Richmond and San Jose are much more closely linked than you imagine. ;o)

I know what your mesage was Dan, what I am trying to say is, what happens closer to the everyday running of ebay is of much more importance to me,
long term plans whilst important dont really have that much affect on what I am listing this week, though schemes and plans slipped in under the radar by the awks of Richmond, can be catastrophic

I’m not suggesting that you invest in eBay: in many ways it’s been a bad stock these past few years. I must declare my interest: I own two shares in eBay. ;o)

But the info is invaluable. Norf: you’ve thrown in your lot with a business that frankly doesn’t know (and perhaps doesn’t much care) who you are. For one half hour or so every three months, you’ll get a good sense of whats going on in the business you depend on.

Used to subscribe to the Marketplace Research Tool, but as it was completely inaccurate (I searched my own stuff regularly to ensure accuracy, it was never right so God knows what else was missing) for info, I dropped it.

Has it improved? Many days it could not be accessed at all and for Â£12.99 a month (at the time I think), a lot of money to waste while it was down.

the ebay announcements board is a joke. you wont find anything their other than old news or involved corporate prattle , the “biggest shop in the world” your lucky if you get more than a few announcements a month,
a vibrant market place should have a vibrant announcement board, that is an interesting must read, I learn more here in a week than anything that ebay offers

Blocked each other? Subsidiary IDs? You aren’t being determined enough.

Time for better espionage. They’re buying from you despite the apparent detente. Believe me.

If you arenâ€™t buying from your key competitors (incognito of course!) then youâ€™re missing a trick.

Believe me, I’d love to. Sadly we have blocked each other and subsidiary ids (to avoid ‘misunderstandings’ of course).

Is there an ebay affiliate mystery shopper? Nice little opening for someone perhaps?
