Ebay Categories

I used to dislike it when some bidders did not bid at all on an item and scooped it at the last few seconds. I know you have to do that sometimes to protect yourself but I always thought it rather "un-gentleman like" to not bid until the last minute and I did not practise that (always showed my intent with one or two earlier bids). Now, it's not so interesting and I pass on a lot of stuff. If it's something I want I'll go after it and that might be at the end of the game. I also very much dislike them pushing Paypal the way they do with it's limited protection that they profess to be so-o-o safe.

Another issue I have is that you're supposed to have a choice in the search of searching "titles only" or "titles and descriptions". My thing is Versatile tractors and equipment etc. I used to enter "Versatile" in the search and did not include searching the descriptions. This only brought up everything that had the word "versatile" in the description which was predominantly anything Versatile as in Versatile macinery. It starteda few months ago that when I searched using Versatile it would bring up thousands of ladies dresses etc.. When I looked at the title for these items the wor versatile is nowhere to be seen in the title. Upon examination of the listing I found that under description there is a categorie Occasion: and the seller has entered Versatile to this. As far as I'm concerned this is part of the description not the title. I then questioed this with Ebay and received a couple of automatic replys that helped "f--- all" and nothing further has happened. Sorry for being so long here but the more I typed the more I wanted to say. So- I'm trying to get Ebay out of my system. Hope you get a better response than I did.

Many sellers have already moved to e-crater.com

Now, on the other hand, if you want new parts, and you want them now, just go to e-crater, buy it, and it will be sitting in your mailbox in just 2 to 3 days.

Also, I sell parts to make a small profit. Ebay was eating up all of those profits. That is why I no longer sell on ebay.

Stands to reason,with the higher fees and other changes turning alot of people off.
