what i noticed on ebay is that a lot of members try to sell "1 cent product" just to receive a sort of free feedback. the only aim is to encrease their number of feedback.
is it possible to avoid digital sending of products? and what do you think about this phenomenon? do you think ebay staff should abolish the selling of 1 cent product?

I always thought they started at 1 cent to save on listing fees in hope that people will bid to a much higher amount. A friend of mine used to always put 99cnets and then complain when there was only the one bid and she had to sell the item for that price.

thanks. well, it is not precisely a bid. I saw that people sell product for 1 cent, so that they don't have to pay for fees, and they just exchange their feedback with the others at the end of the transaction. it is only a way to increase your feedback number, you know.
