Additions to FAQ Pages

[Sunnybalu]

Would it be possible to help us newbies out by adding a glossary somewhere in the FAQs, please?

I've finally twigged what AAL means, but have seen some other acronyms about on eBid that have me foxed (particularly YDC) - somewhere to be able to go and look them all up would be really useful.

While not putting down your suggestion as I agree it would be useful to users...

There is a list started by a fellow user at: http://helpdesk.ebid.net/showpost.ph...02&postcount=1

It may answer some of your queries pending the arrival (or not) of an 'official' list.

Many thanks, Astral, I hadn't found that post yet.

Those acronyms are already familiar though, specially to users coming in from the dark side - what I was really looking for was the eBid-specific ones that are new to me and no doubt most other new users here as well.

That list did at least clear up what YDC means (but I'm still none the wiser, lol!!)

Edit after reading the whole thread: Maybe it didn't clear up the YDC query after all!

From what I understand, YDC is an auction for charity Sunnybalu, maybe someone could clarify this for us please?

From Wikipedia:

The history of YDC

The YDC charity auctions were started back in 2003 by YorkiesAuctions (He also started the monthly charity auctions on ebay uk several years before too). The original name of the monthly charity auctions was Yorkies Daft Competition the reason being that forum members competed against each other to raise the largest amount for charity each month and Yorkie came up with the idea and ran the competition. When Yorkie had to stop running the YDC in late 2006 due to family and work commitments the name of the auctions were changed to Your Donation Counts. The YDC is currently run by Shezz.
The YDC is open to all Ebid members and is a fun way to raise money for charity. YDC announcements can be found on eBID's Kitchen Table forum, and forum members are always happy to help new members wishing to take part in YDC. Each month the winner of YDC gets to nominate the following YDC's featured charity. Members may support the featured charity or support a charity of their own choice.

I now have the logo i want to use. But i have lost 2 stores. Please can you tell me how to get back to my original 5 stores please.

If you go to My eBid > My eBid Stores you should be able to delete any spurious stores you have created.

'Going to'? If you are not yet Seller+ then (since the quiet fix) you cannot create a store.

Also i have purchased lots of ebay templates and they are html will i be able to use them for ebid.

Possibly. Nothing is certain as it depends on the layout and syntax. Try them by creating a listing and pasting the template code into the Plain HTML box (not into one of the WYSIWYG editors). You don't have to actually place the listing as you get chance to preview what it will look like.

If you do paste in HTML code be wary of switching between the different editors. The WYSIWYG editors can screw up some HTML code as they appear to use only a subset of the language and delete anything they don't understand.

That would explain why my hard work went to waste then!
