.20 core listings promo (for India sellers)...
The eBay seller discussion boards are all a chatter about this promotion that gives .20 discounted core listings in the US for Indian sellers.
The general thoughts are:
* Why is eBay promoting US core to other countries? At eBay Live, Bill Cobb said that international seller verification would be coming, but now here you have a promo that lets unverified sellers potentially flood the US with listings. Certainly scammers and bad guys will rush to this opportunity.
* The general conspircacy theory is that eBay is using this as a clever way to boost their core listing numbers for Wall St. without Wall St. knowing the boost came from a n out-of-country listing promotion.
eBay Strategies readers chime in: Harmless promotion for our seller friends in India or diabolical plan to hype the stock?

I am not thrilled about this promotion. I can say that if I see listing violations by these sellers I will definitely be hitting the report button; and I usually do not take the time to do that!
Alas, these types of "schemes" is exactly what I have come to expect from eBay management over the last year, so it really isn't a surprise.
Scot, it almost seems like eBay management has secretly been replaced with look alikes who have a different agenda than Meg and Bill had 12 - 18 months ago.

Its quite obvious that Ebay are using underhand tactics to pump their figures. First they give free listings to China, then they subsidise India too. Hmmmmm, what do these 2 countries have in common? ahhhh! Large populations. I assume Moldova is quite a way down the list before they receive discounts.

Who is calling a one-day promotion a conspiracy? Give eBay a break.
