Without looking would you say if your feedback was the same as Bowers and Merena it was good?

I personally think they are one of the top auction houses but would you say if your feeback was as good as theirs it was good?

Not necessarily. A lot of the more prestigious and reputable auction houses just can't seem to do eBay right.

The auction houses have horrible ebay feedback because they live in the real world and ebay has developed a world where buyers expect same day shipping--preferrably free, infinite communication, and no charges for any of it. Heritage doesn't fit in, only halfwits like me will work for those terms. --Jerry

No... many ebay buyers just don't understand how auction houses work.

But that means it works both ways. Different customer bases, different sets of expectations. These big auction houses aren't really set up to do business the way eBay buyers expect it.

And in this case, I think if someone's going to sell on eBay, they need to understand the customer base. If they can't adapt to the needs and expectations of that particular customer base, they might want to consider halting eBay sales. For better or for worse, the sellers generally have to meet the needs and expectations of the buyer, not the other way around.

EBAY has lumped all the different types of buyers together. For example: Someone buying an electronic product is different than someone buying a collectible.
