This & That
1) Feedback Follow-through
By Ina Steiner

Sometimes a feedback or two can slip through the cracks if you're doing a lot of auctions. Since we feel it's the most important way of recommending a buyer or seller to others, we encourage you to keep up to date with it. There's also a page on eBay that allows you to view transactions completed in the past 90 days for which you have not left feedback yet. You might be surprised what you've missed! http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?LeaveFeedbackShow

2) For the Person Who Has Everything,...

3) eBay Category Changes
By Ina Steiner

I received a letter from a reader who was upset with eBay's recent changes to the jewelry categories. She did not wish her name to be used. Her letter read in part: "They have basically lumped all Victorian and Edwardian jewelry into the Costume category. Silver is now considered fine, and is broken up to pins, necklaces', pendants, bracelets, rings. Not very good for browsing. They got rid of the ethnic silver category, which was used for Mexican amongst other things. The listings for jewelry have dropped off by 150,000 in just this week alone.

"EBay also can't seem to understand why we would be so upset about the timing of this, since it was done on Mon. just before the Christmas buying season. Their overall all suggestion is to list in two catagories, gee doubling our fee's and enriching Ebay's coffers."

If you have an opinion about eBay's changes to the Jewelry category or any other category, leave a posting in our forum: http://www.auctionbytes.com/bin/messagebbs/view.pl
