I've found that upping the price can help things sell. Even just a dollar or 2 seems to help. I wonder if buyers have been watching and then see the price go up and think "ooohhh, I'd better get that before it goes up a again".

I'm hoping I've stopped those wretched top tip emails temporarily. Normally I ignore them, but I decided to click on it tonight. Up the top was this nice little button saying something along the lines of "don't ask again for item specifics". I ticked all the boxes and hit that button and they all disappeared. Of course that will only work until they are relisted again, but it might shut eBay up for awhile.
