That Squeel In My Auction
It appears that eBay has a problem with their system. And as any good System's Engineer knows, the first place to look for problems with your control system is in the feedback loop. Well, eBay has made an interesting discovery - no feedback is better than bad feedback.
While open-loop systems can work, they only work well when you can effectively model the input - output behavior of the system. I wonder how eBay's experiment will turn out...
