Hi everyone... this is Subha Shetty from the Buyer Experience team.

For multi-quantity listings, both research and the input we've received from sellers indicate that buyers tend to purchase less often when they see a large quantity of items available. This is most likely because they feel a lack of urgency to purchase, or they perceive that the item isn’t selling well.

For this reason, we're changing the quantity displayed on multi-quantity listings that have more than 10 items for sale. Instead of displaying the actual quantity, such as "83 available," we're now displaying "more than 10 available."

Sincerely,

Subha Shetty

FleaBay can be a great marketing tool or at least it was at one time. The general feeling I get anymore is that FleaBay is being run by a group of teenage geeks who have had nothing but success in good times. Now times arn't so good, they are at a loss as to what to do. Profits and sales are heading down and with their lack of a realistic veiw of how things work in the real world they are scrambling to make something work.
I've stayed away from Ebay lately. After the last couple 'improvements' it's just a PITA to bother with. Most times unless an item is a one off item no longer available, Factoring in shipping and handling charges it's cheaper, faster and safer to find it locally.
 
I was lookinig for a collet chuck for 5-c collets. found one on e-bay, they want 300 to 600 dollers and 40.00 for the back plate .
done some searching and found the same thing for 199.00 for the chuck and 30.00 for the back plate. soooooo e-bay has priced themself out of my budget anyway. Jer
 
It always amazes me the folks i run into that have just discovered Ebay and think its the best thang since sliced bread,,, seams to B a never ending market for new-bs,,, sorta like the only show in town...
