Re: No, the brokers just hire bunches of people to wait in line and/or

I do a lot of ebay selling--trinkets and widgets. When I was new to eBay--and Ebay was simpler in 2001, I filled in every little detail one-at-a-time on eBay. It could take 1/2 hour or more to put a listing up.

But, as eBay evolved and as a seller you can learn the ropes to put a listing up quickly.

EBay allows a seller to post the listing to ebay, but you can specify the starting time days or weeks in the future. Very convenient for people like me who likes to post my ebay listings at 2:00 AM; but I can schedule it to start when most people are awake. For tickets, you could pre-load listings on the assumption you will successfully be able to buy them; or cancel it if you fail to get the tickets.

Once one listing is up, you can duplicate it in less than a minute by just a few keystrokes; great for people selling more than one of the same item.

Also, ebay allows you to save a selling template. All a seller would have to do with tickets is enter in the details: artist, date, time, venue, seat number, and the all rest can be automatically filled in by default settings.

And, there is software you can use to fill in your ebay listings on your own computer, then press upload the whole thing to ebay.

Ebay is getting more and more Bigger Business oriented. I mean, more of the sellers are small or medium or big businesses, as opposed to people like me selling inherited tchotkies. If you are selling 1,000 items a month you need to make listing them fast, and ebay is meeting that need (for a fee!)
