I am wondering if anyone else if having the same problem and can shed any light on the subject.

I am having problems sending invoices to buyers that have an AOL email address.
It has been in the last three weeks or so that this has occured.

I've had people ask me two to three times to send an invoice, and I do, but it never arrives.

I occasionaly have trouble with AOL user, I usally try to send it from my yahoo email and it gets through. It all depends on the AOL users internet email settings and wther they allow all internet domains to come through. (part of their "protection" against junk mail)

Greetings,

I have had several intermittant problems over the last month with AOL eamils (sending). In a few instances I had to pull contact info and call them.

I understand you can forward an email through ebay. I tried to find the link to do this but gave up after searching for about 20 minutes, and just pulled their info because it was easier than finding ebays buried services.

I don't think they actually want you to use it, they just want to deter you from directly contacting other ebayers. BTW. same troubles with webtv.

I haven't tried to find out if the trouble is on my end or the other ISP's.

long_gone,

you can go to the auction listing and use the 'email to a friend' link in cases like this.

The only AOL mail problem I have is sending to @Home addys. Of course, then again, it may be a problem with @Home.

I've had @home for 2 1/2 yrs, and have never had a problem with AOL email, sending, or receiving. I think it depends on the local cable company?

AOL users can set personal perferences and block certain emails from coming thru. For example, one can block all emails originating from a particular domain.

Also, AOL allows each users to have 7 screen names. However, the master screen name can have certain feature set so that the other screen names cannot open emails.
