This is my description
Seller's comments[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1]
Slight wear to cover, and a few pages turned at corner. UK seller


Any ideas why the listing might have been closed?

I've read before on the Amazon Seller Connection board that if you have .UK in your description that can cause this to happen. Probably because it's an 'automated' 'seek and destroy' programme.

Me too - it's the dot UK that causes the problem.

Can I ask, How do you get feedback? I've sold quite a lot of things over the past 3 weeks but not a single bit of feedback received?

Hi AT

Sounds like you've had a great time

I've not tried this myself, but howabout taking your donation to one shop and offer to take any old stock off their hands for 'recycling' - it will save them a trip to wherever they usually dispose of their books - 'cos you sound like you need some extra stock :rotfl:

Oh dear, too late, I've already taken them. I could have had a banana box coffee table for every room (including the bathroom)...oh well maybe next time.....

That's odd because I write my descriptions with dots between the statements like ....smoke free home...UK seller...and never had one pulled

It's a theory that was discussed 'over there' at length. It seemed to happen when sellers either relisted or reactivated after the holiday setting. But if you are newly listing in that format - maybe that's not the problem - back to the drawing board :question:

It's some of my older listings that are set out like that, my newer ones have UK seller at the start of the description to catch the eye straight off, when I had it near the end you didn't see it unless you clicked onto the book. The next one I list I'll try .....uk seller and see what happens

oooooh I am sooooo chilled....

as well as the 13 boxes of books I bought a huge tray of CDs too, it was the collections of 2 people I think as there was lots of club mix Ibiza stuff with lots of misspelled words in the titles like 'wanna' and 'gotcha' and 'dontcha' - but on the other hand there were about 40 CDs that are relaxation ones with sounds of nature like birds, cows mooing and waterfalls with titles like 'bathtime bliss' and 'dream surf'..can you guess that I've been listening to a babbling brook with birdsong in the background while I've been doing my ebay photos?....I'm all floloppy now....
