Rumor ... if there's one word a professional should avoid using then that's the word . Like rumor went years ago emovieposter got kicked off ebay because they used their employees to bid up their auctions . rumor went the usa was not a democracy because george bush got re elected through fraud ... rumor went ex french president jacques chirac was a frog ...

Some people think this is eBay's way of trying to hide how badly prices have been falling there. It has been discussed a great deal on eCommerceBytes.com Incidentally, every one of the prices on our database reflects a real sale where the consignor was paid the listed price, minus our commissions. I guarantee that. It is the easiest thing in the world to list prices that never happened on auction websites. Then, when the same item is tried again at auction, it looks like a bargain compared to the first (sometimes mythical) price. And now that so many sites have a "Make an offer" feature on sold items, they have an extra chance to sell those items they pretended to sell the first time. Rumor has it that eBay is on the way towards hiding ALL buyer information from the seller, too!

In the 'sold listings', it will show the original price, however, if one clicks on that item for original listing detailed info, the actual selling price will show. ad --- On Wed, 2/13/13, JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia <johnr...@moviemem.com> wrote: From: JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia <johnr...@moviemem.com> Subject: [MOPO] Sales Records To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Wednesday, February 13, 2013, 4:13 PM It goes without saying that the sales records that are published by Bruce and Heritage are entirely accurate. Well, I was very surprised to see that some of the sales records that ebay publish are not at all accurate. I recently sold some lobby cards to a customer in the US. I accepted his "Best Offer" through ebay on each of the cards and sent them off to him. However, I happened to check the listings and they are saying that each card actually sold for the original asking price which was quite a lot more than he actually paid. I thought this must have been a glitch but on the discussion boards someone said that sellers were complaining that the actual selling price was recorded when a Best Offer was made. The argument was apparently that buyers would expect similar discounts on all of the sellers items. A seller on the ebay discussion board said that, following the complaints, ebay decided to publish that the item sold for the original asking price rather than the actual price it sold for. In the case of the lobby cards I sold, the original asking price was 44.99 but I actually sold each card for 30.00 each. The listing which is there for all to see states that the item SOLD for 44.99 which is totally false. I would be interested to hear what you all think about this.
