Most listings that come to mind are reasonably clear and for someone like myself who searches daily, they allow me to peruse quickly for what I am seeking. Naturally we all have pet peeves such as the lobby cards, Mexican cards, those unusually long listing from panzeterex (that I avoid like the plaque) etc. that are listed in the "originals" categories. I have always found those sellers who use the term "WOW" in their description to catch your eye for what is normally a mediocre offering. My question to sellers is-----------------Do you believe this is effective or actually a term actually saying "This listing is not worthwhile but I hope this catches your eye to look at it"? What is your pet peeve about ebay listings? CJL In a message dated 1/9/2009 2:54:58 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Regarding item#4. You clearly can always find the time to be nasty. -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of CK MacLeod Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 11:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Ebay changes its listing categories What are you talking about? 1. It all is the same as ever as of a few minutes ago. 2. If they do change, all of your listings may be collapsed into one larger category without your having to change anything. 3. If they do change, you can easily and straightforwardly mass edit item categories in TurboLister, if that's your preference (as I believe I've noted here before, FileExchange is much faster and easier for simple revisions - category listings would be a snap). Depending on your computer, you may want to break 3000 listings into groups of a few hundred or so - but import/export shouldn't be necessary. Even if you decide to participate in the eBay "item specifics," you can multiple item edit those, too. 4. Maybe you really don't have anything better to do with your time. -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Franc Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 08:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Ebay changes its listing categories For all the dealers on the board I'm posting this alert that Ebay apparently has changed some of its category listings. Formerly lobby card listings needed to be broken out by decades. Now all lobby cards are going to be posted under one category which to me makes no sense since posters will continue to be broken out by decades. While this sounds like no big deal, for those of you who keep a dbase in Ebay's Turbo lister, it is a big deal because it will mean having to change all the listings that are stored. I have 3000+ listings stored. I will have to export them to a spread changes and make the change externally and then reimport them to Turbo as if I have nothing better to do with my time. Do any of these jokers at Ebay ever consider any of the ramifications of their constant cosmetic changes?
