JImbos suggestion was very good, a sliding scale , but if I remember back a few years (been here 5) we used to have that. I can clearly remember Buy it now for 300 points for LCD Tvs etc. Maybe its time to bring that back Gazza and Mark, plus the sliding scale for smaller items so everyone is happy. JImbos gets something worth having for his hard work and the rest of us get to do either buy it now or auctions on smaller items(or bigger if we have the points)
I have to say I was surprised that customer services actually took the time to respond to my initial worry about this. It was discussed in great detail, and to their credit i was given a very fair hearing on 2 occasions, so hats of to them for that. Just lets hope they read this, and if enough people point out the issue Im sure they will revert back to the old BUY IT NOW auctions for people with larger point scores as i think this is the only fair way to go forward.
