HEADS UP AUCTIVA! New Ebay Listing Page

chauncy100Member

I just saw the new listing page that eBay is testing in beta format. If they decide to go with it, sellers are in for a big shock!

The top half of the listing first shows other items from the seller. Then it shows similar items available FROM OTHER SELLERS. Finally, you scroll down to actually see the listing. The format is totally different than how we set up our listings now.

Oh, and BTW, if your shipping DSR star is 4.0, then eBay will add a notation IN RED that "This seller has low ratings for shipping time".

The unfortunate seller who was used as a guinea pig had no idea this was happening. Ebay says they are testing it on .2% of auctions.

Anyways, just thought you should be aware of this possible change.

Hey Chauncy100 ! G'morning!

Is the listing you mention currently running? If so, could you post a link so we could have a look-see?

Hi zeb,

Go to the Lounge, under eBay Topics, then see message that reads "Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse".

You'll see the link there.

Hey JD,

I know it's a test.

To quote the eBay Chairman, "they haven't seen one eighth the changes we have planned".

Scroll down to meet the seller and read the red writing on this listing!

It's what is happening to sellers with low stars:

I should cool down because it's "just a test"? Tell the blind rabbit that Revlon was "just testing".

Glad they are now setting sellers against each other like a cock fight as well as against major retailers (bear baiting) in the search results.

Bring on the gladiators and lions lets see blood ($$$) spilt

I hope other venues take advantage of all this

I don't see what the big deal is...eBay has ALWAYS shown listings from other sellers on ended item pages. (well, at least for as long as I can remember).
Looks to me like that seller better start working on the shipping times.

Hi kbalona,

I agree this seller has lots of issues. But the other seller listings were running while the auction was active.

Also, I saw over on the eBay Seller Central board that there are lots of these test listings running. Somebody noticed that, if the seller had 100% positive feedback and high DSR stars, then the other seller listings weren't showing.

Well that's a step in the right direction, but anyone got a clue what the thresholds are ?

I had already read about this over on the sellers board. I'm still shaking my head about it. If a seller truly has a poor performance record and needs to be ousted, then so be it. BUT, ebay has made that decision based on those pesky stars, which we all know can be manipulated to make a great seller look really bad just because some buyer was having a bad day. If this is how ebay wants to play the game, I will refuse to play any longer.

kbalona, that seller is probably wondering why he got 592 hits on his listing, lol.

Makes no difference I'm sure but that guitar is grossly mis-categorized. It isn't a Fender and it darn sure ain't a telecaster. I wonder how that'll affect his DSR stars.
