No More Dutch Auction On eBay

eBay has decided to discontinue Dutch Auction after finding out that not many people use it because Sellers don't find it economically viable while Buyers find it confusing. I have to agree with the confusion part!

Although I have been selling online for a few years now, I have to say that I never used Dutch Auction before and never bothered to read and understand how it works. I guess basically when I could list and sell my items with a profit quickly and without problems, I see no reason why I should take the trouble to learn about Dutch Auctions, which may even raise my overall listing cost.

Well, frankly, with eBay removing Dutch Auction, I wouldn't even miss it and judging from the number of people who actually use it, most sellers and buyers wouldn't either! What about you?
