    Default Unnecessary Mind-Numbing Hours?

    .

    I have now spent all morning (and part of last night) individually editing the unnecessary words "Added by the Seller......" placed by eBid on all my listings without bids!!!!!!!

    Please Guys have a heart & take this off. Pretty Please?

    I don't think I am even a third of the way through my listings yet ~ it is totally mind-numbing having to do it.

    P u r l e e s e ..... or else explain that it has a valid purpose please....


    Right, I'm going back to my jacket potato with cheese on it to fortify me for the possible many mind-numbing hours ahead...

    I spent a LONG time doing this also.....not sure I am done. I wonder if a Bulk Edit (and replace with....."Thanks again for shopping with me" or something might work??)

    Would this thread be better in Website Suggestions?
    Ta-Ta for now!

    Bulk edit find & replace would be almost worthless as they are timestamped - each one is different!

    And on some of mine the wording is duplicated!!! It looks absolutely terrible.

    My next sub cat has 78 items in it ~ and it won't even get me half way.....

    Oh Guys, p l e e s e, do something about it .....

    please dont get rid of it!!!

    its a must, the reason it is there is to stop sellers adding or editing descriptions after bids are placed, if they didnt have it I could describe somethings as in perfect condition and does this and that, waiting for a bid then adding - signs of wear or may be broken.

    its on all proper selling sites, and glad its there. i

    No-one is talking about AFTER bids are placed on listings - under discussion is listings with this wording on that have NO bids.

    Best wishes for many sales to all,
