So what about those sellers that put in the research and time to figure this out themselves? Now eBay just hands their niche over to hundreds or thousands of other sellers?

The key question is whether they will be waiving the DSR and Buyer Satisfaction metrics for Diamond PowerSellers?

More attempted manipulation of sellers to do what eBay want them to do. The existing search function doesn’t work properly. Why not fix that before letting loose with some other fancy bit of software that I wouldn’t trust for a second. If I was a seller, I wouldn’t be taking any notice of In Demand at all. It won’t come to AU ‘cos there’s no demand for anything on eBay there any more.

Well I have mixed feelings on this. I heard you have to be a powerseller and there are stringent requirements on even utilizing this new feature…. I can see the value in it, but those who need more help with product selection and sourcing, i.e. people who do not quality, would probably benefit the most from this, but can’t…. so I’m not sure how much good this will do.

#1 Agree – I have little confidence that their busted search machine will do anything useful – this is 95% a marketing exercise with added special trojan horse sauce!
The objective is to wean you off your own listings and into the brave new eBay catalogue listing world where they will continue to increase their control of your business and dictate terms into every part of your business model.
Another piece of the Amazon.lite jigsaw just appeared – don’t say you havn’t been warned.

I am astonished ebay manage to understand or trust their own search to highlight these products.
search drives me nuts.
sick of ebay seach showing what it wants ,rather than what I want, if there is no exact match to my search.
