scottheisel Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 25 EXTRA characters in your title to draw more buyers to your listings! In early September, you'll have nearly 50% more space in your listing titles--25 additional characters--to include more keywords and descriptors to get your listings in front of more interested buyers. New protection for your performance rating We know you want to do the right thing for your customers--that's why eBay always encourages buyers to contact the seller before filing a Buyer Protection case. Starting in August, if the buyer doesn't contact you before opening a Buyer Protection case and you act quickly to resolve it, the case won't be included in your performance rating. Keeping buyers on eBay Buyers should be able to find everything they need to complete a purchase right in the listing--and if necessary, contact the seller right from eBay. Starting in October, sellers will not be able to submit a new listing or re-listing if the description includes an email address or link that doesn't help buyers transact safely and efficiently on eBay. Meaningful return policy Today's online buyers expect to have a reasonable timeframe for returns, and the option of getting money back. Starting in August you can specify "Money back or exchange" as a refund option. Early next year, the 3- and 7-day return options will no longer be available and a cash refund option will be required for all returns. As always, sellers may specify an "all sales final" policy. Give yourself a competitive edge for the holidays--start offering longer timeframes and cash-back options now. Category and Item Specific updates As always, changes to categories and item specifics are included with the rest of seller updates. Look for updates in Coins, Computers & Networking, eBay Motors Parts & Accessories, Consumer Electronics, Tickets, Collectibles, and eBay Motors Vehicles. Find out if your listings are affected.

element101 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 that 25 extra characters is going be awesome (as a seller) and suck (as a buyer) at the same time. It sucks typing in a band name like nofx or something and getting 1000 result only like 10 being nofx records. totally guilty of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifebystereo Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Haha that's the perfect example. I feel like "NOFX" is thrown into every punk-related auction ever (and I'm probably guilty of doing it as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchashorttime Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 and owls - s/t! before that repress i was looking for a copy on ebay, and there are so many strange records with the word "owls" in their titles. it doesn't help that the record is self-titled, either.

Guest Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 so, what's the bullshit part? i don't see anything that bad for sellers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhansel411 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Converge gets thrown on a lot of non-Converge stuff too. Everything I put up if it's even loosely related I do this. Maybe someone looking for a converge record sees me selling a btbam record and is like damn... I want that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoamgreen Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 the worst band to search for is still Brand New. I know I'm the only one searching, but I'll be damned if I can find any fucking Anniversary records. Better off searching anniversary +"get up kids" for that ish.

GradedOnACurve Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Really wish as a seller I could leave negative feedback for a non paying buyer. Wheres MusicInVeins11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I thought they were going to mess with the return policy but I'm glad sellers can specify an "All Sales Final" for an auction. I hate selling something, thinking I got rid of it, then to get an email two weeks later from a buyer saying they want a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothingnatural Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 History shows that no matter what, eBay does whatever possible to fuck the seller in the ass just a little deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
