Sense???

Re: Sense???

Exactly. Well said from someone who clearly has and exercises common sense. Glad to hear us "average joes" don't irritate you by watching your items, for whatever reason.

My auction clearly stated that the item will not be sold for less at the end of auction if it did not sell. I could not have been more clear or honest.

I guess everybody has their own viewpoint...

Exactly, when I sell on Ebay I lower the BIN price all the time. I usually assume an auction with a few watchers and no offers is a few bucks away from being sold.

Don't sellers sometimes lower their Buy It Now price? Maybe that's what they're waiting for. I watch items all the time that I want to research or think about. If the seller lowers the price, it might make it a much easier decision.

You're dealing with the general public. That means Joe Average, the guy getting the 'C's next to you in high school.

I resemble that remark. I got "Cs" in high school.

It is much easier to add to a watch list now, because it doesn't go to a second screen and delay you.

Re: Sense???

I think you are missing the point: This was a buy-it-now auction. What are they watching? There is nowhere to go... You either buy or don't buy... I don't get it - there is nothing to watch.

Re: Sense???

I have a number of items on my watchlist. I would love for a seller to come to me and complain about my watching their item. I would gladly go watch something else and spend my funds elsewhere.

Re: Sense???

skyking-I am right with you my friend.I never understood that when i used to sell on ebay.Why you would watch a buy it now item.I always hated that as a seller as it gives you a false sense that you'll be able to sell it.And what even got me more upset is when it was (like i always did)a buy it now or best offer.Just make a offer.And as a buyer i never watched a item,if i was interested,i would bid on it.Anyways,i don't know why i keep responding to threads about that place saying i have been doing a shelf boycott for about a year now,since they went to paypal only.And you are right,ebay or what i called it-"garagesale bay" is all about getting give away prices for items.But items like a potatoe chip that looks like bush get big money on there.Man,i hate ebay-EBAY IS A JOKE.

Re: Sense???

RK,

Those 7 watchers are probably ebay employees who have tagged your auction while they brainstorm an 11th hour managers meeting over pizza and try to figure out a way to justify the shutting down of your auction.

To them, listing your item for a "But It Now" and stating that you are listing it low, at break even, so it will sell...... just has to be against company policy.

Because it just makes too much sense.


Have I mentioned lately that I hate ebay?

Yea, all I'm looking to do these days is slim down the collection. I bought the mirror at $250 in 2005 and just have no room to display it really. As is the case with several items, I'm not willing to lose $$, but break-even and offering to drive and hour and deliver it to your door isn't apparently good enough. Many friends have compared ebayers to tire-kickers, and I see why. If you are not willing to "give" and item away, it won't sell...
