Would it work for you if only the seller had this option.While admittedly I do relate most to auction format selling, my main concern with having this feature is that it might make the process too easy and thus become something that buyers might get the idea that sellers should do it simply at their request. Personally, I have no problem with it provided it there can be safeguards against sellers being intimidated into cancellations willy-nilly.
I'm well aware of the different variety of auction formats and that some are not applicable in online situations, however, there are certain aspects that involve procedures entirely different from retail (fixed price) methods of selling. Unfortunately, it is easy for bidders to confuse the two resulting in misunderstandings and ill will. I simply don't want an option suitable for one method of selling to be forced on a method for which it is not suitable.
Naturally, if the eBid administration is convinced that the option is useful and they choose to adopt it, I will not complain. I'm merely using this thread to voice my concerns during this process of consideration. Obviously, it is Gazza & Mark that have to be convinced.
