Merchants can move dud goods by auction, but make sure you don`t damage your brand Description: A Mainspring eStrategy Direct consulting study on dynamic pricing suggests that ascending auctions, like eBay, account for more than 80% of dynamically priced purchases.

That is a sizeable chunk for a business on thin margins. A lot of problems come from the fact that many merchants dont have a system to track or identify fraud, says Meredith Hickman, Celent analyst. As more merchants start using anti-fraud systems the fraud rate should slow down.
