Please get rid of.. Run Until Sold

[FBNeNotes]

Please get rid of.. Run Until Sold.. it is and looks so un-professional when you see it in an offering.
It just does NOT belong there for public viewing.
Also goes for... the Flashing red R
Ouch on both of those.
You have to tighten up the ship here... make it look like a real place for business, and not just a place for business.
This is the very best auction/store site on the www... just make it a little better.
Thanks

Sorry, don't agree with getting rid of RunTilSold, eBid offers a choice in auction types, why reduce choice?
If you don't like RunTilSold don't use it.

It was debated not too long ago, & the majority of users like
choice.

I'm thinking maybe the person meant to make the phrase "Run Until Sold" not viewable on the listing so that buyers don't know that the item is there "forever". Don't think they meant to do away with the option, just make the phrase invisible to the buyers.

Then again, maybe I'm seeing it wrong.

Agree totally with Goth (!)

The 'Run Until Sold' facility is a vital component in e-Bid's overall armoury.

Please leave well alone.

I'm with you, the "for public viewing" is the key phrase. Some generic term like "shop inventory" (yes, I know ) would do the job without sound like you can't shift it!

But the flashing R is another matter altogether. It is BAD, BAD, BAD! It is especially bad for those with epilepsy or migraines. I have neither and I hate it but it can be serious for them. It is the programming style of an amateur and we know that ebid is not an amateur site.

WindsorBear... said it correctly.
Seeing the words, Run Until Sold
It looks like.. seller came here just to park their items.

I rather ignored that bit because I can't quite believe that battle's not won. I have no idea why they persist in showing the bally thing - hatred of the flashing R has to be the most consistently aired view on the whole site.

I have this vision of a programmer with gritted teeth saying "It took me ages to code that so you will have it!!!"

Yes, I think that's a good point. Mind you, I never use the format myself.
