I really believe it all has to do with how much money you're pulling in
for eBay. A few months ago, when my numbers went south, they started nailing
me with B.S. that had never happened before. If you make them their
money, they'll leave you alone and give you the perks...if you don't... then
axe
comes down.
Bunch of mealy-mouthed scoundrels as far as I'm concerned. They don't
give a good goddam if you have 12,000 positive feedbacks and rate 100%...once
the sales slump off, they go for the throat...

I am waiting for eBay to offer to PAY sellers to list items, and even then
I would have to think long and hard about listing there.
I know some people love it, but it is not my cup of tea. They have added
so many anti-seller rules that I would be petrified after every sale, both
that I might be scammed out of my poster, and that the buying might leave
bad feedback for me and restrict my account.

We got the invite and are selling original movie art & Star Wars items.
We do not sell cheap repro & reprints.
We sell only original art -- well, we do have copies, but these are copies
made by the production and are vintage, production used art work.
Our prices are less than what prop store sells art for -- i.e., an
original pen, ink & marker concept sketch of Judge Hershey (in her Judge's
uniform, with Lawblaster) sold for $89. That's screen used, original concept
art
which, at commercial movie prop/memorabilia sites, sells for over $400.
We have Giger signed art. Not up, but to be listed, original art by Chris
Foss for Flash Gordon... original storyboards & concept art by Alex
Tavolouris, the first concept artist hired by Lucas for Star Wars...
All original, not cheap repro...
Of course, we had other items, like the British Quad Star Wars which ---
got STOLEN!!!! -- anyone remember this story???? Missing Quad probably was
sold by Heritage, but since we got 2 of each poster, our other Quad remains
for ebay auction...
Plus, a lot of high end items have sold at a BIN auction within 30 minutes
of listing. Some within 5 minutes of listing.
Of course, the 50K items does not apply to us because we are selling
vintage items and end up paying UK listing fees anyway.
There's no free lunch -- or at least, legal free lunches.

I got the invite, but not to list 50,000 items. I haven't sold anything
on Ebay for over a year.

Hi MoPoers
eBay currently has a promotion running where many sellers have been
offerred up to 50,000 free auction listings for about nine days up until Aug
31.
This has resulted in some sellers flooding the site with cheap repros and
reprints. The crazy thing is that the offer has been sent "by invitation
only" and it seems to have been done at random. Store sellers are not eligible
so anyone who has a store would be seeing a big drop in sales while this
promotion is on.
Just curious as to whether any MoPo members received the invitation to
list 50,000 items on auction.
Regards
John
