The only yelling I hope to hear on these boards is you guys yelling at us, not eachother. Ok, I dont want to hear any yelling at me either Smile

I'm certain that if things are kept friendly here the board can grow to a pretty good size without those negatives that normally come along with larger boards. If not I dont have a problem disciplining trouble makers through warnings, moderation, and banning if it were to come to that. I'm talking larger issues. I try keep my nose out of the smaller squabbles and let those work themselves out on their own.


Gosh, I hope you do just that and then some.

Thank you. Smile

Hello fellow former SDers,

On SD I was known as ladybedilia,

Hey There!

Guess what? On September 8th Someone Googled your eBay ID and came to visit my ME page.
The viewer had searched for you and come up with the link to the Sparedollar Webring that I USED to be on. So hopefully I got a sale because they were looking for you! <wink>

Here's the link:

Glad to see you made it over here.

Take care, Donna

May I say how refreshing it is to see people saying nice things? After seeing all the sarcastic remarks aimed at people who questioned the rate increase when service hadn't improved, I decided to do what one loyal user suggested and just leave. Was over there today trying to delete some old images and went to the community board to find out why I couldn't. My goodness, people were being hateful. And thank you Auctiva for actually responding to questions and/or problems. Even when it's my fault I mess up I need to know what to do to fix itSmile
I like it here!

Right now I have to check out about counters.



kimber, we have GREAT counters. We are partnered with Sellathon and give all of our customers free basic counters that have some sellathon functionality. Of course if you want the full featured counters that they offer, you can always upgrade with them.. but this by no means is required.

Thanks!

I love big front porches. My grandmother had one with a swing on it when I was growing up. Lemonade is the staple behind many long, lazy summer conversations. Now, this is what I'm talking about. The AHL is history.

All hail, The Front Porch.

Plus, I have popcorn. Who wants some?

PS - Since it's fall/winter we can hangout next to the fireplace for now with some hot chocolate. Yum.

C'mon to Florida David!
Danielle (WAHM) and I are experiencing some really beautiful weather here in FL. Definitely a nice chilled beverage of your choice can be found!

Here's my thoughts..

Is everyone going to keep hanging out in this thread?
Should we ask the Powers At Large to Open a Room that's for everyone? (not just SD'ers that have moved on)

I, for one, would like to have a chance to meet other great folks whose minds I'm sure are sharp and have much to offer...and they wouldn't think about jumping into a thread that looks like it's only made for X-Sparedollar members.

Whadya think?

Thanks for the opportunity to ask!

Well your avatar is coming up as a red x, so I went to see where it was hosted...


Thats cause I moved it from SD to here and didn't change the URL. After I get something moved I'm deleting it from over yonder so I'm not templted to go running back.

~LOL~

All better now Wink

I know whatcha mean. That was a big problem over there. I can`t stand bullies & rude know it alls. It was just amazing how Tomas would over look those posts. IMO he is NOT a good business man because he allowed this one bully (wont mention name) to run customers away. SD is not a good place for me, because a couple of posters over there were just too overbearing. Of course I was rude right back because I never back down from a bully. I like the atmosphere here at Auctiva. Smile

Can't believe some people over at SD are still debating over the rate increase. Gheese, enough already. they need to stop. If SD fits you, stay. If not, there are other alternatives. If other alternatives don't work out, you can always go back. BF is defending SD like he owns the joint. Can't help but wonder why. So sick of it.

You know, if you list hundreds of listings a month, SD is really not that a bad of a deal. Like every service you subscribe to, the question is always "is it worth it for you?".

I think some of the people there just need to move on. Nothing is going to change just because you are bitching about it.

Here here, well said. Ha, if the ones complaining about the SD price increase knew about Auctiva, they'd be gone so fast, BF's head would spin. Lol, that would be a sight to see.

SD is okay, or at least, it use to be. Auctiva is a better interface / program. It is far more user friendly and organized. The staff is continually working out the bugs, upgrading, improving and moving upward and onward. All while offering stellar customer service. $8.95 for so so service with many broken features and zero customer support. Or FREE for killer service and fabulous customer support. What's to think about? Goodbye, SpareDollar parting is such sweet new horizons of great auction management service and no grumpy, bossy, egotistical bullies.

Ah, life is good. Smile

Magie- Very well said. It is nice to see many former SD users here. I signed up for Auctiva on Oct. 15th. Comm. board Nov. 4th. I have been listing auctions & the format is so easy. Everything here actually works! We former SD users are not used to this wonderful treatment. I feel like a pig in sunshine! Big Grin

Your so called, 'tell it like it is' services aren't needed here, biggfredd. We have REAL customer support at Auctiva. We have, Tom, among others to answer all of our questions with respect and kindness minus the pompus, egotistical rudeness that infects SpareDollar. Besides, we all be likin' our sugggggarrrrr just fine. It isn't a matter of not being able to 'handle it'. It's a matter of not wanting to have to 'deal with it (you)'. There's a difference.
magienoiremagienoireMember
Your being a bully or rather rude has nothing to do with SpareDollar needing customer support. You're in demand because SD doesn't have customer support. We have plenty of fabulous support here at Auctiva. So you aren't 'in demand' here. Don't worry, I'm sure there are PLENTY of people who need you over at SD. Don't keep them waiting.

