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? |

Interesting. This is a new format to me. Maybe I should start reading the emails I get from ebay.  Sounds like this new option has been rushed.  |

Yes, I get notifications on my phone almost every day, which I hate, and I can't find a way to unsubscribe from them!

I was getting them on my phone. Accidentally clicked on one and it seemed to be a bad way to impulse buy problem coins. Quote:

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. |

I did not think you would.  But if you find yourself with a few extras...  |
