Billing and invoice

[kaiman3]

Thanks for the info.
I have more than one of most items. I list only 1 quanity because I believe if buyers think I only have one then they are more inclined to purchase sooner than later.

Plus I am slowy trying to wean myself from the other site. I am not making any money with all the fees including paypal fees.

you will still be stuck with the p/pal fees (it is the most popular way of paying) but it wont seem quite so bad without the darkside's fees as well

I wish you luck with your sales

[kaiman3]

Yes thanks. I think I can live with those PP fees.

I found that it best to use the featured item but then do a 3 to 7 day auction to start with the first bid, don't have to worry about it sitting on the bottom and not being seen that way. That way you don't get the recurring charges as the auction runs down and it stays near the top. Out of my 118 listings I have about 6 as featured and one that is front page but also with a start with first bid option.

I agree, its a balancing act to make right choice. If category is crowded, feature shows some items off wonderfully. But cost adds up fast.

I do find it a bit naff that when you list an auction, it is listed automatically as a featured item unless you click the box before submitting it

Newbies dont realise this and are flummoxed as to why they are landed with a bill

This reflects on ebid, many will go off an complain to others about the costs on here

Auto Repost is just that. The reposting of a listings as is. No different to a seller doing it themselves without changing any of the details/options.

Should eBid determine what they think the seller meant to do? How far do they take it? Should the reduce the price? Should they change it to free shipping?

The seller is responsible for their own listings and if they make an error then the consequence is theirs. The OP appears to have accepted that with good grace - just as I would do (and have done in the past).

It's not on mine. I've just double-checked and when I load an empty selling form the radio button is set to "gallery". That's before I populate with any defaults. Is this something that's held from last time one sold? Or is the default different for sellers and sellers plus?

That was changed ages ago Shezz, unless of course the member has set it in their defaults.
