Ebay Auction Extender Policy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excuse my ignorance, but what on earth is Ebay spokesperson, Sarah Brubacher, talking about when she states the following:
"***Policy Clarification: Auction Extensions Prohibited***
January 29, 2007 | 02:07PM PST/PT
Hi...This is Sarah Brubacher with eBay's Global Policy team in Trust & Safety. We're making a change to our Fee Circumvention policy to clarify that auction extensions are not allowed on the eBay marketplace.
Third-party auction extender tools allow sellers to automatically extend auction-style listings beyond their stipulated duration. Auction extensions using these tools, or done manually, are banned."
I have been selling on Ebay for more than six years and I have never heard of such a thing. People have been able to just extend their auction by utilizing outside software and this was permitted, until now? That just seems crazy to me and would absolutely seem to be a circumvention of fees since Ebay does charge a fee for auctions of certain duration. I have never heard of this practice and, as Ebay tends to do, they tell you the practice is barred without explaining what they are talking about.