I for one am quite thankful for the help that has been offered to me by Fred.

I'm not sorry to be leaving Sparedollar, but I am sorry to leave some of the wonderful selling minds behind.

I'm happy with Auctiva. It's a business decision on my part. I have worked hard on moving my auctions out and away and don't want any person ragging me because I made a business decision based SOLELY on MY NEEDS. And on the needs to have a business that answers my questions and upgrades on a regular basis. I'd pay Auctiva if I could..oh yes I would. It's not a matter of money for me..it's a business decision.

To be forthright and honest, Fred you shouldn't have been called upon to answer questions regarding SD performance. The owner and proprietor of the service should have been answering questions for years (over 2+ years I was there) in regards to this service.

Now questions in regards to shipping, what is an item, invasions of accounts, threats for negatives, email questions in regards to eBay..yes..I can see those.

But when the proprietor of a business does not answer his emails (and I've sent plenty) or address the problems of his business thats just bad business practice. If the search worked I could go back over the past 24+ months to see how many posts he made about problems his business, Sparedollar, instead of depending upon his members to answer questions.

TAKE THIS OUTSIDE YOU TWO!

I don't want this board mucked up with crappola.
So far it's been a nice place to be and I've enjoyed spending time here.

Once again, I will state this and I mean it!!!!!

Take this elsewhere but not here or I will ask management to LOCK THIS THREAD!

Thoroughly Disgusted,
Donna

No worries from me. I don't want any crap here either. I've been here since, August and haven't had a single problem. I don't plan on having any now. I have nothing left to say to him. I feel confident that, Auctiva will handle any issues that may or may not arise. Moving on......... it's a beautiful day.

I'm going out to enjoy it.

people need to THINK before being nice to INSULTERS.... insulters are DIFFERENT than weirdos and nuts and wild people....

people who see insulters insult ANYONE should not be nice to them even when they do help at times.... its like being nice to a serial killer that only kills once a yr cause he gives out help alot at others times.... giving out help does NOT change what a person is that insults or kills.... don't feed this type person with giving out compliments.. it causes more of this harm from this type person...

if a person overlooks cause a person is helping them.. they NEED to THINK!!!!
W wahm922Member
I say we all move on before this gets out of hand but wasn't BF mentioned here first BEFORE he showed up?

I'm not taking sides cause I myself have been know to tell him to "put a sock in it" Razz

So on a happier note I managed to get all my templates and all my listings out of SD, now to finish up the pics and I'm done.

Converted my about ME page over and sent a bunch of my store items to auction this week and then can put them back in the store via Auctiva if they don't sell.

Back to work . . .

this thread is about sd and the problems over there.. and when talking about problems with sd ,, talking about the forum insulter is part of talking about the problems of sd..

to understand how to handle insulters one has to understand how serial killers should be handled also... yes one is much worse than the other BUT they both should be handled in similar ways..... when both do good 95% then kill and insult 5% of the time.... who are they?? they are insulters and serial killers.. even tho they do help MOST of the time...

and i saw many sd people overlook the insulting cause they were helped... this is like when a serial killer kills one child a yr but helps your child you overlook..... nope never OVERLOOK insulters and killers... insulting is making another feel less so that this person can feel superior.... this is different than weirdos and nut cases and wild people... this is close to the killers... so THINK people before you praise the good these people do... if they can't stop the insulting others don't praise them no matter what help they give YOU... don't be the type to say.. oh he hasn't insulted me so its fine!!!!

Move along, Nothing to see.
Move along now.

On a lighter note, WOOHOO! Danielle (WAHM)! It's hard work and it takes perserverance to get everything rock n rolling...proud of you!

Welcome Grandma and all other new ones to our group.

Patrick thank you for your longer posting with your thoughts.

We'll be moving on...Nothing to see. Just like the cops say as they wave you on at the scene of an accident.

We'll continue to have a nice community full of support catsnroses (call me Donna), you watch, we'll all stay on top of this...ok?

Take care Everyone,
Donna
S suthrnjewlMember
C'mon in!

Visit the boards and get a feel for the service. If you need any help we're here..just leave a question even better yet..fill out a help form and you get an answer from their customer service.

Take care!

Gosh...answering questions daily? On the boards?

I hear it was a nice buncha folks back then..I'm glad you're here and we'll try to make the transition smooth.

Take care, Donna
S shayMember
Thanks Donna!

