Welcome to the NEW 2004 Introduce Yourself thread! The other thread was getting SO long, so let's start a new one for a new year! There are lots of board regulars here, but also lots of newbies and lurkers (like me). I thought it'd be fun to introduce ourselves and get to know each other a little better! My name is Errin. I'm a stay-at-home, homeschooling, eBay mom. I also do the bookwork for my DH's business. I live in a tiny town in Northeast Iowa called Castalia. I've been married... (More)

If you were a regular user of the"feature first" listing tool which ebay removed a few weeks back then please let ebay know how you feel. Feature first is now only available to "Top Sellers" who qualify for it. Having used this tool successfully for years and to have it SUDDENLY removed has affected my sales quite drastically and I would like ebay to put it back ASAP. I FOR ONE, DO NOT MIND THE EXTRA COST OF THIS listing TOOL AS THE SALES RESULTS I OBTAINED WERE BETTER. (More)

Hi seasoned ebayers Can someone please post what cyber Monday is ? I'll check it out in the morning in case no one is up and about right now TIA lvis-1 (More)

This is a thread topic designed to help inspire creative dialogue on how the Sellers and Buyers in the EBay community manage to survive bleak Economic times, and political uncertainty that we all face. We are in a deep hole, and we certainly don't want to dig deeper, so all idea's for the survival of the fittest will be welcomed. I am going to start by offering one idea that I have, and hopefully others will follow. (More)

First time posting in discussion board so please forgive if I placed this in the wrong section. I was researching an item up for bid when I stumbled upon a website with information that looked suspiciously familiar. The seller of the item has used the exact wording (not quoted) as on the website and has used the exact same picture as shown on the website (without credit). I'm not convinced that either the seller or the website has anything in common as they are on opposite sides of the... (More)

Hi, I created a bunch of listings last week that qualified for the 1/2 price listing fee promotion but I schedule them to start after the sale ended. When I go into to tweak some of them, it no longer shows the sale price. I'm assuming I don't get the sale price on any of them. I guess I'm wondering why does it clearly state the sale price to be charged, I click submit, and they end up charging more. I'm probably missing something, but that just doesn't seem right. Shouldn't the "system" be... (More)

I don't sell a lot on Ebay -- just now and then. Right now I have a camera lens listed that I no longer use. The list states very clearly that I only ship to US residents. I have received two inquiries about shipping to Hong Kong or Australia. I said no. I notice in the bid list that two people from China and Korea have placed bids. Neither one of these is the top bidder at the present time. In reading through the forums, I saw that I can block bidders from outside the US. How can... (More)

Hi everyone. Hopefully you’ve been following along with our tests of a longer-lasting Buy It Now. As a quick review, here’s what we’re doing: Over the years, we’ve routinely been asked why the Buy It Now option disappears from a listing when the first bid is placed. Our reason has been concern that it would create a confusing experience for a buyer, who could place a bid on an item, but then have someone Buy It Now (BIN) out from under them before the end of the auction. That said,... (More)

Post anything you want here. Katy suggested we start a new thread to replace the million thread because it is too big to load. Please keep it light and good humored. Ok friends lets begin! (More)
