Weeelll...not quite. To many sellers any lost revenue is a matter of concern. I think that simply pointing out that an incalculable amount of income is being lost because of this completely avoidable phenomenon would be sufficient to persuade a number of sellers to start their auctions on the upload as Bartelby does. There's another reason: if you start them all at a time of your choosing, at 20 cents a pop no less, then all of your auctions will end at the same time so that even group bidders won't be able to keep up.
