As surmised in previous posts, there was a surge in eBay auction counts after they initiated the 30-day BIN option. What accounts for the March surge? I don't see this in other years. I also think that it's interesting that the sell-through rates are pretty flat, with auctions a little shy of 60% and BIN at 20% - a flip-flop from pre-2008 counts. Could it be that the Diamond sellers are dumping too much #@%^ on the market? No wonder eBay is back treading and saying they are still an auction venue - they know where their money comes from.

Thanks for posting this, it was something I have been wondering about. I was doing real good with the BIN and now the diamond powersellers have just about put me out in my corner of the woods. I think I am going to have to find another pond to play in.
