Is that the way eBid ought to go? Large numbers of cheap sales, large numbers of unhappy customers. Every seller trying to out-cheap the others?
I really don't understand the idea of big sellers being more valuable to eBid than small. They would also present a potential risk to eBid. If they chose to leave, it would suddenly have an adverse effect. Which is why they would have a clout which smaller sellers don't have. And which would lead to manipulation and demands for their own ends.
Here's an idea: Let's try to make all the small sellers, who want to be, into "big" sellers - support each other, buy from each other, and all work together to promote eBid, and make it the place to go for an honest, safe, purchase.
I came to eBid to get away from that, as did many others. As well as not selling on eBay any more, I don't buy there either.
