They started an ebay express user board at ebay and one of the "tacked to top" threads addressed what to do if you items are not appearing....
seems that if your images are not attached to your auctions the official ebay way it's like you don't have a picture and your items will not be included. Seems that is an issue with lots of folks using third party image hosting (thankfully Vendio seems to have had it right):
FROM THE EBAY BOARD
Some typical issues why sellers are qualified but their listings are not showing up:
- listings have condition specified in the description or title, but not in the "item condition" item specific
- listings are listed in a category that is not eligible for eBay Express
- listings have pictures in the description, but not in the eBay designated fields
- listings are listed with a PayPal account that is not a Premier or Business level
- listings are listed with a PayPal account that is set to block all unconfirmed address
- listings are Auctions with BIN option, which are not eligible for eBay Express

does anyone who accepts Paypal ship to an unconfirmed address? Will Paypal honor the DC once it indicates delivery on the USPS site?
TIA

Doesn't make sense...
My STORE listings are show up in quantity! That's a Buy-It-Now if ever there was one! What, in eBay's thinking, distinguishes BIN from STORE listings? (Go figger!)

So how bad is it going to hurt sellers who aren't listed in Express?
From what I understand it is automatically put in Express if you met all the specifications.
So if I have my paypal set to have me accept or deny payment for unconfirmed addresses - will that disqualify me from Express?

I don't think I have had an Express Sale yet but then again from what I've read, the only way to tell is through PayPal notifications (I have it set to not receive them) and the transaction will appear twice on PayPal - once as authorized and once as received or something like that.
I don't know what to expect once they start promoting Express - seems really hard to find postcards now.
Lady - I think you are ok if you have the setting set to "Ask Me" about shipping to non-confirmed addresses but you might want to confirm that with Express CS live chat or on the Express ebay board.

I've got a lot of stuff in there that doesn't have item specifics - I don't understand that with turbolister that there can't be a default setting. I've been using item specifics since they announced EE several months ago, but still only about 25% of my inventory has it. I will look at their bulk editor, but with 6000 listings, it is a PITA to go back and ammend.

I listed a free Gallery service and I know of other free services too, BUT, Vendio pulled the post! So much for Freedom of Speach!

Freedom of speech is a guarantee that you can basically criticize the government. The First Ammendment says that "congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech." There is no constitutional guarantee that vendio, a company who provides these boards free of charge to anyone who registers (whether they use the service or not, I don't but I still can post) can't remove or edit your posting about a competitor in the marketplace.

Correct-o-mundo!
Tis why, when I know of better alternatives to VD, I just post my email address -- anybody who wants can talk with me about THAT off-Vendio...seems fair
