Who pays for the extra pictures if i already have 5 pictures in the auction?

Sorry don't understand what you are asking.

The stock image is added to the prefilled data, nothing to do with the 5 images you put in your listing.


I think etsy is for handmade goods.

Is there a place to mark that it is handmade/custom so those items will be expempted?

Google has authorized an exemption on my website.

Thank you.

Good luck and may the Force be with you.

Not sure about a handmade tag, but maybe you could put it in the item title/description and Google would pick it up? Not sure, but this seems to make sense to me.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

Spyder, just make SURE that you remove all the hyphens if your C/C/P'ing them in! Another thing I found through trial-and-error is this...I copy my ISBN to Notepad, remove any hyphens, then drop it in on the list/re-list page at eBid. It works that way, but if you say accidentally drop in an ISBN with a hyphen in it it will constantly come up with the popup "ISBN number appears to be invalid"....so okay, I go back and delete the hyphen, try it again, and it STILL comes up with the popup!! Drove me nuts til I figured out a way around it...aaaaaaaaack!!!

Good thinking, Mary, thanks for sharing this. I have a feeling I'll be needing this advice before long, as well as several stiff drinks...

I have been messing around with the new Google product search/ shopping I put in everything that was required and there was 770 stores that was selling the same game that I was. the search didn't bring up my description my picture or the specs/Requirements for the PC Game. it just said that it was used. Google supplied everything else Pic, description, and so on. basically you put in the required numbers or letter or ISBN and your golden. unless its a specialty item/one of a kind. so if you have the cheapest price you will be at the top of the listings.

This is my reply from the help desk, while it does not reasure me at this time it sounds like we will hear more by ther end of the week
...

Later this week we will be uploading features to allow you the entry of MPN's which will help if you cannot upload ISBN/UPC Codes.

So MPNs will be allowed That's really good. Thanks eBid staff.

What are MPNs?
Also I like my own photos and description too, but cant we do both? Have their stock pictures and info aswell as our own?
Im sure Ive got some of these already but didnt take too much notice of them at the time (the stock info and photos in certain auctions I mean) I hate things too robotic I really sympathise with Spyder and the others, a personal, unique description and photo that someone has taken time out to do impresses me far more as a buyer than the usual mechanical descriptions you get (especially in places like eeekbay) it puts me right off buying from those people to be honest.
