JerseyHarold Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Looks like another eBay frill that won't be of any use to me. I rarely bid on anything anymore, and if I sell something it ends-up going to a 'one-bid wonder' at the opening price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatS.... Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 the nickel and diming added up to killing the fun for me on eBay. Things like Craigs list and Kijiji and some local sites are way better. R.I.P. eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm's Coupe Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Like the others I don't do much on ebay either. Only 5 transactions in the last 12 months, and only 1 since March. Sold 3, bought 2 items. Don't look at ebay much except when someone post something that sounds interesting. If I was to bid on something I wouldn't need the Count Down system since I only bid once and forget it until the auction is over. Doesn't matter if I win the auction or not. If I don't win it, it wasn't meant to be and life goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normspeed Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I still buy stuff there, but more often lately it's from an ebay store or it's something with a buy it now price. I've considered selling off a few things but when I priced what similar stuff sold for in auctions, didn't seem worth the trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Haven't sold stuff on the bay for a while, but the Mrs keeps adding to the pile of things she wants me to put on. Guess I'll have to get with it soon. I always try to start the item at a price I would take if simply offering to sell it to someone. Then anything more is gravy. So, if only one bid, I get my price. That's my theory, and I'm stickin' to it. The thing that's getting to be a bigger pain is the shipping costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Faust Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 It doesn't really matter to "counter" Auctionsniper.... look at the auctionsniper page... it is an EBAY company... they own it..... (just trying to integrate it more on their site...) Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
