I noticed the severe lack of auctions recently on eBay. I’m only a spotty buyer and seller there so I’m not always on top of these things. What’s really caught my attention recently is eBay offering big INCENTIVES to list as an auction rather than use Buy It Now. What’s up with that?? I have read several eCommerce forum posts indicating sellers on eBay are experiencing an all-time low in buyer interest through eBay and I believe the lack of auctions is what’s killing their business. I decided to test this theory and put up 5 items for a penny auction that should have been caused immediate snipe wars so they could be re-sold for ridiculously inflated Buy It Now listings. Only 2 sold and I only had a total of 8 bids between the two. That’s SCARY. Over the past two years I’ve watched eBay make one catastrophic decision after another. First the completely anonymous bidding that tossed transparent auctioning out the window. Don’t like the auction bids your getting? Just make a fake profile and start bidding till the price is where you want it! Although eBay claims they watch for that behavior it is IMPOSSIBLE to watch for and I have personally seen it happen on numerous occasions. Perhaps their new move towards Buy It Now is their admission that they simply can’t make an honest auction process work? Yes…that’s it. Lastly, the new PayPal fee increases on top of the fee increases on eBay itself have made a sale there far from profitable. I foresee the decline, sale and death of eBay in its present form coming in the near future. It will be taken over by a re-seller farm and all you’ll be getting there is WAY overpriced hard to find items you can’t get anywhere else. Very sad. The only way to reverse the eCommerce Zombie they’ve got now is to reverse the anonymous auction policy (which is just insane), knock the fees back down and ENCOURAGE more auctions. MORE MORE MORE! Bring the FUN back to “I bought on eBay!”

I’d hate to see the auctions get swept under the rug. Auctions are the fun of eBay, the thrill of the chase. I haven’t done a lot of eBay of late – last thing I bought was a non-working pinball machine for $200, which is now a working pinball machine, thanks to my mad skillz in that area. Such a bargain!

I’ll be happiest when eBay decides to ban sales of “band director approved” cheap band instruments that fall apart once the kids start playing them.
