...yeah, right.
Just spent about 35 ninutes typing out a perfect ad description, submitted it, and the fuckers sent me a red message to fill in the item description....aaaaaaaahhh!
Went back- nothing
Went forward- nothing
All me hard work bleedin' lost.
Tossers!!!!
















Or I may have pressed a wrong button somewhere?

type in to a document then copy/paste into description, especially if it is large description.

They seem to be making it easier not to find what you're after.

I hate that too. What is pissing me off at the moment though is the fact that you can't charge postage in some categories? WTF? I have to post it - so how do I charge postage?

Include it in the overall price. I think this was brought in to stop people selling stuff relatively cheaply on Buy It Now, etc, and then adding insane P&P charges.

factor it in to the minimum asking price.

It certainly has had an inpact on games and cds etc.People don't see it worth while now.It is a joke.It's all about pumping money into Ebay as they take a bigger cut on the end price.

A more likely explanation is that Ebay now get commission on the amount of the item plus any costs for postage that you might add into the price whereas before they got nothing for the P&P, or am I just being cynical.

Also, they're in competition with the likes of Amazon for example, who now charge nothing or very little for P+P, and who are sometimes cheaper than eBay...

eBay does seem to have got a bit cluttered lately and could do with a bit of streamlining IMO...
