The current incumbents clearly have not got a clue and are quite deservedly continuing their journey on down the sewer; undoubtedly, eventually to reach the even rougher waters of the ocean ... For all the eBay “buyers” who are still trying to find a bargain on eBay and are (hopefully) agile enough to avoid all the shill-bidding professional sellers that now infest eBay, eBay recently touted two Diamond/Titanium PowerSellers as major success stories of selling on eBay. An analysis of bidding patterns on these two sellers’ auctions suggests that they both are possibly habitual shill bidders. A full comment thereon at: http://www.auctionbytes.com/forum/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=6502763 And “eBay is turning around” (and around, and around)? Take a look at the very few islets of green (ie, shilled auctions and (pseudo?) Best Offer “sales”) in the ocean of “blood” in the completed listings for one of these sellers, at: http://completed.shop.ebay.com.au/beckertime/m.html?LH_Complete=1&_trkparms=65%253A13%257C66%253A4%257C39%253A1&_ipg=&_sc=1&_sop=13&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_pgn=1 eBay needs more that a new ad campaign, it needs a new executive committee, one that has some understanding of marketing and just what is (was) the eBay marketplace.
