eBay Express wins Steve Weber’s online bookselling muff of the year Grand Prize

Hey, whatever happened to eBay Express?

I’ll admit, I was one of the first to drink the Kool-Aid and believe the hype.

What’s happened since then?

Nuttin.

I’ve had two sales on Express since it started. And this was eBay’s Amazon Marketplace killer? Well, Amazon has been pretty weak lately, but at least there’s still a pulse.

Great article on AuctionBytes about this. Among the details: One eBay seller with 60,000 listings is getting three sales a week. Ouch!

    I think buyers didn’t care to find it. If they wanted an item they searched on it. If they wanted it now there are plenty of “Buy it Now” listings in most everything. So whats the point?

    Another crackpot scheme from eBay. I took most of my half-com listings and move them to eBay stores when they threateend to close Half.com. Now I have removed everything from eBay storeas and am in the process of putting it on Half.com or Amazon. They must hire Ebay people off the rejects from Enron

    eBay has long since forgot that humans are hunters! They actually LIKE to shop, and browse, and search! They like to find the thing they have to have but never knew they wanted! They like to find the Best Buy! eBay has simply lost touch with everything that made them unique! And when they got a little clue, that “core” business, they went the wrong way there too!By getting rid of the small unique store sellers they left the mega’s in place with tons of the same stuff cheap. They got RID of a good percentage of what was left of their real “core!” Sad, Sad, Sad!
