Hello to all. Thanks in advance for any help.
I've been Ebay-ing for 3-4 years, with 59 (non-repeat) deals, and a 100% feedback rating. Only about 20-25% of my deals are as a seller. I've only sold personal items I don't need, and I've had good success, getting at least my minimum, and most times more than I really expected. I use only FedEx Ground for shipping, because I have an account with them, and they've been great, so I don't use Ebay shipping, obviously. I also use only PayPal, and I have had no problems.
What brings me here is that I saw lots of listings using Auctiva, and they looked good, plus the savings on listing features, like photos (I usually include six) and enhancements. I don't really need the checkout or insurance features. I have already deleted the Auctiva checkout feature in My Profile.
btw, I've read over the forums for a few days, and it looks like there are some problems with folks' listings. I realize that most of the posts are from folks with problems, and not from people where everything is working fine.
So, I guess my question is, other than saving a few bucks on my few listings, why Auctiva? Will my "My Ebay" still work the same, or do I have to come back to Auctiva to see how my listing is doing? Some mentioned delays in the listing showing up, so is that a big concern?
I would appreciate any advice for someone who is only going to list an item or two, every now and then. I'm open to any new ideas or suggestions. Even though I've had no problems with ebay, I could stand to save a few bucks per listing, so long as it wouldn't take more time than it does now (I have a tendency to describe all my listings in great detail-My marketing background), and would be just as easy to track. Anyone, anyone? :+)
Thanks much.
