The Christian Science Monitor, in it’s latest edition, has an interesting article titled Why We Do What We Do On eBay. The article, based in part, on a study done by University of California Berkeley economists, talks about some of the bidding idiosyncrasies shown by bidders on eBay.

While it’s interesting reading, and may be food for thought about ways you might change how and when you list your auctions, they aren’t really pointing out anything earth shattering. Most of the strange behavior of today’s eBay bidders has been on display by bidders at regular auctions for long before eBay came on the scene.
