Have these changes been announced? Bank transfer is gone and pick up customers charged postage?

Hi

Just had a sale but not yet paid.

Customer wishes to pick up but invoice sent by ebay includes postage. I am unable to issue an amended invoice.

Customer also wishes to pay via bank transfer but this is no longer supported by ebay.

I spoke with CS about these matters. This was confirmed. I imagine that I will now need to call CS each time this occurs, to amend FVF.

That is until they refuse to do so, as occurred with partial refunds.

Yep, I reckon it's all got to do with your 'sale'...can you see that eBay have also put a promo code on your items?

POTTER  3% off your SALE price

[padraicpaul91]

OK. I've done a good lookat my listings.

'Immediate payment required' has been applied to all the discounted listings I checked.

[padraicpaul91]

I have seen the promo code on my and others listing.

They seem to vary 3,5,10%, I've seen in recent days.

I've never had a 'sale'.....so is it a requirement by ebay....or another glitch?

[padraicpaul91]

No requirement,no glitch. And something I don't wish to do.

 I have been having promotions / discounts, on a fairly regular basis, over the past two years.

Even with 50% more listings, turnover has been difficult to maintain. But the sales work for me.

Reducing prices doesn't seem to work, unless there is a red tag and a price with a slash through it.

Ebay also sends promo emails to viewers and watchers of items.

If there is stock I want to see gone, or is easily replaced, it makes sense in these times. 

[twyngwyn]

when I want to 'get rid of stock' I do 'bulk' listings....seems to work for me

[padraicpaul91]

That may depend on what sort of stuff we sell.

Soap, sure, and I do. It's just not that way with pictures.

Those who inquire about multiple and various purchases are offered a good deal.
