Sorry if this has been suggested before (too many postings to go through).

Please can Ebay set up a raffle ticket system for the prizes? Say, for example, £1.00 per ticket?

We could then choose to buy as many, (or as few), tickets as we wanted. Then, when the target amount have been sold - Ebay could select one winning ticket at random for that particular prize.

I suggest this because I would easily be out-bid for the higher costing prizes, (by someone with more money than me), and I am sure I am not the only person who feels this way.

However, if tickets were sold instead of highest bidder wins, we all have the chance to purchase as many tickets as we wanted, thereby giving ourselves the same chances of winning as everyone else.

Sorry if anyone disagrees with me, but this would then mean that those of us at the lower end of the income bracket would stand a better chance of getting a prize that we would not normally be able to afford.

Thank you for your attention.

Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to EVERYONE.
