Comments on: ebay Australia: Free listings and new buyer emails http://tamebay.com/2009/11/ebay-australia-free-listings-and-new-buyer-emails.html eBay & ecommerce made easy Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:38:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Judy http://tamebay.com/2009/11/ebay-australia-free-listings-and-new-buyer-emails.html#comment-53829 Judy Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:59:50 +0000 http://tamebay.com/?p=10054#comment-53829 This is a great promo - I'm impressed that for once eBay hasn't left it too late in the lead-up to Christmas to offer FLDs to sellers. In the past it's usually been the first or second week in December, which is almost too late to guarantee delivery by Christmas to some parts of this big brown land of ours. I got a <b>Don't forget to pay for your ...</b> email the other day, 48 hours after purchase. The text of the email was just "Thanks again for shopping on eBay". The irritating part of receiving the email was that I had sent the seller 3 messages requesting Registered Post and he hadn't replied to any of them. Even though I knew the 'Don't forget... ' email was automated, it irritated me intensely and I send a very terse message to the seller, which finally got a response. I know how it works and it annoyed me, so I wonder who buyers who don't know the eBay system feel about it. Not a great step forward in 'communicating', IMO This is a great promo – I’m impressed that for once eBay hasn’t left it too late in the lead-up to Christmas to offer FLDs to sellers.
