The "Good till Cancelled" fiasco has begun for me.

[shoppingbag*]

I am a non store owner. Yesterday I had 40 free listings. Today I have 39 yet I have not listed anything. One of my sales came to an end and now sits at the bottom of the listings with a "relist item" button, which informs me that "this item didn't automatically reslist".

Investigating and getting the item number for the so-called used free listing, brings up this very item, which tells me that the item is relisted with "good till cancelled" Doing a general search for it, and yes, it is indeed relisted, but does not show as such in my items for sale. I wonder what would happen if I went to relist this item from my sales list and if it would then show as another free listing used. I have not received any email from eBay regarding these changes, nothing at all.

Your thoughts please.

Even if you didn't get the notification, there has been plenty of discussion on the boards.

it's a simplistic view because it's a simplistic issue. Economies of scale are irrelevant.

Very simplistic. eBay.com, .au, .cn, .uk are all separate markets. And separate subsidiaries of eBay, who tell all the tax offices of the world that they don't make any money anyway.

Apple, Google, Louis Vitton, to mention a few, all charge different prices in different markets.

Down with global business! Let's only deal with companies who manufacture in Austrralia. Everything - from the raw materials up. Then you'll see what economies of scale mean.

Just to add - ebay have just under 50 separate websites, each for different countries.

If people want to pay US listing prices, they can list on eBay.com. (You have to ship to the US, and if someone from Australia buys, you'll be charged FVF on the US shipping costs).

[davewil1964]

I call it a lack of due diligence. A lack of forethought. A lack of availing yourself of the information available (which is due diligence).

See ya. Don't slam the door.
