<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 334622, member: 6370"]Ebay is a favorite topic here because it is a huge marketplace and company. It has a lot of good aspects which is why people are so concerned with it. I have always maintained that I have had very little problems with ebay, far more a problem with people who think they are doing nothing wrong but are...people with a natural ability to **** people off every time they try to communicate...people with bad interpersonal skill, bad business ethics and practice. People who seem to think they are doing ME a favor...this is why I think people are upset about losing the ability to retaliate to bad feedback...something that in the real world of business does not exist....I have never given wal-mart or sears a card to evaluate me as a customer. The cheats and scams have been far less of a problem for me.</p><p> </p><p><b>But my main #1 problem with ebay is sniping</b> and the fact it is not a real auction because of this...in a real auction nobody can snipe in the last few seconds (or these days 5 people using a third party)...thus you always have a chance to change your mind and put in another bid. I think someone needs an online auction system that is time based....but if a person puts a bid in in the last 5 - 10 minutes...the auction extends another 30 mins to an hour to allow the other bidders a chance to bid again. when no more bids are entered within the extra time given then the auction is allowed to end. If other bids come in then it extends until all bids end.</p><p> </p><p>This is my idea...copyright 2008 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> who wants to develop the next best auction site...then we can **** everyone off and people will be running to this forum linking to people auctions and blaming us for them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
