", I would suggest a different tactic,"

My selling tactic was not developed yesterday but as a result of trying all methods including your suggestions over the years.

Nothing I ever sold was sold with a buy it now button.

Items listed at true market value similar to other members prices were usually ignored by buyers.

Then I tried the low starting price tactic (years ago).

Buyers flocked to the item. True the cheapskates  were hoping it would sell for the starting price but it rarely did.

And I do know Covid has cut buyer numbers and prices too but I allowed for that with my opening prices.

Nobody could imagine my items were cheap because they were rubbish.

Its simple. I'm not a greedy bugger. I aim for win/win.

My descriptions and pics are as explicit and accurate as you would find on any listing on Ebay.

No the problem is not with my seller tactics.

I stand by my conclusion regards member quality or rather lack of it.

Ebay is largely to blame. They let anybody join without checks or balances these days and once the bad guys are in they are free to loot and pillage.

Ebay sees to it that the crimes of the bad guys are kept secret.

Its outrageous that sellers can't leave anything but positive feedback.
