eBay Picks Buyers Over Small-Time Sellers

Every time we've mentioned eBay lately, we've received a long list of complaints in the comments about how awful eBay is. It's become quite clear that there's plenty of dissatisfaction with the company -- and a big part of the problem seems to be figuring out who eBay is really representing: buyers or sellers. In theory, as an impartial marketplace, eBay should be able to serve both sides. After all, you need both sides to be happy to make the marketplace truly effective. However, with growing concerns of fraud on eBay, it seems that the company has recognized that it's more important to focus on improving the experience for buyers -- and less so for sellers, especially the smaller sellers. Witness eBay's recent change to ban sellers from offering feedback on buyers.

Art works Auctioned online

June 18th and 19th Saffronart features an online auction covering 140 works by 67 modern and contemporary Indian artists. These will be accompanied by preview events in New York and Mumbai. This is one of those rare occurrences in the Indian art world, when both modern and contemporary artists are being showcased in the same market to the world at large.
