The continued downfall of ebay - the latest problem and a work-around solution.

Thanks for the heads up on that -

I find this practice no more or less annoying than when BST sellers delete their selling price after sale.

I have been finding the best offer annoying though. Thanks for the tip

[the-illini]

the Australia link no longer works for me - guess they have changed it already...

[TNP777]

I've seen a lot of people using .ca

All the international sites will eventually be switched as well - we've seen it happen before. Once again, let's fix what ain't broken.

Which reminds me... hey, Paul (BBG)- how does this fit in with your "semi-transparency"?

[cobb1969]

Might be a pain, but if you do a search of closed items and have them listed at highest or lowest first you can see where your item would fall in price. It doesn't give you the exact price but it gives you what it would fall between.

It's really strange for me. If I go to the completed listings and check the Buy It Now selling price, and then click on the item, it changes! This is when I do it from my Android. One item said it sold for $750. When I clicked on it, it said the final price was $999. What am I missing here?

This annoys me also.

[sports-rings]

In searching the web for a solution, I had read that ebay phone apps have not been changed yet to hide the actual selling price.

[sports-rings]

now I see that the "history" link which shows the number of offers is gone. when I use a different country the history and offers will show up.

Why does ebay contineu to torture me?

[itjclarke]

This is a great trick, thanks to the OP for sharing.. I just got ca and co.uk to work, and got prices on a few I'd been really curious about. Didn't think it had until I clicked on the items again and it showed price and comp price in pounds.

What impact will this hidden "final sales price" have on VCP and other trolling info re-packagers? I would guess that eBay's new practice will make it impossible for such re-sellers of info to account for a BIN/BOs.

I think deleting pricing on our BST is a polite thing to do for the buyer. But that is just me and I know others disagree. The only thing I don't want to see over there, and this is in the rules, is folks deleting all info. That will get you a warning. The reason being is that if everyone did that it would kind of look stupid over there... . I think we have one of the most active BST's on the net, for vintage cards, and want to keep it that way. Everyone does a great job as I very rarely need to get involved. Caveat emptor over there too. Be careful, you are on your own, for the most part.

I am still trying to get my sea legs, so to speak,

As far as ebay problems, we at Net54 are a very small percentage of sellers and buyers on ebay. Just look at the number of different catagories. We collectors on NET54 sometimes forget this and complain about it often. EBAY is not there just for us.
