Happy Recommerce Day

It's finally here.  Another promotion focused on luxury handbags, watches and sneakers.  What a surprise.

@funfactorychannel Thanks, but, nope, not for me. The problem for me isn't that it is easy to miss, it is that it is missing, period.

Are you using an ad blocker? It doesn’t appear for me unless I temporarily disable my blocker.

[my-cottage-books-and-antiques]

@ncprog87 I had tried disabling my ad blocker. No effect. But I appreciate the suggestion.

One other thing I noticed - I’m on an iPad using the safari browser (not the app). I only see it if I disable the ad blocker and have it in landscape. It won’t appear in portrait.

As to be expected. Sad other resellers aren't allowed to participate.

It's a limited hangout, as usual.

I must be doing something wrong. I've been buying on eBay since the 90s and have never purchased a purse, a watch, a pair of pricey sneakers -- or anything else designer or "luxury."

Well, I waited until 12:00 PT, just in case.  Heart palpitating with excitement, I reopened the eBay main page.

Nothing.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. I had figured if this year went well, next year I'd probably rent the local community hall and throw a party for all the resellers in theneighborhood, with festive banners and balloons and ....

But now, my spirit is crushed and my life has become just a bleak landscape of sorrow.

What a bummer of a day.

Like expecting Taylor Swift -- except she was ill, and the replacement was Mrs. Miller:

Yes, those categories make up a substantial growth area for eBay. Forbes noted: 

“While Electronics and Accessories remain the top selling product categories, eBay has become a go-to destination for collectables of all kinds including expensive watches, purses, and other coveted luxury goods.”

Oh boy, what a day it was.

[allthingssurplus]

Its abundantly clear eBay executives know their wife's and husbands buy shoes, handbags and watches.  Problem, if eBay stocked and sold any of that merchandise they most likely would be out of business in a month.  Its how they roll.

There are more than three categories in the selling system.  When will the others be promoted on the platform??

[ten_o_nine]

Well, I hope Linda sold some of her stuff. With all the publicity, I saw many of the auctions end with no bids, like that one-minute auction for LOUIS VUITTON bag starting bid at $949, you can find the same for $500 BIN.

They do not bring in the same cash flow.
