    Re: Google Pay (G Pay)

    I have seen Stripe used quite a lot on small e-commerce websites, whether the fees are worth it would depend on your expected volume of sales and profit margins. I have no experience of the Square...

    Re: Social media

    If doing Social Media I would highly recommend not doing it from your normal personal account, I think if what you mostly post is stuff for sale then your friends would probably soon switch off...
  3. More old PC and Playstation 2 games being added to my Old Games store

    I have added a few old PC games and have a few more to add in my Old Games store: https://www.ebid.net/uk/stores/Old-Games. Re-live your misspent youth! Quite a few Windows XP titles, some Vista /...
  4. Re: ISBN gets changed when I submit my listing

    It's possible, but I don't see how that would help when the book has a 10-digit ISBN and probably never had a 13-digit one as it's long out of print.
  5. ISBN gets changed when I submit my listing

    In the ISBN box I have entered the 10-digit ISBN number from the book I am listing, however I notice when I view the listing it's been changed with additional digits. Is the box title...

    Re: What are you using at the moment?

    May I recommend that you try Mint Linux (Debian branch) on that old Lenovo laptop, I was surprised how well it runs on an old Acer of mine, and thus far it's been a lot better and more stable than...

  10. Google Shopping shows my item has Free Delivery but I only have Collect in Person.

    It seems misleading for Google Shopping to show Delivery as being available (and free to boot) but it's not what I have on the listing. Is there any way to prevent Google Shopping from displaying...
  11. Re: Contact someone who made rejected offers below minimum

    You could add something to your listings about the possibility of doing a deal on several items if bought together, and to contact you about it using the question and answer form.

    The top level Blog links to what looks like a template page.



    Again, there's a drop-down on Contact called 'B' that goes to a template page.

    Just curious if there's a Wordpress plugin that can display a list of auctions by user, store, keywords, etc, or if there's an API that I can make use of to develop my own Wordpress plugin. Surely...

    Re: Posting Photos

    Just to get back to the OP, the system that eBid use is different to that on the other site, in that on eBid you're taken away from the listing temporarily to the user's image gallery, I would liken...

    Not sure if there would be anything to say you couldn't open up a free Wordpress site to use as a sort of advert page for your listings here, you'd have to check Wordpress's policies on that. Just...
  18. Italics not presenting in live aution descriptions

    I have used the italic text style option (which uses the <em> html tag, as inserted by the default wysiwyg editor) but the text does not show as italicised in the live listings as it does in the...
