Wow, well that is a piece of information that I did not know... Basic does not search the .com site.. that is very basic isnt it.
Regarding the Seller Pack... I asked the question .. what happens because I am already subscribed to Market Place Research Pro and I was told that I would receive the credit equivelant of the Basic. So although not free, the cost would be reduced.
Overall the cost of the program is too expensive for what I am doing. I would need to create 147 auction listings a month to break even and I am lucky if I can create one a day, so I fall way short of even just breaking even in this promotion.

apparently it does not matter how many people eBay dissapoints unless your a share holder.

Yes, I replied with the following:
It was with great hope and pleasure that I enrolled in this program, feeling that perhaps this would begin to level the playing field between Canadian and American sellers in the North American ebay marketplace.
I am deeply disappointed to have it recinded so quickly. While I am not privy to the details of why this decision was made, I must say it was, and is, very upsetting. Any faith that was instilled in the Canadian selling community that our issues were being heard and acted upon has now been dashed.

Add me to the list of the disappointed too. I wonder if the US eBayers complained or was it something else? Maybe not enough people signed up for it or something. :(
I use gallery on every listing, but I did not sign up for the program. At my listing pace, I can only create 1 or two listings a day, but I would have had to create 5 or 6 listings a day to just break even, an impossible task for me. I am however dissapointed to hear that it has been cancelled without really giving it any chance, and will be skeptical of any future Seller Pack experiments. We need concrete Selling Improvement/Incentives not this temporary try this try that and see if it works... where is the indepth research that eBay should be doing before the programs are rolled out.

And lets not forget pressue from US sellers complaining bitterly about perks for us igloo dwellers. That very much had a lot to do with the program's demise.
I would tend to agree with you, John. I honestly don't know how you compete selling small items against the U.S. sellers.
I honestly thought that the seller pack gave us a bit of a leg up in trying to compete. Even if Jordon's answer was true, why would they call off a program because only a few were taking advantage of it? Obviously, it was not costing them much if that was the case.
Like I said before, it is just disappointing. We had faith that .ca was going to give us the ability to complete on a more level playing field and now that has been dashed. :(
