from 12.2 million to 13.7 million listings so far--in the past when eBay had a sale Marketworks used to have delays of 2-8 hours. Today however:

Quote:Current launch delay is less than ten minutes.

The short delay isn't a good sign for eBay.

I used to hate eBay sale days because it meant my Yahoo launches would be delayed for hours, but today Yahoo and Overstock listings are going up almost immediately from MW without any eBay sale caused launch delays.

The attitude towards sales days on eBay's boards has changed too this year from "thank you ebay" to "thank you ebay, now my sell through rate will suck for the next 7 days"
