<p>[QUOTE="frech001, post: 2444651, member: 20616"]I recently took advantage of eBay's offer to tell them what I thought about their new beta format for sellers. To my surprise I got a quick reply and an invitation to participate in a conference call with several of their webmasters. Their interest in hearing what I as a small seller had to say was refreshing in an era when most calls to large corporations are answered in third world countries. One of my suggestions was that a listing keep its eBay listing or item number until it is sold or pulled from their site so I wouldn't have to spend so much time changing the item number on my coin and my spread sheet every time I relisted a coin. I suggested they add an alphabetical letter at the end of the item number that would be the only changing part of a listing number, so that the first time I listed a coin the item number would include an "A" at the end and the second time the original item number would be followed by a "B" and so on every time it was relisted. Alternatively the last number in the item number string could be a counting number that would change with each relisting while the core number remained the same. This would cut my time to relist a coin by 90%. What are your thoughts?
