I wouldn't know. But, I do think that if someone thinks that there is a lack of something in an eBid category and they have some of those particular widgets to list, why the devil wouldn't they just quietly go about listing and then promote their items?
I don't understand the idea of coming to the forum to grumble about eBid and then insulting the other sellers (and potential buyers). That strategy makes absolutely no sense.
What I do believe, is that eBid needs a wide variety of items (coins and items in other categories as well). eBid needs listings from good sellers, plain and simple. It doesn't matter if they are lower priced or higher priced items.
People have their own preferences about what to buy on the internet. What I want to buy (or choose to sell) isn't necessarily what someone else would choose to buy or sell on-line.
As for how someone runs their own listings or stores, that is their business. If they break one or more of eBid's rules, then it becomes eBid's business. If they don't honour the terms that they've spelled out in their listings, then it's another matter. But, the amount of profit that they make per item is nobody's business but their own.
Yes, eBid needs more buyers, but it also needs one heck of a lot more listings. That's the only way that the site will grow. Hopefully we'll all benefit if we work together to add whatever it is that we have to list and continue to try to increase traffic.
So, I guess that I will have to take some pictures of the coins that I have to list. They might not be high-end enough for some people's taste, but I'll list them anyway. :-)
