So, so true.  If only at least one of those platforms recognised the opportunity . . . . . . . . . quickly like !

It's not just the platforms ... It's sellers as well.

Hits & activity will wake up platform Admins relatively quickly .....

But the sellers ...... sigh .....

I see plenty posting on these boards whining that there is no result for the piddly time it takes to park their excess stock there, but when I check them out, their prices are 10+% higher than here. And these are Buy Nows.

They should be close to 10% less.

Buyers aren't stupid .... but some sellers sure are.

I get sales from there. I get the price I want. I even refer people there for request items. Because I price based on site cost, they often become multiple purchases, which makes both of us happy.

I have no worries about a ping because I can't ship from Qld to WA in 2 days ....

I use their Express Lister to create listings & when I want to I just copy the HTML into my ebay listing. Much more user friendly. No penalty for cancelling a listing there.

Bottom line is, every listing I create either here or there is a possible search engine pick up for a potential buyer. That's the hook.

It's up to the fisherman to set the right bait once the fish is attracted. That's much easier than trying to get it back once it has swum past ......
