I find it annoying when instead of spending a bit of time on a proper condition report, the seller wastes a lot of time on giving the plot of the movie. Lumi

How come they never say it looks BETTER in their digital image than it does in person? For that matter I can't count the number of times that an eBay image of something I purchased just "happened" to obscure or leave out some important part of the poster (like their "scanner" can't fit the entire image, so they leave out the tattered bottom border, etc).

Naturally we all have pet peeves such as the lobby cards, Mexican cards, those unusually long listing from panzeterex (that I avoid like the plaque) etc. that are listed in the "originals" categories. I have always found those sellers who use the term "WOW" in their description to catch your eye for what is normally a mediocre offering. My question to sellers is-----------------Do you believe this is effective or actually a term actually saying "This listing is not worthwhile but I hope this catches your eye to look at it"? What is your pet peeve about ebay listings? CJL In a message dated 1/9/2009 2:54:58 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, fdav...@verizon.net writes: Regarding item#4.

It all is the same as ever as of a few minutes ago.2. If they do change, all of your listings may be collapsed into onelarger category without your having to change anything. 3. If they dochange, you can easily and straightforwardly mass edit item categoriesin TurboLister, if that's your preference (as I believe I've noted herebefore, FileExchange is much faster and easier for simple revisions -category listings would be a snap). Depending on your computer, you maywant to break 3000 listings into groups of a few hundred or so - butimport/export shouldn't be necessary. Even if you decide to participatein the eBay "item specifics," you can multiple item edit those, too. 4.Maybe you really don't have anything better to do with your time.-----Original Message-----From: MoPo List [mailto:mop...@sol03.american.edu]on Behalf Of FrancSent: Friday, January 09, 2009 08:01 AMTo: mop...@sol03.american.edusubject: Re: [MOPO] Ebay changes its listing categoriesFor all the dealers on the board I'm posting this alert that Ebayapparently has changed some of its category listings. Formerly lobbycard listings needed to be broken out by decades. Now all lobby cardsare going to be posted under one category which to me makes no sensesince posters will continue to be broken out by decades. While thissounds like no big deal, for those of you who keep a dbase in Ebay'sTurbo lister, it is a big deal because it will mean having to change allthe listings that are stored. I have 3000+ listings stored. I will haveto export them to a spread changes and make the change externally andthen reimport them to Turbo as if I have nothing better to do with mytime. Do any of these jokers at Ebay ever consider any of theramifications of their constant cosmetic changes?
