Also look at your auctions as some of your pictures have been affected

Thanks Alistair - fixing what ain't broken comes to mind

Considering some sellers have over a thousand listings and eBid has no offline listing tool (worth mentioning) a policy like this should have at least 3 month's notice of implementation.

Right - first impressions after checking the first fe of my listings is that the policy has been implemented ineffectively .....

viewing this listing -

http://uk.three.ebid.tv/perl/auction...8-0&mo=auction

All of the images show (none of them are linked graphics - just graphics hosted on my own website) - the listing was uploaded prior to 17 April (date of OP)

but looking at this listing -
http://uk.three.ebid.tv/perl/auction...0-0&mo=auction
The exact same html has lost all of the graphics - including the postage by zone map image, and the accepted/non accepted currency images (for those buyers who cannot or will not read the payment methods). That listing was uploaded after 17 April

So - QUESTION FOR G&M
Does this mean now that all listings have to be uploaded, posted, then opened and edited, and re-saved, before we can regard each listing as having been uploaded correctly?

This, combined with the ppPay fiasco, may just have destroyed all the good work you've done in the last 4-5 months (expanding countries, new categories, eBid shops etc) ... because if the payment system is a nightmare to use (penny checks not being completed by buyers) and the listing tool is a nightmare to use (have to edit and resave after listing) and the site has a crippling level of joining fees (1st year cost compared to rate of sales) then you may just have killed your own baby.

In my mind G & M DESPERATELY need some new people to help take on all the responsibilities of the site. Time is showing that they are trying to do too much too soon, and as a result things are not being implemented coorectly, nor are they helping to keep the support of those die-hard eBid supporters to date.

Personally, I am choosing not to sell anymore on eBid until these bugs are fixed.

Perhaps they could take a leaf out of AOL's book, where they offer beta versions of software to selected members, who have actively chosen to accept beta software with all of the bugs that come with it.

Providing beta software as standard to everyone complete with bugs is unprofessional.
