eBay – Is reviewing what it call its Trust and Safety policies.
They are looking at areas including Non-paying bidders,
User Identification, and Feedback, and are looking at ways to
make these safer, fairer, and more useful. They will be bringing
these areas up for discussion when they fee it is useful through
Public Forums on their boards, emails, and customer research.
TAGnotes will publish times and dates for these events when possible

The system was experiencing some glitches and some features were only
working intermittently or not at all for a couple of hours (1900-2100
PT)but all seems to be running smoothly since.

Yahoo- No change since TAGnotes Vol 1 Number 13, sent another
message to them. Gave the Yahoo listing page a thorough look. It is
very user friendly and is running a very close second to Golds listing
page for ease of use. It also has many more options than most listing
pages, allowing the seller a much greater degree of control over most
aspects of the auction. Definitely worth a tryout, even if just to give
ideas for suggestions to make to your favorite auction site as to
changes they should make.
