Hello halwawala_in1,
Glad to see you on discussion boards today and thanks for the warm welcome.
Please allow me to assure you that we are very serious about understanding and solving issues that are faced by our users. You would have noticed that a series of changes have happened in the past year to localise the eBay business and make it more relevant to Indian sellers and buyers.

Regarding policies, as you would agree with me, eBay benefits by having policies that are most favourable for its users. However, as you would appreciate, it is a tough challenge to balance interest of all users groups involved with eBay, including our sellers, buyers, law of the land and eBay itself. Something that might be good for sellers, might not be a great thing for buyers. Similarly, something which is great for new sellers, might not be as beneficial for existing sellers. Thus at times we are forced to make decisions that we think will benefit the majority of our users in the long run. Having said the above, we continue to monitor and investigate impact of various policies on our users, and modifying them if required.
Seller defined bid increment – To be honest, I don’t foresee this project being taken up by our team in the near future because of the commonality in the global platform (while it may not meet your need, I’d rather be honest than assure you that I will look into it).
I also wanted to thank you for your contribution , conduct and feedback of the Calcutta seminar. Navin and Rajesh were very thankful for your support and I wanted to appreciate that investment of time that you and others have made.
Please feel free to post your other questions if any.
Regards
Gautam
