Ebay continually comes up with more and more ways to make it harder to sell
items, without paying those extra fees. I also sell LEGOS on ebay, at times
and I've noticed that items without pictures, or gallery images don't seems
to result in my search unless I go from the Browse- building toys link.
Then, whenever I go to that point, It seems that I'm missing out on items
still. What's up with this?

doesn't have full coverage ahyway.
