I have seen in a few threads of complaints of slow sales. Well do what other ebayers do to occupy those idle hours watching items never gather bids. Try ebay sleuthing.

You can help safeharbor, discover that some user in Seattle has 24 bid retractions since joining ebay three years ago.

You can help ebay investigations discover that user Ishillforprofits has 45 shill accounts.

Well the job has no pay, not an ounce of thanks, but it sure gives one something to do between watching their wares never catch a bid except from their friends.

Then again you could spend that same time adjusting your auctions to ascertain why everyone else is getting bids and you can't seem to give the stuff away.

Don't kid yourself, this is not a troll

Networker67 is a busybody of the worst kind. Just on AW, this person routinely tries to play junior moderator.

It really is quite sad. This person is likely confined to the home---or even a wheelchair, and apparently has no other activity other than minding everybody elses business.

I agree, get a life.

Your comments are very close to crossing the line. Since you have already received an informal warning, I can't suggest strongly enough that you find the time to read the CGs again. You must have missed that link I provided last night. Here it is again - go spend a little quiet time and read:

If you want some real fun, check out the Big Ticket items. There are several of those $5,000+ items up for sale that are so blatently against eBay rules for keyword spamming. Some made up examples:

Can of Green Beans (not Del Monte)
Just Like Real Butter - I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
My Cookie Receipe That Mrs. Field's Would Kill For
