Question
Hi-
I read your bio and it seemed that you might know something about online purchasing other than eBay, so here goes. I found this website:
http://www.atoncer.com/clothing/trenchcoats-raincoats.htm
which has an item I wish to buy:
"Men's Regular Microfiber Raincoat" which is listed on the top row of pictures, third from left. I clicked on it to try to bid or purchase it but it does not appear on the next page. Can you figure out how or if the raincoat can be purchased or bid on? Thanks!
It appears that the first page is a storefront. Once you click an item it takes you to the auction/buy pages. The item is not there which indicates to me that the item has either sold out or is no longer available. The storefront page probably does not update automatically based on the actual items for sale. This is why you see it on one page but not the other.
Your best bet is to go to the auction pages and do a search for what you are looking for there. Then you will see what is actually available.

Hi there! After being a member of the eBay "community" for the past ten years, I have decided to look elsewhere to sell my items. Ebay has, and will agiain in the next month, instituted rediculous policies and fee increases that are not beneficial to the small seller. They are positioning themselves to be another site such as Amazon and are forcing sellers to reduce or eliminate shipping charges (even when they must pay to ship items) as well as preventing the acceptence of checks or money orders as payment. This is all geared to improve eBay's bottom line. I will still be happy to help answer most any question you may have regarding the buying and selling experience on eBay based on my experiences. However, I am looking at sites such as ebid.net that are much more favorable to us small sellers and buyers. You may want to check them out as well.
Experience
I've been an active member on eBay for almost ten years. I started buying and selling as a hobby and turned it into a business that I ran from home for a time.
Education/Credentials
Nothing special here. Some college. Went to work in the computer industry when the PC was just rolling out to the desktops of the world. I'm streetsmart and self taught in most things I know. Especially with eBay and online selling.
