Ebay prices!!!!

[MCTID]

When an item sells out and the Seller has no stock......and it may be some time until they have more stock, the price shoots up to a silly figure.....I don't know it it's automatic or the Seller does it manually.

It does this so that the Seller doesn't have to pull the advert and have to redo it later when he holds more stock........and and we all know how long it takes to put something onto E Bay !

I asked the question of a Seller some years ago and that's what he told me anyway.

What a rubbish system.

Even the basic Wordpress shop removes a product from the buyers search when out of stock (unless you allow backorders). When you tell it you have more it automatically goes back up.

I suspect it is more to do with circumnavigating some of eBay listing / final value fee costs for business sellers ... if they have taken advantage of cheap listing offers these auctions are still covered so when they get more stock they don't pay again and reduce the price to sell again

It all makes sense. It still doesn't get round CD175 sidepanel badges for £195, though as said, if they sell for that they must be worth the price.
