Where do you get rid of Sellathon?

In the Item Details, below the description editor you can select Sellathon Counter or No Counter. That should do it. You could then revise your listing in eBay and add a counter if you wish. Auctiva is working to get a counter system going again, I'm hoping it won't be through Sellathon.

Thanks kbalona, I was been searching for that info!

So what you are saying is that I have to uncheck everyone of my auctions manually by hand one by one to have this removed. It is amazing that auctiva did not see the subscription snare that this would present to auctiva subscribers.

Ebay actually has a way of selecting all current auctions and putting a counter on them all at the same time with just a few clicks. I should have gone this route in the first place.

No way! Just change your master profile to have that unchecked.

Daddyo...
I have been looking for that place in ebay to put their counters back in my listings and can't find it, can you help please!

I got a similar response from Sellathon, and they are history as far as I'm concerned. I had an open problem with Auctiva and they suggested I message them for the problem.

WaitressChik, you need to use the ebay "Revise your Item", and the "Free Page counter" is located in the Pictures and Details section of the listing editor. However, you may not be able to add the counter, once you have bids.

I have switched to using the Andale Counter. Andale was the contract service to ebay for counters until recently. Andale was bought by Vendio. Andale can automatically add the counter to all listing or dynamically add the counter using their status page. They use the token method, like Auctiva. They have at least got accurate counters and have a long history.....at least a good temporay solution.

I advised Auctiva to D R O P Sellathon and at least allow the ebay counter as an interum alternative. And that's my professional recommendation....

Thanks Dan,
I was hoping to find a way that I didn't have to do them each individually - guess not...

How about the new listings, I'm guessing there is no way of putting ebays counter in them either until they are posted and then revising them???

I'm about to google for a counter site that I can put a html code in my details profile or something.

Oh yeah I didn't read your reply thoroughly, anadale, I think I signed up with them a while ago but never really used it - Thanks!

Yes, you can use Andale to add the counter to current listings and can blanket add the counter to all future lists (which I'm getting ready to test). Andale has been around along time, so I have good faith in their counters and systems.

Dan

What does Andale (Vendio?) charge for their counters? Or is it free?

Andale counters are free, I've used them for a long time. Go to www.andale.com. They have a bunch of different styles too!
You can sign up to have them automatically added to your future auctions,or they can be added manually.

Thanks for the linky, might give them a spin until Auctiva comes up with something.

This only works for future listings using the master profile. It does not go in and edit all existing auctions in bulk. One has to manually remove them from all saved fully written auctions that will be listed in the future. All current auctions on ebay will ride with sellathon counters until the auctions are cancelled or run out of listing time. I am currently updating all my saved auction lists individually by hand, one at a time.

I will then go to ebay and revise all current listings in bulk with andale counters.

Here is the page link on ebay with the instructions for bulk listing http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/questions/revise-item.html . The counters are provided by andale as a free service to ebay.

Happy revising in bulk through ebay
