There was some interesting news for both buyers and sellers of merchandise on eBay recently.  It was reported that eBay shares have risen dramatically recently.  It is thought that this is due at least in part to eBay's latest strategy of showcasing the best rated sellers and working to make the overall shopping experience more pleasant for visitors.

In my opinion, this is great news.  I've always enjoyed selling on eBay and also browsing to see what was up for sale.  One problem though was having to be careful of the occasional less than steller seller who had little regard for the buyer.  Those low rated sellers are now being bumped by the sellers who do their best to provide a quality product and superior service.  It's great to see the people who do the best work being rewarded while at the same time making the buying experience that much better.
