Hello,
ebaY supports multiple business models and you the category team should understand that and appreciate that.
There are some sellers who want to upload unending inventory even if none of it sells. Fine have a max listing fee of Rs.1500/- for them.
But there are a few sellers who a very limited inventory of say 5 or 10 products like me and who do not mind paying any amount to showcase their inventory to the maximum number of buyer.
Restricting sellers to list less than the 10 allowed at present would do irreparable damage to their business. Their listing would simply be lost in the spam which will be created by the Rs.1500/- max listers.
So if I may go out, I can suggest the following. Let the new multiple listing policy be only applicable to those who opt for the Rs.1500/- cap. If seller like me want to have 100 listings of the same product and are willing to pay the requiste fees, they should not be restricted.
The new policy on .com allows a seller to list a product as many times his heart desires or as many times his business needs.
Do not in any case lower the max listing limit from the current 10. Infact I would go so far as to say, follow the .com model and allow to list as many times as possible.
Infact I has suggested that the Rs.1500/- should only be avaiable to sellers how can show a good conversion rate, say of 20%. Like say they can sell 1 listing out of 5. Only than it would make sense for them to have a listing fee rebate.
I can sell one listing out of 5 even after having 10 listings of the same product.
