Hi all,

Great suggestions for items that are Pending or Sold.

QUESTION: Once a week I take some of my eCrater listings and list them at eBay Auction. Do you know if it is OK to have a default image for these items that states something like "Current eBay Auction Item" or similar wording?

Thanks.

Doug - everything in my ebay store or auctions is also in my ecrater.com stores.

I do not mark them on ecrater.com in any way UNTIL - they sell or get a bid - then I mark it sold on ecrater.com. But until it's sold there it's available here. I figure if I sell it here, I just go over and change the item there to be a different item - or if I dont' have time to do that I just end the listing.

I certainly don't want to send a customer from here to there and have to pay fees to sell it!

BTMC,

I agree, I certainly don't want to give eBay any more $ than I have to. I use my auctions as a loss leader, starting at .99, and as advertising to get them to eCrater. I just thought if someone visiting my eCrater Store saw that an item was currently at auction, they might go there and drive up the bidding trying to find a bargain. Just another idea to break up page after page of images.

Donna, bogus orders will come in -- sometimes with real-looking info, sometimes with obviously fake info.

If you don't receive payment right away it's probably best to invoice (assuming the e-mail address is good) and wait a pre-determined amount of time. If payment doesn't arrive by that time, consider it canceled.

I've gotten a few here and I get them at my own site as well. I don't really know why people do it. If they're just testing the cart you'd think they'd have the decency to say so in the comments field.
