eBay is discontinuing Dutch Auctions on May 6, 2009, because we've found that most of our sellers are now listing multiple items with Fixed Price or Store Inventory formats. These formats are easier and more cost-effective for sellers and less confusing for buyers. This change only affects auction-style listings with a quantity of 2 or more products. You can still list multi-quantity products in Fixed Price or Store Inventory formats.

Your single-quantity auction-style listings will be business as usual - this change will not affect them in any way.

Any Dutch Auction listings that are already live on May 6 will not be cancelled, but you will not be able to list any new online auctions with a multiple quantity (2 or more) in any category. After May 6, 2009, if you relist an online auction with a multiple quantity, you'll see the quantity reset to 1.

Yet another reason to stop using them (as if I needed more).

Ebay is losing the plot. I predict Bonanzle will be of more value for collectors before long..

Some of the sellers I use to deal with have moved over to Amazon. No bidding and all that but I can still find stuff decently priced.
