eBay is having a 10 cent fixed price posting day.

No matter how much you start your auction for, the price will be 10 cents.

Wait Wait Wait!

SPOOFEE has this listed "sort of wrong"!


The 10 cents is if you list your item at a FIXED PRICE...in other words, NOT an auction, but you are selling something for a set price...


If You list something in a regular auction, like most people do, the insertion fees are just like they always are!

Who ere does the home page, should update this...

What is excluded?


Auction-style listings, Auction-style listings with Buy it Now Listing Upgrade, eBay Motors vehicles, International, Live Auction, Professional Services, Ad Format, Real Estate and Store Inventory listings.

Business & Industrial categories. The following business and industrial categories are excluded from the 10 Cent Fixed Price Sale: tractors & farm machinery (91952), heavy equipment (25249), concession trailers, carts (67145), imaging and aesthetics equipment (92035), forklifts and other lifts (97185), manufacturing equipment (92080), metalworking equipment (92082) and commercial printing presses (26247).

The promotional rate does not apply to listings with a start date prior to March 15, 2006 - including those listings revised during the promotional period. The promotional rate also does not apply to listings created on March 15, 2006 and scheduled to start after the promotion ends.
 
Wait a minute! Doesn't apply to auctions? What the heck does it apply to? Selling CDs and DVDs for a fixed price? eBay is such a worthless scam (although I have tons of audio equipment I need to unload.)

Ebay is promoting there new fixed listing option. Acutlly I have found, depending on what you are selling, that it's a better option than the auction format. It's pretty much the Buy It Now feature minus biding.

It's not so much eBay, but some unethical sellers. EBay can do there best to try and monitor stuff like that, but when some stupid sellers goes to one of the fake phishing sites and enters his username and password. Bingo his account is now hacked and scammers start selling crap. Most of the time the seller never even knows till his feedback is trashed and buyers are out a lot of $$$.

The old adage still applies. If it sounds too good to be true it prob is.

Just curious...why are so many people mad at ebay? And at their offer to have a 10 cent fixed price sale (I think it's nice that they are offering a listing at a discount and like another poster mentioned, the fixed price is very similar to the buy it now)?
 
Heck, I love eBay. I have over 100 feedback points to prove it. I do hate the sellers though. Most of them anyway. Charging $5.00 for an item and $30.00 shipping. Thats retarded. I would rather pay what the item is worth and get a fair shipping charge. Even if the price equals out I always feel like im getting ripped by these exorbitant shipping fees.
 
Ebay use to be a million times better than it is now. You could actually find some decent deals and the users seemed to be a little more ethical. Now days it has become over bloated with people trying to get rich or pull of scams! And no ebay doesn't do a good job monitoring its site. Its popularity has become its own worst enemy!!

The funny thing is the auction mentality! Unknowledgeable users over pay for so many items thats its crazy! The think they are getting a great deal when many times they can get the same item for the same price if not cheaper with a little more effort.

And yes the $1.00 auction with $20.00 shipping is a killer! :thumbs_do
 
It's a free market.

You don't go into a flea market believing everything you hear... same thing with ebay... one big flea market... You take the good with the bad, so just use a little caution and common sense... Buyer beware.

They make more money this way. If they have 99 cent auctions with 20 dollar shipping Ebays getting 6 percent of 99 cents. I never really trust sellers like that though.
 
One of the main reason for high shipping fee is that if you don't like the product, they will refund your $1.00 and shipping fee is no refundable, so you can't complain that they don't refund your money.
 
U know what, spoofee is used to be good at discussing the real deal, though thru-out the time, better and better deal was discovered.. but at the same time more and more ppl spaming the deal discuss with others that is not relavant to the topic. Guess that is how life goes, the urgly side and the pretty side. As i am sending this message out I am spamming the channel too, but so far no one do anything about it. If this got remove, i would be so glad, at least someone really take notice!
 
I agree with you richeemxx ; ebay used to be so much better. But I like how it has helped open up the market for small business owners or stay at home moms (who sell great custommade items). My friends get some of the cutest items from these sellers on ebay that they don't find elsewhere on the internet or at least as readily.

Sorry JustLooking! , but I don't understand what you are talking about...the lack of grammar makes it kind of difficult. Are you saying that we shouldn't be using this thread to discuss non-deal related topics?
