SallyG Valued Member Australia 393 Posts	Posted Today 9H 10M ago Has anyone else tried out the new "live" auctions on ebay? A couple of well known dealers have run auctions using this new format. I tried participating in them but found it incredibly frustrating and even impossible to even place a bid on the last auction! For such a well established platform as ebay and for such high profile dealers as the ones involved, I would have expected a more professional product. I think the last attempt was extraordinarily amateurish. Just wondering if anyone else here tried participating in any of those "live" auctions and if you did, were you able to place a bid? I might try one more auction and hope the teething problems have been ironed out. Sounds like a great concept but so far it seems to be a monumental flop. Sad really. Anyone have any luck yet?

Sounds like this new option has been rushed.

Accidentally clicked on one and it seemed to be a bad way to impulse buy problem coins.

Taking them off the list ended the notifications. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 193278 Posts	Posted Today 3H 15M ago I removed all the saved sellers I had from my Ike project. That cut down the notifications a lot. I now only have it set to email, no app notifications. I only have the three saved seller that I bought older coins from, they might have my "last three" show up.
