Why do our listings keep vanishing on Google Products ?

If that were the case then eBid might as well get rid of the Holiday Notice.

Even if someone clicks through on your item when the notice is in place there is still the potential of a sale there on your return.

Hopefully not putting words into G's mouth, but what I believe he was saying is don't click through onto your own listings from Google Shopping as there is zero potential for a sale (you are not going to buy your own item) so that would be just throwing eBid's money away.

Though seeing as you have raised it...there might be a case for how long a Holiday Notice can be effective for. Over a certain time and you should probably have to close your listings.

NO NO dont' do away with the holiday notice - one of the features that makes Ebid special!
I was merely wondering if I might cost Ebid money when relisting my items when they are not available to bid on/buy.

Has anyone else noticed that the Shopping Results for searchterm feature has vanished from general Google searches?

No problem here...still see "Shopping" icon after doing a general search for pink sweaters....click on that and everything comes up.

Yes I don't agree with this controlling prices syndrome.

Otherwise its just a race to the bottom, where no one makes any money.

It should be up to people to set their own prices.

Then let buyers decide.

I often see huge variations on the same book on Amazon

Of course it is silly for seller to list the same item on ebid and then on an other site cheaper, but sometimes people are just too busy to check every listing.

The big problem in monitoring prices would be with collectibles, especially stamps, coins, books, and old magazines, where condition is an enormous factor in determining the value. It's certainly a factor on Amazon, even though they don't use standard grading, the difference in price tends to be based on condition.
