F###### ebay

[darkdezigns]

I took advantage of the free listings week-end just gone and listed both of our cars. As it was 23:50 sunday evening I had to get them onto Ebay PDQ.
So I filled in all the details plus photos of the Celica, but had only enough time for one photo and a couple of sentences for the Corolla. No problem I thought, I'll just click on 'Revise your item' and fill in all the releant info, only it won't let me change or ad anything.
Are Ebay being shitty 'cos I got two free listings out of them or is it their rules??????????







Item numbers if anyones interested.

Yes, I did click right hand drive but it keeps going back to left hand drive.
Yes.
Yes, we're after another Surf.
Tried all that, nothing works.

One step ahead of you pal.
Any emails that I get re: the car I mention the problems with the listing.
It's cost me nothing to advertise it and we're in no rush to sell it anyway so any problems with sellers turning up on my doorstep, I don't mind telling them where to go!

[BUSHWHACKER]

don't think you can revise the item if there's already bids on it.

I have added photos and extra info to car ads before with no problems.

I thought you couldn't revise an item once bidding has started. You should be able to add extra information though.

Bushy! their probably being arsey mate, it's fine all the time your shoveing money at em but if they think your getting away with owt they start getting awkward, and their completly soddin useless if a dispute arrises, anyway i thought that free listing was for items under 99p,
Albannach! at the risk of being noninated for thicko of the month, no i did'nt check, i did'nt realise they took a percentage of the final selling price as well as the initial listing fee, not sold much on there and what i have has been low price so i really did'nt notice it. of course when i told my son (who has sold a fair bit) he said oh yes! i thought you knew, thanks very sodding much,

anyway the glasgow bloke's emailed me to say he's had a word with his transport manager and it'll be either the 7th or 14th of nov before he can pick it up (and pay for it), just my f##kin luck, two sets of 33's on ebay and bugger all money till next month, tyres are the only reason i sold the boat in the first place,

Cheeky monkey

ps! i got other stuff for erm!!! "up for grabs" on there

[stormforce]

i keep getting my items removed because of breach of ebay rules.
How the hell can i keep getting my parts removed when i don't even put my email and tel.no like most of them are.
I know someone has it in for me as i sell my stuff cheaper than most on ebay and they don't like it as far as i'm concerned.
I got a bloomin good idea on who this other seller is aswell.For the last 3 or 4 months everytime i have multiple listings half of them are taken off but ebay won't give me a valid or good enough reason why they are removed

Richard, in your listings, you aren't saying you have other parts for sale are you?

eBay reckon thats a valid reason to remove items as you aren't giving them their pound of flesh to advertise them.

[stormforce]

I only state that i have other items for sale on ebay which is allowed.
Your not allowed to state you've got other parts for sale that are not on ebay.
Your not allowed to put a contact number or email address either which a lot of sellers do as its a way of selling items not listed on ebay
I have emailed ebay and asked what way to advertise parts and they state to read other ads which are all doing the above which ain't allowed so what the hell you meant to do

Rich, the w*nkers who work on the 'seller support' desks are one of a few reasons Vicki packed in her business on there!

As an example, she sold a style of shoe called a 'Mary Jane' on there. eBay kept removing them and didn't say why. She eventually got through to some eastern-european woman on the 'help'desk by phone and asked why.

"You aren't allowed to use celebrity names to sell products"

Vicki asked her who the hell 'Mary Jane' was, and the woman said she didn't know but it sounded a bit like a celebrity name! She told her that it was the name of the style so the woman said she'd pass it on so the ad wouldn't be removed. It was OK for a couple of weeks, then it started again - same reason! She was told it would be OK to say something like 'like Mary Jane's' or 'as worn by celebs'

She gave up trying. They're thicker than a very very thick thing Rich. Hope you dont hurt your head too much banging it against the eBay wall!

[stormforce]

it is a nightmare to get a sensible answer out of them.
I asked them why are other ads just the same as mine and all i get is well they ain't been reported as breach of rules.When you look through the parts for sale ads there's only a few regular sellers there and it's one of them that i'm certain keep reporting my ads.
I just relist them and get on with it and make sure i got no contact details in my ads.
I had 2 sets of alloys removed this week for breach of rules and i can't for the life of me think what is wrong with the ad.
I don't care anyway aslong as i sell what i need to then let the scumbags report me as much as they like

[POPEYE]

You certainly aint the only one Rich, i deal with some guys that sell copys of old films if which the copy right is in public domain and they are constantly getting their stuff removed and they know this is down to other sellers complaints, no legitimate reasons given, one has given up advertiseing on there and i still deal with him outside ebay,
