Should you change your fixed price listings to "pseudo" auctions?



I was recently looking to make a purchase on eBay and noticed the "Auctions Ending Soon" featured on my search results.(see the picture above with the horizontal results for auctions) It dawned on me that listing items in a fixed price format doesn't make sense any more. The reason being is that buyers are now being pushed to auctions in the search results and you want your listings to get that visibility.

Consequently, you can list your items in a "pseudo" auction format. For instance, you can list your camera for a start price of $300 and a Buy it now price of $300 as well. This will get you more visibility for you listing because when the "auction" is ending you will get placement at the top of the search results and be featured.
