Stricter controls on ending auctions earlier

relayer

eBay has come to the rescue with a tighter policy on ending auctions earlier, which is a good thing.

But of course they didn't do it to help the buying public, but waited until the day AFTER the instituted their new 1% reserve fee. Surprisingly, their recommendation to the sellers is to use a reserve on their auctions to avoid suspension.

HMM...I think eBay seller E.MIX needs to read that. He starts all his auctions low and closes about half early in the last minute when they don't get bid to what he wants.

Check out this sampling.

He's been doing that forever and eBay has never done a thing about it.

Now if he's beating them out of their 1%, I'll bet they may take an interest.

Russ- about three years ago emix got busted for shilling and got a 30 day suspension, along with all his shill accounts NARU'ed. He has been ending auctions early since then when they don't go as high as he likes. With their new policy, he isn't going to last long.

Nobody received an email with all these new updates? I did, at least a month ago. A dealer friend who does more in a month on Ebay than I do in a year, never received any notification. He wasn't happy.
