Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

[Snoogz]

New thread...? head that up, sure people will be interested in participating. It was like the ebay scavenger hunt thread till it died.

Unless I missed out on some rad eBay scavenger hunt, I think it was thrift store scavenger hunt!

I'm guessing you didn't give arm hole measurements when you sold it right?

oops. yea that one, you didnt miss out.

and who give arm hole measurements?? I have been asked and then do, but not a typical measurement anywhere I've seen.

No arm hole measurement, I opened spoo's auctions, searched for vest, and provided the measurements he does. Fricking arm hole.....

Spoo, or anyone else who sells women's clothing, how do I sell this? Thought it was an unusual but cool mens cotton coat, turns out it's womens, and I have NO idea how to describe it in the title. Anything would help. Like, I can't think of anything beyond 'Faconnable womens summer coat derpity derp L'. Thanks.

Anyone having problems creating listings on ebay lately? Started happening to me about 3 weeks ago, every time I go to list it it'll come back with an error page saying 'Oops you've missed something' and it's usually a shipping option or item description but of course everything is filled out correctly. If I keep submitting eventually it'll go through after about 10 tries, really frustrating.

Tried clearing out cache/cookies and even used a different browser but same problem.

Is there a metric in traffic reports to tell if visits come from collections? If not directly, is there a workaround to do so?

Yes, this has happened to me a couple times, particularly when I was relisting a single item or editing a single item. Most of my bulk listings (via GarageSale), work fine.

Thanks! It's cotton, but that'll do.

If there is, and I could measure effect, I'd be up for managing an ebay collection for trad ties as a two month experiement. Not sure how it'd be organized, but with how much ebay pushes collections, it might be worth doing. Obviously I'd be pushing my own stuff, but there are many sellers here also listing classic repp stuff and we'd all benefit.

Well, I went ahead and did it. 100+ ties, took my own and from a some guys on here. Now to figure out how to efficiently remove sold items.

Good looking out! Thanks a bunch! I've yet to make a collection, and haven't invested enough time in research to see its benefits yet. What do you know about it?

That's damn near pornographic.

Will be interesting to see the results - thanks for including mine!
