There are more sellers than buyers I THINK!

 

------------------------------------------

 

Wouldn't be surprised if there were

 

Hundreds/thousands/tens of thousands of items going through without a bid, which is no surprise either

 

It's similar to the supermarkets where the Specials disappear in hours while the standard-price items are moving very slowly

 

People are cutting lots of corners these days, across the board.  If it's no bargain (taking into account the postage) then people aren't interested

 

Ebay's feeling the pinch too (all those CEOs and shareholders to feed) so it ignores sane business-practice and slogs the buyer (via the seller) again and again

 

That's fine, as long as buyers are willing to play along

 

Seems less and less buyers feel inclined to do so

 

Ebay and Aust. Post can only push up prices so long as the market will tolerate it

 

It's the market (the buyer) which rules the roost, not ebay, not Aust. Post

 

Will this latest greedy grab be the tipping point ?  Time will tell

 

In the meantime, I find ebay greedier than tv and the net with all the very lucrative saturation advertising
