Seems to me, as the life rafts are being blown up to wander from the Mother auction (ebay)one more time,to other auctions, that sellers this time would be wiser than the last voyage out to the Yahoo Dead Sea....
Too many sellers divert to several auctions at a time - the end result, I believe, will be impatience and boredome from the bidders.
Sellers have beaucoup records to keep now, and we are expecting bidders to do the same??
They can hardly navigate ebay as it is.
There really needs to be a board of consensus somewhere - which will steer the majority of sellers to perhaps only ONE OTHER main auction site. One seller wrote, "see my auctions on Ebay,Yahoo, Auxpal and Epier!!
As a bidder- I wouldn't have the time! Nor the inclination to keep track of all the things I may be interested in.
Somehow- with all the data available to us- it would be comforting to know which auction looks most hopeful- To date, it is very scattered information.
As a seller, I'm running out of breath, blowing up all those rafts. No more Dead Seas for me. LOL!! I will only use ebay (with some reservations of course)as necessary and have chosen Epier for its format and "price is right for now" attraction. More than that- would cause unnecessary grief and record keeping.
