What would YOU like to see in a online auction?

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

I have been toying with the idea of starting a AH over the past few months. Have even purchased a domain and spoken to lawyers etc.

I want to make it a pleasure for everyone (buyers and sellers).

I would like to hear from both sides as to what 1-2 things they want to see the most in an online auction house in regards to operations mostly.

please post here.

Have an amazing day.

I want to see no buyers fee, no sellers fee and free shipping. Next....

I would love to see lower condition/value cards lotted individually. I'm really sick and tired of seeing cards I want and could actually afford, combined into lots with a bunch of other cards I have absolutely no interest in.

There's an auction on ebay right now, where the single last card (a supposedly scarce/rare card) I need to finish a team run, is in a lot with 9 other cards I either already have, or have no interest in. I'm forced to either overpay for it and end up with 9 cards I neither want nor need, or forego it and hope I find the single card somewhere else.

I don't need to know anything ancillary about the card or the player on it. If I'm even looking at the card I already have enough information about it to be interested.

Do the following:

- Make sure that a user cannot place more than 3 bids on any item. I was watching an eBay item last night and somebody actually bid 30 times - no joke!

- It is unnecessary to write a 7 page University essay describing the item, player, history, etc. We already know all of that!

Just some quick clarification. Are you referring to shilling? Otherwise wouldn't this hurt a buyer who really wants an item? If they get outbid 3 times they would be elongated from contention.

Or do you mean enter 3 total max bids?

I am so tired of getting burned on unauthentic items. How about mandatory 2 independent authenticators already approving the items.
