I've noticed something very unusual in the past couple of weeks. I have had an unprecendented number of sales after auction end, technically 'off ebay'.
It seems that some buyers, at least are getting fed up with eBay and taking it upon themselves to deal direct.
Naturally I keep my user name the same as my email address, so contacting me is no problem.
Strange thing is, most do not even try to get a discount off my opening bid!

Hi mtnmama !
I think we are starting to see the tip of the iceberg, with buyers hopefully starting to get wise to eBay. Possibly resentment as their new policies are also now aimed at buyers instead of just sellers. Telling people they can be suspended for just soliciting off-auction sales is more than any true vertebrate can handle!
Will that work?
