Hi there!

I guess I'm too late.
I went off to life outside this box.
Yep..all you have to do is set up preferences FIRST before going forth.

Since you weren't sure what a store is..
Here's mine.
http://www.auctiva.com/stores/viewstoreitems.aspx?id=6466

Sorry I wasn't hanging around.
If ever in doubt about anything, file a support ticket first and they always answer very promptly.

Take care, Donna

I still say the hand smacking to BF is just wrong..in so VERY many ways and I'll stand by that! Whatever happened the threads will be poofed and deleted or "altered" before anyone can really see them.

Well, lemme see..
Tomas.
Professional.
Nope..no matter how I put it into my calculator..it doesn't add up.

I don't know what planet Tomas has been living on..but to smack BF's hand IN PUBLIC after everything BF has done for FREE including been one of the most loyal cheerleaders for SD/Tomas..well, then that oughta show the members Tomas' true colors.

An email..that's all it would've taken. Less than one minute out of his Tomas' day.

Sad!
Truly unprofessional.

Not surprising behavior from Tomas, but still after all the help BF has offered over the years you'd think he would at least receive a heads up in private.

It doesn't matter what service I belong to or how badly BF bad mouths me, I will stand by what I said and say that the public hand smacking of BF was just wrong in SO many ways.

Just my two cents.
If there's anyone that wants to argue with me? Don't bother cause...well, just cuz.

Thanks wahm922. I'm very glad to hear that you're happy with customer support.

When I was doing my homework before joining, one thing that stood out over here is how frequently the Owners/managers post on the boards. I am glad they're so engaged with the community and paying such close attention to what's going on with the site.

Edited to say "hi and thanks" to gotshirtey too.

I think there are going to be a lot of us with "Newbie" under our names in the next few months!

Edited again because my post "over there" has been deleted! Wow. I've never been censored! I read on another thread over there that the new biz partner is on vacation this weekend. I guess someone didn't want him to read my post when he returned.

So much for my lack of motivation to clean out my images and templates over there. I'm plenty motivated now.

Since when has Tomas ever been professional. He's called, several people out on those boards (including myself) while he's allowed total chaos from a bizzare group (The Flock) to thrive. BF has offered tech support BUT that does somehow negate his rude behavior. He had no business talking down to that woman and telling her how to better run her business. She wasn't addressing, BF. She was addressing Tomas / Greg = admin.

BF should expect as much from Tomas because that's how he handles things. Apparently, BF is just like the rest of the SDers. I have a feeling with Ink in charge the little gossip trouble making members' days are numbered, and it's about time.

It is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooog overdue!

thanks. things have been pretty ugly over there today.

and Virginia. i saw your comment on the 'POOF' thread over there (and Tomas's reply) and i'm pretty sure that you were misinterpreted. Tomas was talking about a different thread in the AHL today that got deleted because it took a REALLY ugly racist turn. you might want to clarify that over there. your post that got deleted was NOTHING like what people were spewing in that other thread.

Odd how one of the members there swore they had never heard another sdMember make racial slurs and yet, this very poster obviously hates Middle Eastern people. As they've made such comments regarding them.

Maybe with all of the changes, some of these members have fallen, bumped their heads and are delirious?

Glad to be here,

Hey There Zola!

I'm glad to see another familiar face join us.

C'mon in and if you need any help, Customer Service here is a high priority.

Be sure to take some of the online classes here. Scholartimes loved how the classes/meetings are run and her opinion on the classes is the best I've ever seen! <smile> Look it up for a big smile!

Here's the link if you need it:

I myself have found that not using IE works best, if you have FF, Opera or Advanced Browser..use it and you'll not be disappointed.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Donna

yep.. and it seems jeff is on the ball here... said something about a member here going to other boards downing here and making fun... ummm.. sounds like a double agent trying to cause drama....

man i remember way back on auction watch now vendio .. a guy was living his whole life downing bidville.... going everywere and looking for every angle to down it... yes competitors will indeed hire people to do this dirty job and all people should watch out for this... yes watch out for this and watch out for ones who have a need for power ....these types can twist info to fit what they are doing...when information is twisted we can not learn efficiently.....great job that jeff saw something and explained it..!!

yep... monopolies harms all but the owners.. we all should help and lift up any new kids on the block .. more the better.. the feebay monopoly needs competition very badly to help both the sellers and buyers.... helping all new sites helps us ALL... unless we are connected to a competitor or the owners of feebay..and this goes with auction services.. we all need to help as many as we can.... be positive and make it as easy as possible to grow..pressuring new start ups harms all of us sellers...

What you fail to grasp and it has been explained several times is...

This service is FREE for sellers because BUYERS are paying for it via insurance. Also, Auctiva has other relationships set up with Sellathon. So, if Auctiva members upgrade their Sellathon via Auctiva, they get a kickback.

Do you honestly believe Jeff is running Auctiva for the pure joy of it? He can say, Auctiva is free because essentially, for the sellers, it is BUT that isn't saying, they aren't getting PAID.

I'm verrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy sure Auctiva has a flat rate monthly insurance policy with UPic. I betcha' they get it for nothing, and I mean, nothing. Ten bucks or less. So, if you and anyone else is concerned about the health of Auctiva, make insurance madatory, or sell a lot more of it. Thousands of Auctiva members garnishing $1.30 or more for insurance IS paying for Auctiva.

Every time an Auctiva members pays for their insurance, they're paying for the use of Auctiva. A lovely concept. I like it. Savvy!

WOW! Am I missing something???? I only know about eBay stores, one of which I have. But, yours don't look like eBay stores, they look like something else. Are these in addition to your eBay stores? How can I get one? All along, I guess when I've heard the word store, I've just thought of the eBay store. I'm just a little confused here now. Anyone care to explain??
Many thanks,

I haven't completed the contract(s) yet, but there are definitely some very exciting partnerships we are investigating/negotiating right now. In fact, I just got off the phone with one of our potential partners. Smile

Like Auctiva Shipping insurance, these value added services are things that will enhance the buying experience on eBay, and at the same time provide an additonal revenue stream for Auctiva AND our sellers.

On a different note, I am tempted to give you a sneak peak at another idea we have (free to our sellers of course), but we are still working on scoping out the details... and I don't want our competitors to know about it. Just know, it is a really cool idea, that will provide you, our sellers, with a ton of value. I can't guarantee that we are going to do this, but we are constantly looking for cool new ideas to provide value to our customers.

I will let this fact speak for itself: "We (Auctiva) have been doing this longer (eBay seller tools) than anybody."
