I wonder if Ebid will get another web designer to look at the code on the site, and tell them where it's wrong (that might take a few days...). I am just amazed that after the terrible code of the...

I've only had a two minute look so far at the HTML and CSS for the new look site, and I was wondering why there is a strange white gap at the top of the page, before the actual site starts.

Grey text is a bugbear of mine, I'm sick of seeing hard to read, grey text everywhere, not to mention grey backgrounds, grey borders, bloody grey!

The new look of the site is very good indeed, I...

I don't think this is true. If you're reading a page once it's loaded, it takes no bandwidth from the server. We have seen times when the server was slow, but that was months and months ago, and it's...

JudesNiceThings, I feel like you do - I've used Turbo Lister on Greedbay and I don't see any advantage to it. I've never started creating an auction and wanted to turn off my computer halfway through...

Can anybody explain to me what the advantage is of using a listing program, rather than entering listings online?

I've used Turbo Lister on Greedbay and I still have to enter all of the same data...

Can the grey text all over this site be turned to black, or some very dark colour? I presonally HATE it when I see grey text on a grey background, it's very hard to read, why make it more difficult...

Thanks for your help Baghag, I understand what's happening now. I began a test payment and it then showed clearly that if I wanted to send £1.00, I would be charged £1.49 because of the £0.49 fee....

I've been looking at a few old transactions I made, where I sold items and was paid with PPPay.com.

An example is:
Item sold for £5.99 + £1.00 P&P = £6.99 Total

My Ebid statement says:

I can't understand why Ebid charges new members to be able to list for free - how much can it cost to run the server(s) for Ebid, per month? £150?£250?
If we want to get everybody from Ebay over...

Offer PPPay.com Escrow, make it clear in your auction that you accept it, and pay the escrow fees. Then buyers will have no reason to distrust you.

I don't know if many people use the 'Notice from Seller' option, but it used to be highlighted at the top of the auction, IIRC, with a light coloured background. Now it's just plain black text and...

We could get rid of most scammers by making new sellers who want to sell items over a certain value, pay £1.00 to have a letter sent with a PIN, to their registered home address, which they'd have to...

I'd like to design five or so standard auction templates which Ebid can then offer on the selling page, so that those who don't know much HTML and CSS (and who don't have the time) can just enter...

I hadn't noticed that before, it seems the code is running on that too, so all our store names have no capital letters at the start. It's bad enough with book publishers and TV programmes not knowing...

I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear in my original post, I meant the Store descriptions in the 'Featured Stores' that appear on the right hand side of the home page, and some other pages. These all...

I've just reopened my store after a while away, and I see that the strange problem of all capital letters being turned into lower case is still there. Can this not be fixed? Why there is a piece of...

Also, see attached image, this CSS style needs left hand padding:

.blacklarger {color:#000000; font-size:16px; font-family:arial,helvetica;}

and the entire CSS needs redoing, as there is a huge...

Lofty, you won't have to redo your auctions if the allowable auction width increases, it's rather like not having to breathe in if you put on a pair of trousers much too big for you. The only problem...

If you use CSS in your listings, you'll be able to change the size and colour of the fonts even after you've uploaded all the listings, by simply editing one file, the CSS file.
(Do a Google search...

Mark and Gazza, could you make the dotted lines that separate Ebid Stores and Frontpage Auction items, a bit darker? It's greysmall_u
in the CSS. At the moment it's practically invisible, and I...

I think it looks fantastic! Lovely design, very nice use of colour, round corners, very attractive and welcoming!

Honestly, I can't believe some people are moaning about it - have you any idea how...

I'm sure that's a great consolation for them as they're being slaughtered...

Honestly! If you had more consideration, you'd go vegan. Actions speak louder than words.

I agree with you entirely, until what you do affects others. Don't you think eating meat affects animals? Do you think they would rather live or die? It's as simple as that. Haven't you ever imagined...

You've got me hungry now...

Can you tell me what they are, because I seem to have managed very well without them for several decades!



Very true. There are loads and loads of vegetarian alternatives to meat, which are...

One minute to go...

I forgot to mention that meat eating animals are always extremely rare compared to their prey - if you look at the plains of Africa, there are probably a thousand wilderbeest for every lion there....

I don't believe we really are omnivores. 99.9% of human beings cannot chase and catch a wild pig, sheep, rabbit, etc.etc. How exactly would you grab a hold of your 'prey' - with your hands, or your...
