Lots of sellers are going to be pissed off!

BTW that's not all the categories! I checked the links above. Where's mine? Since it's not in those lists should I assume that my items will not be included?

Maybe. You could always get around it by listing them in the wrong category (tickets maybe?) and keyword spamming like some sellers.

In the very beginning, I said Express would be a train wreck. I still stand by that statement.

I thought eBay Express was designed to encourage l
shopping amongst non existing buyers? Icon_scratch

Right now things seem to be so surreal
at least on the boards for the most part.
It's so BOARING anymore over there. Sleepy1

I think it's the calm before the Express storm.

I've already stocked up on the popcorn and tissues because
I have this feeling that soon the boards will once again be lit up
with POed sellers and "whiners" when they get scammed by all those
non confirmed addresses they are going to ship out too.

At least I'll have all my snacks ready so as not to miss the show
and the tissues to wipe my tearing eyes as
I'm LMAO watching the train wreck known as ebay.
Laughing4

On a side note.
I've noticed a lot of the PP regular cheerleaders have scaled
back posting right now.

They probably got a memo from Lieworld telling them
"to take a break now because pretty soon they will be
needed FULL force x three" to defend and
berate all the poor pissed off
customers who are going to get scammed.

I like it.

Oh I am sure they will $crew it up royally, they always do.

But the concept knocks out my three biggest problems on eBay:

* Foreign sellers (China) with stinky low overhead and super high shipping that the customers do not notice.

* Non paying buyers.

* 99 cent auctions creating get-it-super-cheap (aka "flea market") expectations.

Oh yeah, there is: * lack-of-customers.
Three out of four isn't bad.
