What I don't like about eBid...

[Pink_Panther]

He's making a suggestion for a change to the site that he believes would be an improvement. Since that's exactly what this forum is for, that seems pretty reasonable to me.

That's ok an I said so.

The nitty gritty techie stuff though would be better discussed with Gazza.





Or am I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo not computer savvey?

Nah, it's just you. Sorry. This is no different to any other suggestion post, just because you don't happen to get it doesn't mean it belongs elsewhere. Trust me. *tries to look reliable*

I always pull my listings in from my front page and have never run out of space

I note you never did anything about cleaning up the HTML that was a major factor in causing your listings to hit the character count limit.

Yes I did. I always remove formatting when I paste from Word or whatever and then format it within the editor if needed. So it's not about cleaning up HTML, it's about limited HTML characters.
Since I contacted ebid support, they absolutely did nothing about this not even correcting the help page that says the limit is 500000!!

OK, I'm clearly 'wasting my breath' now as I did back then.

What about using a text editor ?
Would that use less characters.

And do you expect ebid to double their storage limits and spend ages working on just one aspect when no one else has asked for this.

There are many more things ebid could do that would help us all sell more.

(I am not trying to be be nasty, I just would like you to accept that you are new to ebid and to go with the flow for a while)

Wow, I must admit I've just looked at the code for your page for the first time, and I see what Astral's getting at. Are you *sure* you're doing all the formatting via the ebid editor? Because it does seem extraordinary that you have this:

<li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 30px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-size: 16px; "><span style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">

for each list item, when all that's required is "<li>" - no wonder you're hitting limits that nobody else is finding. I'm sure you can see, without any need of html expertise, that something's wrong there. If the editor's producing that on a single pass, something is wrong with the editor and maybe *that*'s what ebid should be looking.
