I have been considering tryinga Ebay homepage Featured auction. With a catagory featured auction I get around 600 hits and 2 or 3% buy the item. What would you expect the same auction to get on a homepage featured auction?

You will get the most page looks with homepage feature. But you have better make sure you have a sure fire seller with a high profit margin to cover the fees.
A couple of years ago, there was a glitch not many people knew about that allowed you to list for free in homepage feature, catagory feature and a few of the other lesser upgrades. I did take advantage of them to see what the results would be.
I found that homepage did in fact bring much more bids and page looks. Catagory Feature, only a slight increase in page looks and a trivial increase in sales. All the other upgrades had no effect or increase in sales than basic listings. And no, the glitch does not exsist anymore so don't ask.

Awesome. I love glitches and the people that exploit them. Wasn't the Boston Tea Party a type of glitch? Damn British.
