It’s just been pointed out to me that Tamebay’s Sue Bailey committed suicide a couple of months ago. Please excuse my ignorance of Sue Bailey’s demise. As my IP address is barred from accessing the tamebay site I had no idea.

Even in the position of being eBay Radio's "European Correspondent" (seriously!) Dawson seems not to be getting any priority in eBay search, which could suggest that the state of eBay search is not by any deliberate design, but it has simply been irretrievably broken by a team of greedy, arrogant, ignorant, incompetent, manipulative, narcissistic, sociopathic, criminal facilitators …
eBay offers free auction listings: The day before yesterday, 50; yesterday, 1,000; today, 5,000; tomorrow, 1,000,000?
eBay is obviously getting desperate. Indications are that sales may have tanked, literally, “across the board”, and the major part of their income comes from FVFs and PreyPal, not from listing fees. Therefore, eBay is not after listings, they are desperately after sales on which they take ~9% (plus PreyPal ~3%). The chief headless turkey’s Bain & Co apprenticeship taught him the simple premise that you can’t make sales if you don’t have the listings to sell, and so “let there be listings” …
I suggest free listings for all across the board will be their next move, which won’t fix the problem because, regretfully, it literally is “too little, too late”: it will be no mean feat for anyone to raise such a large, old, rusted, sunken vessel from the bottom of the ocean. Regardless, it has been clear to many all along that this imbecile Donahoe has always been out of his depth. What a shame it is that the eBay BoD has never had the sense to recognise same.
