Relisting

CW3070 · Posts: 5

I am brand new to eCrater and having a heck of a time figuring out listing and formats.
I just had a message from a buyer saying she was interested in an item and it says the listing had ended.
I want to relist for her, but can't find anything. Old listing, where to relist or zilch. Help me please!!

Thanks, I just remembered that when I saw your post. She had googled it and the listing came up. It had also been on "eMafia". It had been sold there.
Thanks for your input.

I noticed this in one of your descriptions
"I realize shipping costs are much more than we want to pay, but keep in mind that eCRATER charges sellers 7.5% of shipping fees and I must pass that on."
that is wrong..ecrater takes none of the shipping fees

I had that in eBay listings. Obviously, I didn't get them all edited. I had nothing about eCrater taking a cut in any listing.. Do you remember which listing that was? I am having a hard time navigating on this site.

http://cw3070.ecrater.com/p/20666310/bubble-gum-pink-metal-table?keywords=pink also has that. You should go through all your listings and make categories

http://cw3070.ecrater.com/p/20666385/dept-56-pair-of-tall-red-glass has " I do combine shipping, however, by eCRATER's new seller policies, they must all be bought within 24 hours.' Not true here

This is the problem with a bulk upload. Every item needs to be looked at and corrected to fit Ecraters terms

"This is the problem with a bulk upload."

so true, almost better to start fresh.

I agree that until you have all this sorted out, your store should be on hold. I have yet to see a bulk upload come through where you don't have to put a lot of effort into fixing each and every listing one at a time. At that rate you might as well have listed them individually like most of us oldies had to do many years ago. I had to move over 5000 listings manually so it can be done Very Happy

. I only mention that since I've seen some newbies talk about how hard it will be to do this because they have 'so many listings' and they barely have a hundred.

Ecrater is great to sell on, but you do have to follow the rules as they do not hesitate to suspend someone that doesn't follow the rules. There is lots of info about doing whatever you have to do here in the forum and it might be worthwhile to spend some time reading some of the older posts. Just remember that unless you sell something in the main ecrater marketplace, ecrater charges no fees and there is no rule about how soon someone must pay, but I have found that most customers either pay immediately or not at all. And no there is no blocking mechanism and you aren't out any fees.

I just looked at your store and noticed another thing to be aware of. While you may know what NOS means, a casual buyer does not, or any of those abbreviations that sellers start to use to keep within character counts. With no limits to the characters in a description, there is no reason to use them and the buyer has a greater chance of understanding what you are selling.

Regarding your descriptions. What looks like a lengthy paragraph is actually one or two lines of descriptions and the rest is terms and conditions which do not belong on the item page. eCRATER has a terms and an about page for this information.
