My apologies. The four lots of discounted postage I had listed have just sold! My store's first sales ��

If you shop around (I won't mention the obvious place!) you should be able to buy legal (genuinely Mint, unused) Royal Mail stamps at a discount of 20-40% quite easily. DO NOT BUY CLEANED,NO GUM OR...

Opened a new store offering GB & World Stamps often under their face value.

Harry Potter goodies too!

Thanks for looking.

Hi. Field Post Office postmarks are one of my collecting interests so I can explain the signature.

During WW2 all mail was censored, not least military mail. When writing home soldiers, sailors...

I guess a lot of people's listings wont be found in Google Shopping soon...

No. Just the ability to post links in relevant places. You can set up a blogger site, for example, add content and links. Start a relevant email newsletter including links (but you still need to...

Yes I've been promoting eBid for some time via the clixgalore scheme and earned a few hundred pounds along the way.

The Clixgalore scheme works fine and their payments have been reliable. The...

To return to the topic of dealing with dump and run sellers.

If last log in times on listings aren't desired then I suggested in a similar Kitchen Table thread earlier that the listings of a...

The independent counter probably filters out bots.

Oh no baconsdozen!

I guess we will now need a couple of pages more about the use of "s" on the end of "simple".

What was this thread originally about?

As has been said already "views" aren't all that accurate as many are in fact generated by the numerous bots crawling round the internet.... not least our good friend Googlebot! I've looked to see if...

IMO buyers will judge whether to buy an item mainly by the payment methods offered in the listing.

To use an extreme example (outlawed by most marketplaces): If a seller requests payment by...

I don't disagree at all with emails being better worded as you suggest but, according to Gothicinas recent posts, the strikethrough is happening AFTER email verification is complete. Apparently it is...

Thanks Madelaine and I'm looking forward to hearing what the outcome is.

Gothicina has confirmed the point at which these strikethroughs take place. It is after eBid support find a fault with someones registration info.

As someone who owns and runs scores of websites -...

My my! An honest buyer. Was starting to think they didn't exist but obviously one does. Still struck through are they?

Is anyone here really that bothered about making sales? Would it be better...

Yep. That's a good example of how thngs work (or don't work).

Obviously, if they don't have to pay anything to "purchase" an item, then a place like eBid can be a button pushers paradise. That's...

Thanks for that clarification Gothicina.

I was thiniking it was a combination of slow/lost and badly worded emails causing this but I now think it might be easier if eBid tells us why so many new...

I have yet to see anyone highlight a genuine problem with Paypal in this thread that is in any way solved by forcing buyers to register and verify themselves before paying. Read my previous post.
...

I'm fairly sure most people have agreed now that the strike throughs of new buyers shouldn't happen and a friendly redirection page prompting them to complete their email verification before they can...

So buyers getting strike throughs don't automatically have their outstanding bids cancelled?

Forgetting that the buyer may have a legitimate complaint, how does registering and verifying someone or even collecting a DNA sample stop this from happening?



You're lucky it wasn't a Visa...

As you've had the experience of being scammed can you please explain to me how a buyer can scam you if they hit a Paypal buy now button and pay you before you send an item? Thanks.

Personally I...

Just had to do a double-check that I was reading the right thread...

* sigh *

Come on guys, think twice about the "take my ball home" knee jerk reactions please?

All of us to a greater or lesser extent have an investment of time, reputation and cash in eBid and I've no...

All looks fine to me. I sometimes find certain web pages from various websites struggle to load in Chrome for reasons I can't fathom. Have you tried a different browser to see if things are the same?

Thanks but I think credit is largely due to Gothicina for taking the time to highlight all the various issues of any substance which actually brought the thread back on track and made it much easier...

Spot on! I completely agree.



All sounds fine. So why are so many buyers having their online ID struck through shortly after they buy and pay for something? Is this really happening or are they...

I agree. Obviously emotions run high when you have strong views but I think this is a very constructive thread for people to see and chip in to and could ultimately result in some improvements to...

Personally I think Bykimbo and 0ctavia are both right. Code that can overcome this issue would be very simple to produce but the ease of the solution also depends on it being decided to use a simple...
