slapped | 05-30-2010 12:13 PM | I have seen that for a Long time, I Never tried it though, I have always felt that as soon as you make an Auction "Private" it invites Ebay to take a closer look at it.
Remember a Private Auction is ONLY Private to other Ebay MEMBERS NOT, EBAY itself.
As far as the feedback, Yea I might be able to see an advantage keeping it private, Potential buyers are left in the dark as to why a particular negative feedback was issued.
But the truth is that it does not matter to Ebay WHY it was Negative, only that is was Negative, as for the buyers, negatives will "turn off" some buyers, but depending on how popular the item is, it may not even matter. |
