"Listings not moving? We've got ideas!"

Interesting ... if they would fix the lack of visibility issue then I wouldn't be getting this type of message. I suspect it is really geared for people Selling NEW products opposed to Collectibles, Antiques, Unique and Rare items that simply take lo...

What's with this 'Good Until Cancelled' bull malarky???

I need to decide when and how I relist items I'm selling. As a small business person I sometimes make changes to the listing before I relist it. Sometimes I decide NOT to relist an item that has no interest. How the heck does eBay get the idea that T...
