ebay now wants us to sell.....

[gungadin]

hey guys!
just heard that from april 2011, all ebay items being listed in the electronics section must be listed with another similar item from their catalog or something....?

i dont yet fully understand what they mean by that, but could it be they want to move more stuff by getting traders to readvertise stuff already on ebay?

and if your listings dont have the 2nd item from their catalog, they will remove your listings!

can anyone shed any light on this new move pls?

PS i posted it here on the UK forum, as not sure yet if it also refers to USA and other countries.

It means that eBay is trying to become Amazon, using Amazon style listings. In other words, listing by UPC/ISBN/EAN. eBay has this (at least on the US site) for DVD's, books and video games. Also some GPS systems.
