Quick ebay questions

When searching completed listings green prices mean sold and red prices mean not sold, but what do the black prices mean?

Thanks for the help.

    Hi Josh,

    Haven't seen one. Do you have a link or an example?

    Means the item has not sold and has been relisted.

    PoppaJ, pretty much any search I have done has had them. Do a completed listings search on Joe Montana for example and you will find that under the Price field, the $ comes up in green red and black... I just wasn't sure what black meant.



    Thanks for the help Steve.

    I thought that might be it, BUT it's not.

    I have tons of blacks that are not relisted.

    Storm the blacks that you have are they auctions where you can re list and if sold
    you will not pay the listing fee again?

    We need to keep guessing, because that is not it either.

    I have expired BINs that are black.

    I have cancelled BINs that are black.

    I have expired store items that are black.

    I have cancelled store items that are black.

    .......

    Maybe, the black color has no meaning at all.

    I dunno.

    Hi Steve,

    Black is for BINs with Best Offer!

    lol Poppa I thought that too but I saw black in regular auctions that ended, endd and were relisted, in stores, out of stores etc.

    No rhyme or reason I could see.

    At first I checked 3 of them and all were relists. Then Storm showed that was wrong.

    So I dunno.

    Hoooooooooooray. Another GREAT guess. Sadly, not a winner.

    I have tons of blacks with NO best-offer features.

    Keep those guesses coming guys. I need closure.

    Hi Steve,

    I actually called eBay and that was the answer that the PS rep gave me. It's definitely a crap shoot! image

    Still no correct answer here.

    Hurry please.

    Closure required.

    Thank you!

    Maybe EBAY is just trying to save money by not using colors.

    I am going to take a wild stab at it.

    They are PP only auctions that did not sell.

    Nope.

    I've got red and black ones that have all of the same features.
