Does the following from the eBay community board mean that they are going to tell the losing bidders about my competions items for sale, when in fact I am have more of the same listed??? It will only help if I have the only items listed and they refer them back to me - fat chance!!! Louise


Enhancements to Emails Sent to Losing Bidders***
Date: 04/30/04 Time: 03:08:44 PM PDT
We have made some enhancements to the emails that are sent to members who do not win the listing they were bidding on. These emails contain information about similar items (based on category and keywords in the title) that might interest the buyer.

Previously, these emails were sent a set time after the listing had ended. Now we have not only improved the logic to show buyers more relevant items, but these emails will be sent right after the original listing has ended so that the results are more current. We believe this will help buyers find items that they are interested in more quickly and easily.

I've received one of these and it did show listings from sellers other than the one I had bid on.

You could, however, send such email yourself. Isn't that what Second Chance is all about?

Well, since I have no intention of promoting other sellers' items, I won't be using that Email! It should promote yours, not others.

Cheryl: Can that email be turned off? I thought that was an eBay function.

I think, too, that is an ebay function that the bidder opts [opt in or out] for receiving 'losing bidder' emails.
