Now for a couple questions for ya--------------
Why doesn't ebay give us BEST OFFER ACCEPTED ??
example was a rare Italian Major Asso Luxe exc with a starting price of 499.99. it sold with best offer but the bay will not show it ??? why ???

another question --- why does everything start with BEST MATCH ??? how do they know what my best match is??
ever time you change cat. it goes to best match ?
