Meya	posted on September 27, 2000 03:05:00 PM new A true bonus item would have to be shipped in a used pizza box to be a real bonus. Anything less would be truly sub-standard.
paulstar	posted on September 27, 2000 03:11:07 PM new stockticker: I'm old enough to not be so naive. How 'bout you? Ebay makes up their rules arbitrarily to suit their own needs. To not take advantage of an opportunity to even the score a bit is ludicrous. Ebay is great, but fair is fair. Call it unethical, call it stealing, I couldn't care less. It's a great idea and until Ebay fixes that problem, I hope more take advantage of it. I've been burned by Ebay "functionality" problems and their attitude seems to indicate that they don't care much about me losing a few dollars here and there, why should I feel bad about them losing a few?

amalgamated2000	posted on September 27, 2000 03:14:45 PM new Yes, eBay makes up rules that suits their own needs. They are a business, not a democracy, nor a charity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- All rights reserved. All wrongs reversed.

CleverGIrl	posted on September 27, 2000 03:49:13 PM new I had the occasion to visit ebay's rules just yesterday on an entirely different matter and I'm pretty sure I read (skimmed) that bonus items are against the rules and I KNOW that choice auctions are against the rules.
CoolTom-07	posted on September 27, 2000 04:03:53 PM new I'd like to share this selling technique... Offer for auction a good product, accurately described... Pack using appropriate materials and ship in the manner most economical to the buyer... Treat your buyer with utmost respect, even if they don't always deserve it, every step of the transaction... Show your thanks by leaving them a pleasant feedback, or in the cases of a rocky transaction, leave faint praise or say nothing at all... Reserve negative feedback for the only proper reason --- you didn't get paid... Play by the rules --- written or unwritten. Don't be lazy and look for loopholes... I follow these techniques and had perfect feedback, customers who like me enough to bid again, and have an average profit of 1,500%... Guess that makes me a chump in your eyes. I prefer to call it being an adult.
amalgamated2000	posted on September 27, 2000 04:04:55 PM new Bonuses are fine as long as they apply equally to all bidders. And, strictly, speaking, under Mboyko's scenario, the buyer isn't really being offered a choice of items. He is getting the second item free. However, he does have to pay the shipping on the item. And the seller does not combine shipping. And the charge may be more than the actual shipping charge. This would be so incredibly confusing that I can't imagine anyone actually bidding, but... Also, it really doesn't matter what kind of justification you give. It's pretty clear what the intent is, and I suspect that will be all that would matter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- All rights reserved.

Glenda	posted on September 27, 2000 04:24:25 PM new Relist it, but completely change the item being listed. Please make sure the following conditions apply: You are re-listing the same item within 30 days of the closing date of the first auction. http://pages.ebay.com/help/sellerguide/selling-item.html Just because you can get away with doing something, doesn't make it "right."

texmontana	posted on September 27, 2000 05:03:10 PM new Amalgamated2000- A pizza cutter? An ant farm?? Somehow familiar...
CoolTom-07	posted on September 27, 2000 09:20:54 PM new Thanks jeanyu and rowx {blush} Now I'll think I'll just put him on ignore -- just like his customers...
mboyko	posted on September 27, 2000 09:27:05 PM new You must not have seen my auction results tonight. Only one listed item didn't end with a bidder, out of like 20 or more. I'm in the money, baby!
