Book Board Chat

Hello!! Great that we have a new venue!

Signed up for the new book board and think it is great. Shame Ebay is staffed by such a bunch of XXXXXs.

They continue to make changes without the slightest understanding of what the implications are from a user perspective. The expansion of the number of characters in each title has some good points and bad points, but my hunch is that no one at Ebay simulated being a buyer who is browsing listings or searching for something that is a bit less than 100% specific!! With the listings not filling out the line anymore, it takes much MORE time to browse (spell that less items viewed, spell that less that one buys!!). When someone does a search, because sellers are now loading up their titles with lots of CARP, you get 3 or 4 times or even more the number of "hits" and thus, again, it takes that much longer to wade through (and thus less items seen and less bought!!)

I realize there are some positive aspects also.

The next big news will be when Ebay implements a buyer's fee!!

If all goes well, I hope to re-institute the weekly price report for celebrity yearbooks and look forward to hearing directly if anyone needs help with selling yearbooks. Just e-mail to me directly at: sethpoppel@aol.com as my attendance on the board will be sporadic and a direct communication will get a prompt reply.