Not only did he answer questions daily on the board...he emailed people too. And it was FREE. We all helped with little things on his new site...spelling, grammar, etc. That seemed like internet years ago... <snicker...like walking 3 miles to school, uphill, in the snow, with a hot potatoe to keep your hands warm then ya ate it for lunch>

I'm liking this place. I've had 3 support tickets...all answered in a timely manner. Not necessarily fixed but at least addressed...I can deal with it. There's definitely a steeper learning curve here but I'm slowly catching the hang of it. And I actually like the lister better.

D dwangelMember
KtazeyKat, don't just stop by. you should give Auctiva a try. Ince you get over the learning curve. you'll find it pretty much does what SD does. Templates are better in my opinion.

I have moved all photos out of SD. I didn't know any better way of doing it. I just copied and pasted each photo to my harddrive and uploaded them all to Auctiva from the harddrive. However when I did a preview of the photos, they appear to be pretty small. When I uploaded photos directly from the camera, the photos are blown up by Auctiva when I did a preview. So I am little concern about that when I use these transplanted photos in the auctions. Hopefully they won't be as small. But there is nothing I can do about that.
D dwangelMember
I just pointed the curser on the photo and right clicked to do copy and pasted to my harddrive. It was a long process. They look pretty small in Auctiva's photo folder compared to the ones that I directly loaded to Auctiva from my Flashcard. We'll see how they turn out when I do a couple of listings.

I see Auctiva fixed its photo folder problem I had before. All the photos actually got uploaded to the folder I created, not to the "no folder" folder. So that's very good.

Oh I see! Its just so darn hard to keep up with all of your IDs...Danielle, eCloset, FullMoon, brokenhalo & who knows how many more.

Gosh,

IDs shouldn't be a problem...right? I don't post all of my IDs here either...selling IDs that is. I have four of them including Suthrnjewl. There's no need to post them though...This was the one I started with on Auctiva and I'm comfortable with this one.

I assumed everyone would know that Danielle has two businesses going on the internet and with eBay. She has them on her 360 and she's had them for a long time posting..I just figured everyone knew. PLUS WAHM is her YAHOO 360 name..work at home mom and that's on her link.

I for one don't care how many IDs another has..sorry catsnroses...but it doesn't matter to me as long as the ID that posts to me is respectful.

Danielle thanks for the tips via email regarding the template question I asked.

We have some great minds here if we would all just be respectful of what everyone has to offer this will go smooth. Some have the same old IDs they are known everywhere as (me) and some might have new ones (thats ok) and others might have several.

Thanks, Donna


Donna, I`m not Danielle if you were talking to me.

Thanks for the heads up..

Nope Danielle is Danielle..ecloset/full moon. We're on one another's 360 and go back a few years.

If I knew your first name I'd call you that with permission also.

You are so right Donna. We SHOULD be respectful of others & that includes not calling another a pig. Can you tell me what Danielle`s ID brokenhalo is used for, other than trying to stir up crap with me on another thread? The images thread to be exact.
magienoiremagienoireMember
I have no idea what's going on and don't really want to know.

One might have many IDs but it doesn't matter very much because most people have a single or couple of IP addresses. Auctiva Staff has already made it very clear that troublemakers will not be tolerated. So, multiple ID is a moot issue per se. The IP addy is what counts. For heaven's sake -- be good to one another.

I'm glad you found us via a Google.
It's as I told everyone when I left SD..I'm NOT that hard to find.

Glad you're here. Customer service is great and you'll be more than pleased.

I love the term lost boys and girls.

Yep 9th in a Google Search. I'm glad I titled the thread the way I did..I had hoped it would bring the stragglers in eventually.

We're also meeting over at Auction Sellers Motivators. If you'd like that message board link...lemme know.

Hey, Fredd, as long as your here, what was that HTML kludge-hack that we used to use to center a fixed-width listing in the screen? I remember the text-align trick for IE and margin:0px auto for Fox, but wasn't there something deprecated we had to use, too?

biggfredd,

Thanks for telling me about what makes Internet Explorer better than the Firefox browser I was using.
I've since used nothing but Internet Explorer and everything runs much smoother and faster.

What model of Dell computer was that you suggested I get?

I thought that those new to Auctiva MIGHT enjoy sitting through the below mentioned class. It's quick, fun and interesting. This to me is Customer Service at it's finest. Or perhaps I'm just amazed after having been denied any customer service from a previous service for so long I'm delirious. <smile> Enjoy, Donna
Hello,

Auctiva is hosting it's new "How to List" class and I am looking for anyone interested to view and participate next Wednesday, Nov 16th, at 4 PM PST. This class will cover the basics of creating a listing, including uploading images and using templates and will last about 30 minutes.

To participate, please file a support case expressing your interest in the beta test of our "How to List" class. You can do this by going to Auctiva -> Help and clicking the "File a Support Case" link. I will send an email invitation to the first 10 people who express interest.

This is a great chance for anyone who has signed up but not yet posted to get a quick demo.

You'll take your computer to a web link we give you and you'll be able to watch our screen while listenting to us on the phone call, as well as interact. It's a toll free number as well.

Thank you,
Auctiva Support
