Fall Update - Ruh-Roh?

Just noticed on the Fall Update FAQ, the following. Read the words carefully. Do I see the proverbial poop hitting the fan over this one? If I have tracking that proves an item was delivered even though there's an "item not received" claim, will you ...

Hmmm GTC renewal glitch, items ending....

Today I've had the 2nd GTC item "end". When I look at the item it shows as 30 days instead of GTC. There is no message saying anything was wrong with the item. The 30 days is up so presumably that is the reason. I never have 30 day items, everything ...

Sigh, even the MIA picture compensation is of little to no value....

I got my MIA pictures email today. I have an anchor store on .COM, so that's $299.99 US$ plus HST each month. This means I get 20,000 GTC listings and 2,000 Auctions if I list the max on each site. I am running just over 3,800 listings (if you go loo...

Program now available to help find which GTC listings of yours are missing photos

Ebay system for dealing with listings is terribly crude, never meant for hundreds of products

My most actively-used pieces of information when selling are:-Sold, Active listings, Unsold, (left-hand side), "selling reminders" (middle page) and "messages." What is missing from this is a one-click SEARCH mechanism. People aren't all gifted with ...

Why eBay doesn't include tracking numbers for the sold items on ca? There are tracking numbers for the sold items on com but not ca. What is wrong with eBay for not including tracking numbers?? Anyone knew why eBay is doing this insane thing on ca??

Why does Ebay always try to fix something that isn't broke? ie: Page Layouts!

Once again Ebay is changing page layouts that don't need changing. The new layouts are terrible. They are hard to maneuver around and functionality has been removed. These new pages must have cost Ebay a lot of money for zero improvements. In fact, I...
