Registered users receive additional benefits such as daily updates and the right to participate in our user feedback forum and the bulletin board Welcome to eBay s luctionWeb. Please read on about the AuctionWeb vision. From the founder: I launched eBay's AuctionWeb on Labor Day, 1995. Since then, this site has become more popular than I ever expected, and I began to realize that this was indeed a grand experiment in Internet commerce. February 26, 1996 By creating an open market that encourages honest dealings, I hope to make it easier to conduct business with strangers over the net Host people are honest. And they mean well. Some people go out of their way to make things right. I've heard great stories about the honesty of people here. But some people are dishonest. Or deceptive. This is true here, in the newsgroups, in the classifieds, and right next door. It's a fact of life But here, those people can' t hide. We'll drive them away. Protect others from them. This grand hope depends on your active participation. Become a registered user. Use our feedback forum. Give praise where it is due: make complaints where appropriate. For the past six months, I've been developing this system single-handedly, in my spare time. Along the way, I've dealt with complaints among participants. But those complaints have amounted to only a handful. We' ve had close to 10,000 auctions since opening. And only a few dozen complaints Now, we have an open forum. Use it. Make your complaints in the open. Better yet, give your praise in the open. Let everyone know what a joy it was to deal with someone. Above all, conduct yourself in a professional manner. Deal with others the way you would have them deal with you Remember that you are usually dealing with individuals, just like yourself. Subject to making mistakes. Well-meaning, but wrong on occas31on. That's just hman. We can live with that. We can deal with that. We can still make deals with that Thanks for participating. Good luck, and good businesS!

Someone aent me a check from Virginia, postmarked 9/19 Just rec'd it today. λ letter taking almost TWO WEEKS from the 10/02/96 USPS. This as from Virginia to Texas, BT And, to all you non-chatters...pppphhhhuvuvttttt (sound of a large Hi, here is a copy of a suggestion I sent to Auctionveb. What raspberry) User Date: Time: 16:41:10 PDT 10/02/96 you think of the suggestion? Since I've only been here a couple of months I don't knou if this has been brought up efore or not. Anyrays, it you 1ike the suggestion, let Auctionveb knou! I have a suggestion for hov an auction ends. I vas Just shut out of raiaing my bid on an item because the auction ended. I UAS the high-bidder but s0meone raised the bid three minutes efore it closed. I as online tor Just this possibility but, as I said, still ran out of time. I do try to make my first bid the price I'm villing to pay. But it's hard to do that exactly, and I tend to aluays think I have elbou room of a ple doilars, eapeciai1y atter having lost an item in the final minute by 50 cents a teg times already. Anyways, here's auggestion: Introduce a tinal phase to the auctions. Three hours before an auction closes a elock begins counting down If there are no bids vithin this three-hour period then the auct1on end a scheduled. If there IS a bld then the clock re ets to three hour". Th15 U111 aluays give the person tho vas outbid three hours to reapond. Sellera should love thia cause final prices vill be higher. On all those auctions where I was outbid at the last minute, those sellers are the oneB yho lost out , because I wa ready to come back and rai=e it at least a feu more dollars--and who knows how high it uld've got in the heat of bidding. I think moat buyers il1 11ke 1t too, at least thoae vho have LOST in the laat teu tes of an auction. I'm going to post this on the bulletin board too aron Hinkhouse John, Date: 10/02/96 Time: 16:10:49 PDT I could send you this in an ema1l, but thanks for the offer and I'm ready..these guys take life tar too seriously when this little bit of light banter lasted but for a feu sigh.I vonder hor their spouses and significant thers view their patience, sense of humor, adaptablity and i1ity Lighten up you guys...How soon you ALL forget that this ALL started as a ray to lighten things up while Ebay vas having procedural problems and EVERTONE vas SO000 HOT under the ollar about something that vas going to get tixed as soon a3 Jeft and Pierre could get it 1ixed.
