I just LOVE it when eBay offers such incentives!  What to list... what to list.

Wow.
I think I have a few listings running.
I'll go in and put my own border for FREE.  LOL

Naw why waste my time.

I still have credit with them, maybe I can use it on the borders  lol

Attract buyers, increase bids

I'd like to see eBay publish the actual percentage increases in buyers/bids for each of its listing enhancements.

I purposely do NOT buy from a seller that uses the purple border.  I figure if they can be talked into that asinine feature, I probably don't want to buy from them.  But then... I'm an ass.
