<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1724002, member: 26302"]I actually think this would harm the seller more than help. My thoughts are from my own reaction to a change like this as a buyer. If Ebay implemented such a change, that's it. I am done with Ebay. The only real advantage Ebay has for me nowadays as a buyer is I can peruse listings at my leisure, set snipes, and know the snipes will be placed when the auction is expiring. If I now know someone can physically camp my auctions I am interested in and either drive up the price incrementally, or win the bid on the next increment by slowly increasing his bid, there is no reason for me to ever bid on Ebay anymore. </p><p><br /></p><p>I seriously believe it would be the end of Ebay as an auction site if this was implemented. I know it would be from my perspective. With a loss of buyers, very quickly final sell price will drop through the floor. Always remember it is just that one underbidder that set your final price. Lose just a few serious buyers on Ebay and you could see some serious price declines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
