Default The solution

Sell your cards here.
Sell your other stuff on Craig's List.
Keep your money and your sanity.
But you can still purchase on Ebay because it's completely catered to the buyer (and the "store owner")

That is if you can find anything there. The selection of material for auction has gone so far down it's pathetic. You can't even tell what market value is on anything because of all the ridiculous BIN's by sellers. They all have them jacked up so high just hoping some sucker will come along and bite. I'm sure the recession has a lot to do with it but Ebay needs to look in the mirror if they want that kind of traffic to come back.

Default It is no joke

I got booted at one point because the rolling average of my DSR fell below 4.0 or whatever. I was livid at the time. I can understand the idea of blocking a bidder who wasn't a 5 star rater just to avoid a future problem.

The problem is with Ebay's draconian system, not with the seller.

Default Just a Thought

Has anyone considered auctioning off cards on the BST? I haven't really thought it through...maybe it wouldn't work. Just a thought

The new system is stupid when "very good" can get you suspended. I always offer free shipping and insurance on everything I list, but somehow I have a 4.5 rating for shipping charges.

As already noted, 4 can get you banned, but bidders are explicitly told 4 means "Very Good." Many bidders are reasonably and rationally assuming that when they give a 4, they are giving a positive review. If bidders were told a 4 means Sub Par or Below Average, then it would be a different story. 99.99 percent of the English speaking world interprets "very good" as a compliment, a clear statement of approval. Why? Because, as evidenced by any English dictionary you pick up, that's what it means.

Default Leon auctioned off a very expensive card in BST

as a test to see if the Brockleman/Luckey partnership could expand on that card. Leon did well and B&L was born.

This is, of course, IIRC

P.S. If I'm wrong; peasant Leon can just delete this post and we'll all move on with your lives
