MessageI don't mind reminder notices about auctions ending, but the shorter the better and perhaps highlighting a few choice items or items that are still sitting at the low end.
Too much verbiage just gets ignored, however. Anyone not happy with anyone posts (via the email format) can just auto-send their incomings to the Deleted Items folder.

More than that becomes spam and people stop reading the e-mails which defeats the whole purpose of marketing this way.

When I had one set of auctions per week, I would send a "FA" e-mail the morning after they started, and then another the morning they were closing ( two total per week). When I had two sets of auctions per week, I would send a "FA" e-mail the morning after both had started, and then another one the morning the first set was closing, and another one the morning the second set was closing (three total per week). Now that I have three sets of auctions per week, I send a "FA" e-mail the morning after all three have started, and then another one the morning the first set is closing, and another one the morning the second set is closing, and another one on the morning the third set is closing (four total per week). My question to bidders is, am I sending too many "reminder e-mails" or not enough? I see other sellers send daily updates (sometimes more than one a day) and I wonder if I am missing a valuable marketing opportunity. Or, would I be alienating some of you by e-mailing so often. So should I up the number of FA e-mails I send from 4 per week, or lower the number, or leave it the same. I promise to abide by the popular opinion of actual bidders!
