The changes are working OK for me but I dont know if they will
ultimately be a good thing for eBay. Sellers who take the time to
work out how the system works can manipulate their listings so that
they appear high in the searches. However, most dont have the time
to work the system and their listings become lost. Many sellers have
given up on auctions and now just concentrate on fixed price listings.
The big problem for eBay is that they keep changing their
groundrules. The end result is that they have lost many great
sellers like Bruce and Rich and others who have set up successful websites.
John is correct. Bruce and I have set up successful websites : - )
but he's right otherwise also. people are gaming the system and as a
buyer - the site is a pain in the a$$
I wish I could:
1) filter out the sellers who never list anything I want and yet
weekly relist their items making me take more time to look at the
auction listing. just to click a button that says "hide this seller"
would be great
2) get rid of the people selling repros in the originals category
3) send each non-poster seller a tutorial on how to pack posters, so
that the super-rare wc I found for Dylan's Don't Look Back which was
an ebay treasure won for $1.99 and was nice & flat, does not get
shipped in a bubble envelope that the post office used as a conveyer
belt bumper panel before forwarding on to me. Yeah she refunded the
$1.99 to me.. but the poster went from $250-350 down to $25
I'm sure I have other suggestions.. those are the main gripes
