Hi!

I have just launched 5323510977 and realize that it appears really LARGE. Why is this and how do I make it regular size--I have some pending auctions that are doing the same thing!

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure, but it looks like some of your pictures are too big to be on the side.

Did you resize your pictures as you uploaded them into Vendio?

In Firefox they all look fine except for the pic next to the title.

I think you could get by with half as many pictures, but whatever.

I like (sarcasm here) how some sellers are using feedback to promote their own business, like the seller who left this feedback for you:

"Check out our new repeat buyers program! Earn credit toward next purchases"

I've seen a lot of them puffing their own websites in feedback, which I didn't think was allowed.

Unschedule your pending auctions. Go to Vendio > My Account > Ebay Site Specifics (or possibly Universal preferences) I forgot which, check them both, and check the option that downsizes your images. Don't forget to save the change. Then go and reschedule the pending listings. You will have to live with the auction running now, unless you want to end it and relist after you select the downsize option. As it is, it takes quite a while to open the page, and this could cost you bids from impatient bidders on dialup.

Well, you can get feedback left for you removed if it contains a link. Something like "www.theirsite.com" is considered a static link even though it's not clickable.

However, since these mentions are made in POSITIVE feedback, I suspect few people want the comment removed. (I am one of the rare exceptions; I have had positive feedbacks for me removed for privacy reasons.)

Interesting.

Looks like you can get away with it, Jack. Just keep it under 80 chars and you're good to go.

The auction looks fine with one exception. Too many photos. Either combine some or get rid of them. Takes way too long to download for the average buyer. Remember the 43 second rule. That is the average amount of time a person is willing to wait for a webpage to load until they click the back button and move on.


Tomiiiiii,
Take your political posts to the RT. They do not belong in the ebay forum.
