posted on August 11, 2001 08:20:12 PM I avoided listing in August as it appears to be a big vacation month. I'll be doing Mr. Lister till Sept. then upload it at the end of Sept. I'll only list sure sales during the rest of this month, but very few. I can't be part of the "corporate welfare" scheme, ..feeding ebay's habit.

My sales in the computer section have finaly gone back up. June and July were real bad. I think Ebay is going down because all the bad press. Ebay refuses to get rid of the bad people. I have turned in all kinds of jerks and it takes them forever to do anything. They only cancel people that are obvious and even then it takes 2 weeks. So the bad people know this and just create a new ID (because it is so easy) and start over again. I have one guy that follows me around and sends email to all my bidders and offer them the same thing they bought for much less. He uses a different Ebay ID everyday so Ebay does nothing about it. He always advertises the same website. They know who he is where he lives and even his phone number. The never do anything to him. I have had a lot of customers tell me that they just got screwed by some other Ebay seller. Ebay will ignore itself out of business.

I have actually gotten bids on most of my listings, but a lot are as Keziak mentioned, one and only bids. Also I have been lucky enough to find some fairly high demand collectibles this month. My biggest problem has been finding time to list. Can't seem to do it when the kids are around. Hope to have more free time during the day once they go back to school - I am tired of listing late into the night!
