I've had nothing at all, no welcome email no nothing. I was beginning to think I imagined it all, but when I check my seller preferences all the permissions are in there so it must be OK.

My sales have picked up this afternoon though, but I have also got a dreaded 'I haven't got my item' email-

You should get several emails, one of which gives you a log in to your dashboard where you can decide which listings to put out there, see how much you have sold etc

I'll leave it a bit longer and maybe give them a call when I get back next week.

Well I gave them a call and they say it looks like I accepted the invite then ebay forgot me, I told you they hated me!

The CS guy has emailed the correct department and has asked them to sort out why my invite and acceptance has not been actioned.

Not a very good start! I hope it goes smoothly from now on!

Apparently there was an error which ebay could not fix (there's a surprise) so they sent me a new invite last week which I accepted again.

This time it worked and my listings are being translated. Odd thing is though since then I haven't had a single European sale, when I would normally expect a couple a day at least. My UK sales though are rocketing.

Strange days

My sales are great too, must be pay-day?!

Would be interested to know what you think of the translations when your listings are live. They say that the titles are translated by humans but some of the errors they made were ridiculous.
For example one of my listings has lights - this was translated as 'clair' in French which is a light colour not a bulb light!

One month into the programme and have been offered an upgrade, for a small fee! so not so free after all! Watch this space...

I haven't checked my translations- but then I haven't had a single European sale for days. Who stole my European buyers :eek:

Webinterpret and I have parted ways.

I was not happy with the translations of my items. I did not like not being in total control of all my listings.

On top of that I received a £50 invoice last week despite agreeing that any fees would be pushed onto the buyers side, so I just can't trust these people. They say one thing and do another!

So I revoked 3rd party authorisation in Ebay and deleted all their listings. However I did not realise that they also had authorisation to debit my Paypal account, which they did last night, have revoked that as well. I had every intention of paying my invoice, but manually!

My advice: avoid them like the plague!

I have not regretted pulling out within the first few weeks of starting with them, like you I prefer to be in control.

They didn't even argue when I finally managed to break free from them, although I have had two follow up calls since trying to sell me a paid for package as I am doing so well on the trial!
