Ebay now has "good until canceled" auctions. Prepare for a flood of overpriced crud

So it's like Yahoo Japan now?

 

You can't search for stuff on Yahoo Auctions that's ended. The only way you can see the page is if you have a URL link to it. Even then Yahoo only keep the pages online for 120 days.

You know what gets me about EBay is the cost need to pay to use the service and why oh why are the images so fucking small????? Even Yahoo's default size is much bigger plus you can add your own pictures of any size for FREE.

You can do that on ebay too, always could!

 

Yeah by using HTML in the listing body.

Ebay plans on July 2 to expand their own picture hosting free to all items by any sellers. Not just the current approach of limited categories, or everywhere only for "stores" subscribers.
Probably with a catch... You know they aren't giving it away.

Ive been able to create "good 'till cancelled" listings for at least a couple of months, maybe even over a year. While it never ends, it actually still has a 30-day timer that automatically restarts after the 30 days, and it still charges 50cents every time the timer resets for another 30 days, so really its no different than its ever been.

 

"Buy it now" perhaps. Are you sure they were auction format?

 

Ah, missed that part. Sorry :stupid:

 

Explains why the Robocop GCN I've been paying attention to hasn't ended. Supposedly awful game but much harder to find cheap on cube.
