As A Seller On Ebay
I really don't understand why, when making a listing for an Auction that includes a "Buy It Now" does the Seller have to go over 30% of the Auctions starting bid for the "Buy It Now" price? Whats the big deal to Ebay or who does this benefit at all? Surely not Ebay as they make their money no matter what. It certainly doesn't help a Buyer who may want to grab an item before anyone starts bidding because the "Buy It Now" is too high. And certainly doesn't benefit a Seller who wants that quick sale. So what is the purpose Ebay? If I start an Auction at $30 I have to make the "Buy It Now" $40. Why can't I make the $35 to encourage a Buyer to grab it? Whats the big deal? And to make it more confusing to understand, the minute someone places a bid for the opening price then the "Buy It Now" option goes away anyway and Ebay will get a lower commission. I don't get it Ebay...go back to the way it was and take off that limit all together.
