What is with ebay?
davyou5 replied to car lover 1996's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Um, Sometimes the prices are not low, As I said before it all depends upon how much a Bidder has set the highest amount that they are willing to pay. Bid Sniper and bidding at the last ten seconds has not worked all the time because someone was willing to bid top $$$ for an item. So my suggestion for all you bidders is, cover your bid for as much as you are willing to pay for it. Say the bidding starts at $0.99 and you want to bid on it, say you think that the item is worth $10.00, Okay that is what you are willing to pay for it, now Ebays system will not bring the Bid up to that amount. So let's say another bidder see's the item, What he is going to see is something like Bidding is up to $1.50, and it will state Bid $1.50 or more. Okay lets say the bidder does that, because he/she wants to out bid you, so they type in $2.00, the next screen that appears will tell them that they have been out bid. Now let's say the bidder really wants the item, so they try bidding again, we'll say $5.00, Well they have just been out bid again, why, because you are willing to pay $10.00 for it so that is what the bidding is up to. This is covering your Bid for the item. Now allot of the time I am hoping that someone has not covered their bid on something that I want. And a good majority of the time that does happen, really it all depends on the popularity of the item, and how many bidders are up in place for it. I use the Buy It now option probably 85% of the time because in most cases the item is cheaper to buy than it is on Auction. Sometimes I find the item up for bid only, so if I am away and I can not bid then yes I use this software if the bidding is not too high for my price range. As far as there being a connection? Not really, lots of people on Ebay want things alittle cheaper than normal, this even happens when we are Shopping IE groceries, clothing retailers, etc. As I pointed out Ebay has Raised the Sellers Listing Price, which cause's a majority of sellers to up the ante' on Shipping costs. However from what I am seeing, Allot of those Seller's are taking Advantage of Listing Shipping at a Super high price, this is what needs to stop. Seller's Listing fee's: The last time I checked Seller's listing fee's where $0.43 cents just to list an item, for homes or cars it is much more! With the listing you get to post up Two pictures ( If I am correct on this). Now if a seller wanted to add more pictures, it cost's $0.10 cents more per picture, and let's not forget to add Styling or putting on a Theme to the page which is about another $0.30 Cents or more, I can't remember exactly but since the last time I checked these were the prices for Listing an item. Truly what the problem is Ebay's excuse for the sellers and trying to paint a perfect pictures of why a seller should be able to ask for a high shipping charge. This is what needs to end. If seller's would just ask for the price to cover Item+Listing fee then there would not be a problem. It's just more people trying to take advantage of others. -

I know exactly what you mean. Kits are not the only thing that I buy from ebay. Yes over the recent last couple of years Ebay has risen it's Sellers Listing fee's, and Ebay's excuse for High Shipping Costs are due to this fact. But from what I have seen in response here, it seem's that some Seller's are trying to take advantage of High Shipping cost's, and I mean more than just to cover Shipping and the Seller's fee. It seems to me that if we can get allot of people complaining about this Higher than usual Shipping Charge to Ebay, then there will be a good chance to crack down on those who love to dangle those almost seemingly rare items in front of your nose for a Super High Shipping Costs. Some times I will get an e-mail survey from Ebay on a purchase that I have bought about a month before, I take this survey every time and I definitely write to them why I am not keen on introducing a friend to their site, and list the reason's why. The only thing I can say is that if Ebay does not put into place stronger Policies on Shipping Charges then it will eventually doom itself to failure especially in weak economic times. As far as bidding goes, if the item I want is low enough and I am thinking that someone has not covered their bid to the certain amount they are willing to pay then ether I myself will bid at the last ten seconds on what I am willing to pay for it, or if I am away I use Bid Sniper to do this for me . Something for you all to consider . -

Go the website called PhotoBucket.com, make yourself an account, upload your images, and then use the Insert Image link on the top when you are going to post. Copy the Direct link into the box and boom! picture is inserted . Very good work on the Model you have shown us here . I want to see it finished .
