Do you get the feeling that eBay has ruined it for themselves and people can't be arsed with it any more?

basically, they've got greedy

In the current climate it no longer pays to sell off your unwanted items via ebay when they take firstly an insertion fee, then 10% of the profit and then a further cut from paypal.
Then they wonder why less folk are using them... and are forever using free listing days to generate items for sale and give better choice to buyers

another free listing weekend. Judging at the amount of new items for sale via my routine searches, it appears they're getting desperate for new listings....the amount of new stuff being listed must have halved in the last few months IMHO

trade secret mister :lol: :lol: :ninja: :ninja:

seriously tho'

when you log into ebay....the way mine is set up is to have the watch list as my load page. On the LHS of that is a side sub menu. At the bottom of the sub menu is an announcements section....its usually listed in there.

It dont usually get advertized til after lunch time on the Friday of the free listing weekend. Being as I log in daily :ninja: :unibrow: and am always on the look out for the listings i usually spot it and notify folks on here asap
