its pretty effective.

A handful of people do not make a trend. However, I feel the comment on eBay being abandoned by under-30's is one of those statements made by someone living in a tech bubble and not in the real world.

eBay isn't hip or cool. That said when you want a good price for something, whether buying or selling doesn't matter. You want a good price and you don't want to get conned. eBay nails both of these.
