I have queried customer support for a way to filter out auctions with a reserve when searching. You can't do it yet.

Just one sellers comments.....HUNDREDS like this from sellers today, many of whom have ended ALL OF THEIR AUCTIONS and are moving to Gold's (?? I don't even know who they are, but I will find out!) From the chat board....it is worth noting this seller has 236 positive comments....no negatives, to their credit. Doesn't sound like a "crackpot" to me, sounds like Ebay may be in the middle of a mad dash to the EXITS! Posted by plums (236) on 08/20/99 at 15:41:52 PDT I have been with e-bay over a year now. I can not believe the charges you are making! First the new pages, then the crashs! I really don't like reserve auctions either however there are somethings that need to have them! I like to start my auctions low and see them go up, it's fun to me. However, when I start my auctions low and then you crash for 6 hours then come up one hour before my auctions are going to close with NO search, No Gallery, NO My e-bay, etc! I'm told right here on this board sorry cancel your auctions...BUT guess what that feature doesn't work either! So who lost??? Sure your stock went down for a day, but if I refused to sale my items what would happen to my stock ie rating on e-bay??? How many negatives would I have received? I wouldn't be able to over come that in a day or two! I don't believe you anymore! It's like the abuser who is always sorry, but hits again. I feel abused by you and you say your sorry, but you just keep hitting! I have register today with Golds & Yahoo. When my auctions are over I will be done with you. You losing a good customer here who loved to be a part of e-bay back in the good old days. I can have fun and make a little money somewhere else! You have just heard the humble voice of "the little guy", Ebay's bread and butter....there are some SERIOUSLY ANGRY folks over there right now!
