I really don’t care whether these auto emails have typos or other errors in them. I also don’t care it eBay say they are improving them.

All I want is a button so that ……………. I CAN SWITCH THEM OFF ! ! ! !

11 years on ebay and I have never come across anything as idiotic as an 48 hour payment reminder that you have no control over,
who ever thought that one up and who ever allowed it should be sectioned

plus, we have an aussie, who did not realise the shipping costs, so we agreed to forgo the transaction, next thing we know ebay fires off a payment reminder,
to say hes confused and annoyed is an understatement,
yes we should have did a mutual yes we should mark items paid yarda,yarda, yarda,
though in between all this bollocks and bullshit we need find some time to list and to sell

sod ebay I do it my way, the way that has worked quite well for over a decade
we dont remind buyers that often, and even then it needs to be a week or more

after 48 hours is pushy grasping foot in the door ,pikey, and in your face

a stab in the dark…

maybe if you marked them as paid ebay would count them as paid.

not guaranteeing anything mind you.

I can say with confidence, as of Friday 13th, folk at eBay HQ are looking into improving these automated emails. Watch this space!

What a joke, yet another disaster foisted apon us by the Ho and his corporate cronies,(he really is a moron) by the way if you take a really good look at Ebay’s OWN ToS, they are violating by sending out these notifications.. they CLEARLY state they do NOT interfere in the auction process as it is between the seller and the buyer exclusively… OH really now….so what do you call this newest interferrance

I’m also curious as to why the shareholders who surely MUST see all the negative impact, the vastly reduced sellers, the vanishing buyers etc ad infinitum are NOT baying for the Ho’s blood. The mind boggles.
