You should go and read the board usage policy and make sure that you did not post something you should not have.

eBaY is aggressively monitoring the posts here since the latest fiasco with the new changes they announced.

They do not like it when we complain and show just how unjust they are with their BS policies that one BUYER BIASED.

Here is the link - http://pages.ebay.ca/help/policies/everyone-boards.html

I read and reread my post before I hit submit, I always do, but there was not anything bad.

I was asking if I had to ship worldwide (I do), but I was just asking, is that a wrong question to ask?

eBay isn't monitoring this board any more than they ever have. There is someone around here with an itchy finger and too much time on their hands. I think he/she may be Russian. LOL

[uniquestarlight]

Wow, I did reply to someone, but it is gone too?

I have my question above then I responded to someone and that #2 of 3 is gone?????????

[uniquestarlight]

What do you mean itchy finger please?

[uniquestarlight]

Oh I see the person who I replied to I must have not refreshed the page sorry. LOL

[whoscloset]

See that little "Report" link beside your id on each post? In the past few days someone has been punching it regularly. Hopefully they will be gone soon and we can get back to discussing stuff in peace.

By the way....Welcome!

[uniquestarlight]

Wow that is not very nice why would anyone do something like that? This sounds a little strange even for me!

PS I think l'll go back to eBay cafe, it is a little less dramatic there, have you ever went theres whoscloset?

Cathy

[whoscloset]

No, I've never been there. Is it on .com or .ca?

[uniquestarlight]

Here's the link to the Cafe.http://chatboards.ebay.com/chat.jsp?forum=1&thread=1

It is much like this, but you can talk to people both buyer/seller. I usually just read to pass some time, some days it can be funny, or bad. LOL Try it, I know you'll like it

Nice to meet you,
Cathy

Well, Ebay hired a Russian, too - to monitor the board 😉

so regardless of whether or not someone hits the report button, if its just a question (how bad can a question be), then why remove it??

Exactly, my question was simple about shipping worldwide and then it was gone I do not understand how that could bad?

Cathy

[whoscloset]

eBay isn't even the entity that controls these boards. They have Live World take care of that for them. Some bored clerk gets the report and pulls the thread/post. Half the time they probably don't even read what was reported.

[katiusciav]

well don't worry about it...try posting it again or post your question within this thread and one of us will be happy to answer if we can....there's obviously something wrong somewhere where a thread gets pulled for no reason-i really hope they're not yanking before investigating first like they do with listings - not too bright eh 'board monitors' - pull that!

My question was a simple one; I asked if I had to ship worldwide (I do), but I was just asking fotr future if I would like to sell to Canada.

Would that be concidered bad? I am so confused it was my very first post and it gets removed!

Cathy,

I only ship within North America. Due to the size and weight of my items it makes no sense to offer them worldwide...the shipping charges are just too high.

You can chose which countries you want to ship to through your account preferences. You don't have to ship to other countries.

The only frustrating thing I find is that if you choose to ship to the U.S. you can not choose NOT to ship to certain States such as Hawaii and Alaska. In addition, unless you are listing on the U.S. site you can't add additional shipping charges to be billed automatically for those states.

[katiusciav]

hi unique...from what i understand from your question is that do you HAVE to ship worldwide, or can you just ship to canada? you can ship worldwide, or just canada or just the states or a multiple of countries that you select while listing your item under 'shipping'...you'll see it in the pull down tab bars...hope that answers your question?
