Reason for ending listings

pnc75 — Tue, 02 Aug 2016 06:52:20 GMT

Hi All,

I have to go to hospital for quite a llong spell and so need to end all of my listings for a while.

However, none of the reasons given for ending them apply to my case.

Could anyone suggest which reason would be the best to choose and could you confirm that I won't be chartged a fee for ending them.

None of them have bids on.

Isn't there the optin tochoose that the item is no lnger available to sell? If not pick any other that is nearest. It desn' really matter as t maked no difference as no fees will be charge as long as there are no bids.

Hi Thanks for that. Yes that is the closest reason; I was just worried that they might not let me re-list it later on when I'm hopefully back again. Silly thinking, I know, nut then who knows how ebay thinks sometimes!

If you end more than one item at a time, you don't have to give reasons.

Just select them all in 'my selling' and click 'end'. Easy as.

I think PJ was querying eBay's ability to think.

"You mean eBay think" kind of throwaway.

The reason you select is probably only for the marketing department to look at once a year.

Just select No longer for sale and then relist later. But remember they only remain in unsold for 60 days unless you are using a third party listing tool.

Or better still, do as dave suggests.

Thanks, of course I was referring to ebay as the group of people who make the decisions, as in any company, it thinks what those in charge and other employees (& those in call centres) think.

Hi Kopes, many thanks for your help. They do stay in turbolister for longer, is that right?

I had to end all my listings a few weeks ago due to illness in the family keeping me away from home. I tried to do a bulk end and it wouldn't allow me to. I had to end them all individually, which was slow and tedious. Maybe it's different for BIN items (mine are all auctions)?

I was able to do a bulk relist last week though with no problems.

Don't you think that's enough of the rubbish and put downs? You already know I have to go to hospital (open heart surgery for tricuspid valve and very harrowing recovery, that's if I survive.). I am struggling here. I came here and asked for help, not to be the butt of jokes. If your mission was to upset me, you have succeeded. Congratulations.

Best of luck with your surgery .... I'm sure everything will work out with eBay when you are back on board 🙂

And I agree ... this is meant to be a 'caring/sharing' page No need for a response unless its to offer some help.

Don't let the insensitivity of some amongst us, upset you !

The vast majority would feel sympathetic about your situation and find an appropriate way to express it. Its just the unfortunate few that don't seem to have that facility !!

Sorry that you have this ordeal ahead.

Hope it all works out well for you !!!

I think of the boards as a question and answer system.

Ask a question, get answers. Mostly factual, sometimes opinion, sometimes (rare) stated as opinion, sometimes (shock horror) leavened with a bit of humour. I have never taken the mickey out of the OP. I have assisted the OP on several ocassions. I don't consider PJ's post offensive.

PJ was mocking eBay, not you. I can understand you feeling vulnerable and scared about your upcoming surgery. My husband recently underwent major life changing, life threatening surgery that has meant a lot of permanent, every day lifestyle changes and the only thing that has got us through is humour. It's OK to laugh when you're going through an ordeal. If you lose your sense of humour because you're sick, you lose everything. It has helped us get through some very dark days.

Good luck with your surgery. It will all go well. They try not to let people die these days, there is far too much paperwork to fill out, so it's best avoided at all costs. Stay positive, keep your sense of humour and trust the staff that do this every day. They know what they're doing. I totally understand your fears are real, I was terrified when Mr Tippy had his surgery, it is OK to be scared. Just try not to let the fear consume you.
