Automatic Price Reduction

[clutteredclosetclassics]

I've searched help and the forums but haven't found the answer to my question so would appreciate any input/advice.

I'd like to add the automatic price reduction to some of my already listed items but I don't see an option to do that in bulk editing. I tried going in to edit individually and not seeing an option there to add it, either. It's not something I've used previously so it's possible that it can't be done and I'm just clueless. (It's not category specific, is it?)

Any help would be very much appreciated.  Thanks.

I've noticed a trend lately regarding Buy It Now with Best Offer listings. It seems they go a lot longer without any offers from potential buyers. Could this possibly be due to the fact that eBay offers the automatic "Price Reduction" for sellers.

I truly believe this hurts seller's chance of selling either in a timely manner - or - ever!

Bidders appear to be playing the waiting game. It makes sense for bidders, but doesn't move sales for sellers to encourage more listings.

Just saying...

Does anyone agree with me?  Is there a solution?

More listings that sell faster would mean more fees and profits for eBay. I think eliminating this process would help everyone!

Thank you!

     Risky move. You are basically handing the pricing of your items over to eBay.

Have not used it and not really something I would consider - you would have to be really careful if you had it in tandem with sales, PLs, etc.

I prefer to decide for myself, based on research I have done "myself" if the price needs to be adjusted (up or down) on the items I have listed.  ymmv
