Ok i will try my best to expalin the problem
I paid the .25 cents for the item to be put in the galllery
When you type in the word indonesia as a search my items show up in the gallery
But when you go to the catagory
Collectibles:Cultures & Religions:Cultures:Asian:Indonesian
and view in the gallery i do not show up???

I noticed this problem several weeks ago. I also do not show my auctions in the regional area. I have heard others with the same complaint.
It has been suggested that Ebay lets SOME auctions fall into to a black hole. Which explains the lack of bids for a unique item.
I am finding my trust level with Ebay fading away.

Could this have something to do with the indexing problem? Did you revise the listing or did it receive an early bid?

eastwest,
Your last post contained a link to a live auction, which is a violation of our CG's - please edit that out.
If you're unable to do so within the next 30 minutes I'll have to delete your post.
Thanks,
Sara

What makes you think I have all the answers? 
Who knows what gives with eBay's Search feature, most weeks it seems to be funged up.

Interesting, when you use eBay's "Find an Item" link
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?WhereIsAnItemShow
It shows the Gallery Giff, but no pic of your item?
Who the hell knows?

If the items haven't received a bid, try editing them.
Sometimes they get pciked up the second time

When you edit an item that does not have bids???
There is no spot stating anything about the gallery...is that somthing i should worry about!!!!
I just had 25 auction close last night..I thought i would check them to see if i had picked gallery on them..90% were showing up as gallery when you relist them threw ebay ...But when they finally get listed on ebay they are not showing up..basically i am paying for a fee and not getting it !!!!
I know i am imputting it correctly because some are showing up!!!!

Well i got an answer from ebay!!!!!Hello,
OH! I understand now---and I'm so sorry for my confusion!
In order for that thumbnail to display when browsing, it is necessary
that you include your item in the Gallery. In addition to choosing that
option and supplying a URL for your Gallery image, you must also enter
an Image URL in the Picture URL field on the Sell Item page.
If you use iPIX Picture Services and choose the Gallery option, this
will be done automatically.
We do apologize for any confusion or concern this has caused.
Regards,
|
