Annoying eBay Error: If This Doesn’t Get Fixed Soon…

…I’ll feel like pulling my hair out. For the last several days, whenever I try to list something, I get the following pain-in-the-neck error message for no reason (click the image for a larger view):

eBay Error

Basically, when I click “Continue” to go to the “Submit your item” page, it tells me “You can not submit your listing due to the following problems: An error has occurred. Please enter a valid value.” It then wants me to go specify a return policy, which I had ALREADY DONE.

So it is very annoying because it LOSES my description that I spent time typing!! eBay is wasting my time!! Every listing, I end up having to go back and do my description twice. GET IT FIXED, EBAY! I’ve already tried deleting my cookies and everything else. The problem is obviously on eBay’s end, as usual.

New Auction Platform from AUCTIVA

“Elefy is a new search-driven marketplace dedicated to improving buying and selling on the web. We built Elefy to give independent sellers like you a better showcase for your items and to give buyers an easy way to find just what they want. Buyers will be able to find your items through services like Google search results as well as directly on Elefy.

Later this year, you’ll have the option to list items directly to Elefy from your Auctiva account and we are designing that new functionality to be as simple and straight-forward as possible.

You can take a peek at Elefy.com now but keep in mind that it will be changing quite a bit. The team is hard at work on key features such as multi-seller/multi-item checkout, item pages, seller profiles, item and order management and some design improvements too. We would love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have. Join the discussion.”

Something eBay Needs To Give Us…

…is the ability to add store categories from within the “Create your listing” page. As it is now, we are only able to choose from our existing categories, but not add new ones. This would make things a bit easier for eBay Store owners, and it should happen, especially since we’re now paying $49.95 per month instead of $15.95.

ABC’s LOST Television Show to auction off props for charity

At the end of this season (the final season), the props from the set of the hit tv show LOST will be auctioned for charity. I’m not sure where yet, but there will be some cool items for sale if you’re a fan of the show.

Dear eBay, Re: Picture Pack and Gallery Plus

Please quit making these default when I list my items on your site. It really pisses me off. I do NOT want your damn “Picture Pack” or “Gallery Plus” automatically going on my listings. I do not care if they are free features right now. I do not want them. They may be free now, but I’m sure you will start charging some ridiculous amount for them in the future, and I’ll have to revise all of my listings.

Did I already say I don’t want your “Picture Pack?” Quit making it default.

eBay User “PINKROSESLOVE” Is An Idiot…

and is also the same person that I posted about here, formerly known as “noexcusebuyer“. He/she/it has changed her username and “About Me” page, but it is still the same delusional moron, as you can see by checking the ID History.

Just might want to make sure you have it on your blocked bidder list.

USPS/Paypal Postage Labels (Paypal Multi-Order Shipping)

Why the hell does Paypal’s multi-order shipping not allow me to choose regular US Priority Mail flat rate boxes? The only choices it gives me for Priority Mail are: Flat Rate envelopes, Package/Thick Envelope, and Medium Flat Rate box.

Seriously? What about the small flat rate boxes? Or the regular flat rate boxes? Why are they not included as choices in Paypal multi-order shipping?

If they don’t get this fixed, I will be using Stamps.com or some other source to print my postage.

EBAY Must Really Be Needing Money

WOW @ the ridiculous amount of “sponsored links” on EBAY search result pages. EBAY is taking money away from most sellers that way, as novice/casual buyers on EBAY will not ever see how to get to page two of the search results.
