<p>eBay Live Auctions is a section of the site where sellers can take items to local major auction houses (Sotherby's, Christies, etc.) and they run a live auction from their location, including bidders from eBay.</p><p>This program has it's niche following, but it's not really the &quot;core eBay&quot; that we keep hearing about. As of the end of 2008, eBay will be discontinuing this part of the site.</p><p>According to Jim Ambach, &quot;...<em>we need to make sure our resources are aligned with our priorities. In the case of Live Auctions, maintaining and improving this platform falls outside our immediate focus.&quot;</em></p><p>You can read the full annoucement <a title="ebay announcement" href="http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200804151300402.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I don't think this will impact too many eBay sellers or buyers since most of these major auction houses maintain their own website where bidders can participate in the auction.</p> 9 application/xml false ebay ebay live auctions ebay seller sell on ebay selling format learn all the ins and outs of eBay from an eBay Gold PowerSeller http://www.skipmcgrath.com/products/ebaypackage.shtml Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.0.04506) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 mcgrrrrr 76.22.105.114 false true false false true 135199 blog blogsite/SkipMcGrath/web
