    Is anyone else having problems getting on ebay this morning?
    I keep getting the page flash up briefly, then it goes blank.

    It might be Friday morning maintenance. I'm not having any issues though which is lucky as I've loads to wrap.

    AS for ebay, they have obviously switched me back on again, I'm selling like crazy once more.

    I wish they'd do the same for me ! Have fiddled with listings, taken some off & re-wrote them to put back on as new. Sales have been poor for ages now :(

    Anyone got problems with being invisible?
    Yesterday I was looking through some listings similar to stuff I sell. I looked in all matching shops. I estimated ( by the amount I have for sale compared with other shops), that I should be on page 3 of matching shop. I looked through 10 pages and still can't find my shop. So frustrating!

    It's now 2.45 and I'm still getting the same thing. Seems Friday morning maintenance is stretching longer and longer......

    Lucky you. One sale today and I have just limped to 100 items sold this month :(

    Care to name this "high end replacement tablet with accessories"
    Sounds like it could be a tablet similar to a Microsoft Surface / Surface Pro to me.

    I wonder if the people that make up the defect systems have actually used ebay to buy and sell?

    Score between 1 star and 5 stars where the average is 4.8? Whose calculator came up with that one?

    A buyer asking a simple question of when was it posted so they have a clue what day the item may arrive gives a seller a defect?
    Sounds like eBay's now being run by people like Pat Robertson...

    The lack of common sense and logic is staggering! :D

    I may have spoken too soon, 22 items yesterday, 3 so far today- this is so very odd.

    However, in fairness, I am running out of my popular stock as I just hadn't bothered ordering more whilst sales had been poor, so I am just sorting that out now.
