I’ve headed to other places to sell. Right now, my biggest selling place is Atomic Mall. Fixed price or best offer, free to list, none of the eBay grief.

So, not really a surprise that this contest bombed as well. eBay keeps thinking from the bottom dollar side instead of the user side, and will always mess things up.

Yes, it’s sad that people have to spend their time on the promotion whereas bots and scripts who aren’t physically at a computer are winning Corvettes, Wiis, iPod Nanos, and $225 purses because they’re doing something hardly ethical. Why do the people who actually put time and effort lose?

It’s a “technical” issue in the sense that eBay should have thought of safegaurds. It’s a “technical” issue in the sense that bots are being coded to manipulate the current tech of the site.

A friend of mine asked me to make something that would allow him to do exactly what is described – see when a promoted item is on sale (on some small auction site in his country) and bid for it. First bidder wins.

That site was overrun by script-bidders, but my script managed to beat them a couple of times and my friend managed to buy something nice for his girlfriend.

Now 90% of my job is javascript… funny.
