As for scrolling past Dean's listings, it's something I do every day, but it's still annoying. Just last night, I cursed him as I scrolled past hundreds of his overpriced cards. Listings like his are essentially spam on eBay. They clog up searches and waste people's time, making eBay far less efficient. No doubt eBay loves the fact that it has a gazillion listings, but its lack of efficiency — as well as its lack of concern for customers who have to wade through such nonsense every time they search for something — could one day prove its undoing. In place of eBay, I'd like to see a variety of smaller sites roughly based on the eBay model, but focused on specific markets, like baseball cards, for instance.
