PLEASE!! Excuse me if anyone feels their toes being stepped on - I'm posing a question I'm really interested in. I've had this conversation with several TTers and none of us had any answers.

I have a number of field-of-interest categories sent to me daily from eBay, like being a Watcher but in advance: it shows the newest listings. Unfortunately, I have so many categories checked and have daily business to transact as well as having moderating duties on some lists, that when the new postings in each category are show, I get only 16 images/a page's worth. I don't have time to go to each category and see every one of the listings that're new since I last checked. So all I view are those 16 images: even mine don't show up there as there are so many new entries daily. But why would one want to fill the lists with copies of the same kit(s) and pay for each listing???

Of course, Needle Felting is one of the categories, but out of the 16 images I can view, more than half of them are taken up with *individual* auctions for kits - the same kits!

So my question is, why would a person list more than one copy of any one kit, with the fees being so high for each auction?
Wouldn't it be more feasible to post the type of auction that says "16 available"?
Or put them into an eBay shop? I don't get the reasoning behind it.

And not a small part of this (to me) is that I see only 4 - 8 actual needled items in my category view every day out of a page of 16 images with links to open each of them. I'd like to see more actual pieces done than the same kits every day for months (years) on end.

Opinions, please?
