Do you think less buyers ask you a question because he/she has to log in to the system before they can e-mail you? I used to have my e-mail as my user id, but got a lot of spam. Now the number of buyer questions I get have slowed down.
The script extracts the item number plus item title (first 50 characters) and places it in the subject line.
Write me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to forward a live example running on eBay. I won't post it here to comply with AW rules.
(NOTE: Replace all [ with < and all ] with >
here's the script
[script language=Javascript]
function doIt()
{
var _title = document.title;
var _x = _title.indexOf("item"
var _i = _title.substr(_x+5,11);
var _y = _title.indexOf(" - "
var _j = _title.substr(_y+4,50);
self.location="mailto:[email protected]?subject=" + "item " + _i + _j;
}
[/script]
