The changing face of eBay

Global sales at eBay from fixed-price transactions – up 19 per cent year on year – now comprise 51 per cent of total sales, having edged ahead of auction sales for the first time last month. It is a landmark that high street retailers ignore at their peril.

Many online shoppers often now want the instant gratification of a quick purchase and it's fair to say a number view the process of joining and monitoring an auction tiresome.

It appears that sellers who are trying to optimize their listings for eBay's Best Match not only have to contend with a dearth of information about how to do so, they must also face the challenge of optimizing for different web browsers.

... eBay must be toying with the sellers. This is all a joke, and one day eBay will jump out of the box and say, "Tricked you!", surely...

For one second, BNWT, I thought that meant "auctions of men" ("man auctions") were back on eBay. (I didn't think they'd ever been ON eBay!) But of course it's not that at all! A man is auctioning "his back" on eBay - or rather, "In a desperate attempt to clear the medical debts arising from his late wife's cancer treatment, Ash Mackinnon has set up an eBay auction that offers the highest-bidding company the chance to have their product or logo publicly tattooed on his back."
