  1. I used HUMAN LEARNING to figure out that eBay has no clue pretty much about anything and that it is a soulless money grubbing theft-tastic entity.

  2. Cheap workforce? Explains causes of sales disruption and login issues. My listings are not showing up in searches. When i search for comps I can only see 5 items sold which may make me price items inadequately or incfluence decision of not putting item for sale thinking it is not selling or selling too low. Go figure.

  4. I use structured data to create listing titles. Unfortunately, some titles are too long and must be shortened or reordered for readability. I doubt if an algorithm will be of much use unless the category and Item specifics are the input to the algorithm. Structured data mirroring the title and description is posted in item specifics. It is unfortunate that some eBay required Item Specifics in the Stamps category are corrupted abbreviations instead of English phrases. It is also unfortunate that eBay does not use the Scott catalog number appearing in most US listings as an Item Specific. Catalog number identify defining properties like design, denomination, color, paper and manufacturing characteristics. Item Condition, grade, and quality Item Specifics and the Condition Description help determine relative pricing for each individual stamp.

    Perhaps the students would be better served to study thermodynamics. Starting with structured data to produce listings would provide better results than starting with unstructured data. How often does the local paint store offer to unmix paint?

  5. Thank you for GSM⁉️

  7. Yes. Yes. Fixing glitches promptly and creating board to report them that reflects also that the reported issues are being worked on.
    Fixing issue with staying logged in would be good start. „Stay signed in” preferences are being ignored you are logged out out every couple of minutes and you have to complete 2 captcha in raw of picking tall buildings.

  8. Why not develop an AI BOT to write titles and listings from catalog item specifics and the condition description? Could a more advanced version infer from listing images? The eBay website is going in the wrong direction with the “Advent Calendar” approach “optimized” for cell phones. Who can find errors and get an overview when so much is hidden?

    Can listing BOTS from third-party applications supplant the eBay supplied game of battleship that masquerades as a selling interface?

    How would eBay AI to deconstruct listings interpret AI created listings?
