Hello Everyone

[invert55]

I just moved here from FeeBay today. I have to say this is a whole lot smoother, easier and with less fees. eBay don't seen to care who they crap on. A few questions.

How would I change the password that was assigned to me when I registered.

And I remember seeing something a few minutes ago after I listed my first item that items will be removed if another item has the same name. I have 5 to sell, so I have to name them all different and with a different title than any other auction with the same item?

I saw many different payment options. Google checkout, amazon checkout etc. I'm only accepting paypal atm, is that hurting me any?

Thanks, anyone with any tips for the new guy is welcomed.

Hi and welcome to eBid.

Go to My eBid (tab above ^) and then select My Personal Details on the right of screen. The first part of that will enable a password change.

Not different to any other auction. Different to any other of your auctions. If you have multiples of the same item to sell then you either sell them as a multiple item listing or sell them one at a time. This prevents search results being flooded by one seller selling 1000 widgets as in individual listings to the detriment of smaller sellers. If there is a difference say in size, colour, etc. Then you can list them with a variation in the title to indicate the difference (e.g. widget blue, widget red, etc).

It's not hurting you. Simply that the more choice you offer buyers the more likely you are to make a sale. Google checkout is gaining favour rapidly here (it must be good as a certain other site bans its use). PPPay offers a useful escrow service which can give buyers confidence if you regularly sell high value items.

That makes alot of since, dont want alot of spam listings clutter up the search page. Can I name the auctions something else. Say, I got a new pair of jordans. I name one "New Jordans - Grey" and another one "Air Jordans - NIB - Grey" and another "New Jordans." I order in lots of 5, 10, 15 or 20. Would take some time selling one by one. Could I list only a handful at a time and name them all different and use different pictures.

If you have five the same, why not list a dutch auction with 5 items?

[TiasTreasures]

If you have five identical pairs, they should be listed once only, and type "5" in the quantity box. This works both in Dutch auctions and in fixed price store listings. If they are different sizes, then list them separately with the size in the title. If your intent is to just "make up" a difference in the title for identical items, then you'll be doing exactly what none of us wants . . . as you call it, "spam listings".
