I happened to be checking on current prices for the Nintendo Wii game console and browsed the listings on eBay.
Here are a couple of screen shots showing the search results:
This is of the "featured items":
... and this one is from "Highest to Lowest" pricing:
WOW!! the pricing of "featured items" ranged from ~$1,700 to $20,000 US. In the regular listings, the highest priced Nintendo Wii was listed at $5 million!!!
I suppose we all wish that we could list an item and receive far more than its worth (like millions more and simply retire). Surely we can all expect, out of the "goodness" of someone's heart, such outrageous purchase prices - but - seriously - this is making eBay the equivalent of a rotten Email program that not only doesn't block any SPAM; it supports and promotes the creation of SPAM. Ebay's listings are simply becoming inundated with more and more garbage and finding valid items within this slue of garbage is becoming ever more problematic.
From my view, it is becoming so hard to sift through search results that eBay is becoming a joke. I am not sure what can be done - maybe a rule that forbids pricing above suggested retail without some truly valuable and tangible asset being added to the item? Maybe separating these baloney listings into a separate category?
Is eBay becoming too cluttered with such garbage for you as well? What are your ideas or suggestions for eBay?
