Ebay politics

[Dennis]

so I got an email tonight about my auction on ebay..saying I wasnt allowed to post a link to Arboristsite....but yet I am not allowed to edit it, to take out the link....

I said pardon??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2049404799&rd=1

What is harmful??? A free helpful website???

Ebay makes killer money on all this crap. They suck.

 

[Dennis]

when i went in to revise, they said I could only add...not delete..to the description...so I added....lets see if they authorize that....
GRRRR...

E-bay discrimanation

Hello dennis,
this is just blatant discrim1nation. It's just not right . You live in western canada and you cant post arborist site's address but little leroy lambert lives in eastern canada and he CAN POST! this just isn't fair
ken

 

[Dennis]

Upset with Leroy

I am a little upset with one Mr Lambert....not ony does he get me kicked off of TSF cause i am Canadian..now he is tryig to do it with ebay too...he is prolly Spike...

ebays like any other tool ,mower chainsaw etc. they usually crap until the owner learns the tool.
now in the case of ebay. i think it might be a junky tool for a long time.for me.
theys so many ins an outs there,
i believe i could get my medical degree
about as easy.not puttin on airs,im 55
so a little late for that.
really cant see why they wouldnt want this site mentioned,tho. but like i say ,i dont know the tool.

DAMMIT Dennis
You had to go and put the auction I'm winning on here
Now I am screwed

 

[Toneman]

Thanks for the heads up on this Dennis.
I have been looking for one of these for a while now, and was able to bid on it

Huskyman,

If Dennis has hopped that saw up,it should be worth a lot!!!

Better ask if he did a dyno run, heck it might be up a few million %. Maybe he even put his KD 272 jug in it!!!

In fact, if I had a spare 13.04, I might just enter the savage bidding.. Watch out fellas, I'm a sniper.......

 

[HUSKYMAN]

I still want the saw, but there is no way it can hang with this one

Been selling on Ebay for 4 years.
Probably haven't seen it all but seen a few things.
If you want to put the arborist site just say something like ... Come to world wide web arboristsite for more information. People should be able to figuire it out.
____________________________________________________
Ebay has a search engine looking for the www.XXX.com writing so you don't use your bid as a method to get "clients" or "web users" from the eBay site to your site. They want to keep the users on ebay and not have a advertisements fopr other websites.
____________________________________________________
If some bidder has targeted you because they don't "like the wording" or they find it offensive good luck. I had a couple of competitors telling ebay I was using patented and copyrighted material without permission sot hey terminated the listing.
____________________________________________________

Ebay does make the bucks. Little if any liability and they make up to 10% on a deal. Couple years back when it was in the 100's several flatbed trucks used to come to thier headquaters loaded with exotic cars and given out as bonuses.
____________________________________________________

Now they bought Paypal so I am thinking of getting my own credit card service or use C2it

Make your user name the web address

You know www.arboristsite.com is unregistered on eBay.


Either the User ID " www.arboristsite.com " is not a registered eBay user, or the Password is incorrect. Please go back and try again. Make sure you are not using any uppercase characters or allowing blank space before, after or inside the User ID or Password.

 

[Dennis]

well...they still havent authorized my "addition" to my ad...oh well...but yet they still didnt edit that line out of there...

Paypal....there is a scam if I ever saw one...they must make huge dollars...

Huskyman..sorry dude..lol...my bad...

 

[don]

Make a copy of your bidders with email address

They may delist your auction on the next server "delist batch run"
You know "You've been targeted for termination"
I will go to the bid list and get the list of bidders with email addresses in case they remove your auction.
____________________________________________________
So when you relist you can email the old bidders and tell them about the new auction.

 

[Dennis]

Thanks Don...I am still new to ebay...so I dont know these little tricks....how often do they delete these type of things??

 

[don]

based on what you said here

eBay will not edit your auction.
____________________________________________________Sometime, usually at night, eBay will terminate all the auctions they consider in "violation of eBay policies"
____________________________________________________
If this happens you will not get to "view" or "edit" the auction
It will be erased and gone forever.
____________________________________________________
eBay's computer assigns a auction violation to a human, then this "person" details the violation. The reason your auction will be removed IMHO (in my humble opinion) is www.arboristsite.com site has a retail outlet.
____________________________________________________The way ebay may look at it is your statement to join us here is to direct ebay users to buy directly from us eliminating ebay from the fold.
____________________________________________________
You intent maybe be for the ebay user to join us in a "discussion forum" to talk but ebay looks at it in loss revenues by sending ebay users to a retail website

 

[HUSKYMAN]

All you have to do is edit your description and take that part out.

I have been outbid so you can go ahead do what you want to it now

 

[Dennis]

Huskyman...there have been bids on it so they wont let me take anything out of the description...if they pull it...I will put it out again...making sure to screw them somehow...lol...
