eBay

We have a main email address for everything with our company and have certain emails forwarded to our ebay person based on key words in the subject.

For a long time, I could just use the words "sold" "offer" "ended" "question about", "relist"

But I just got an email today that "XXXXXX... didn’t sell at $159.99. Let’s give it another try."

I thought it was a "offer expired" email and just about deleted it, and decided to open it and found I needed to relist the item.

Anyone else annoyed by this?

No not that particularly but I don’t need the multiple daily emails telling me they found items that they just know I’d love and not one is anything near what I’ve bought or searched for. The “your item has a bid”was kind of annoying at first. My issue with these is why they’re taking the time to send worthless emails, they could be focusing on the real issues they’re having. N for the love of Buddha STOP with the changes reminiscent of the river! U two are totally different platforms. In fact, I remember the days when ebay was a power player and the river was a little guy. You cannot and should not compete

Sure, me too.

I need email subjects and/or from addresses to stay static for internal email filtering and sorting.

Having said that, and now that we've shown eBay we are annoyed......... They don't care if the two of us squeak - only if billion and billions of users complain or it gets serious media attention.

They change things because some eBay people are tweaking things to appeal to demographic ____________ (fill in the blank), and that it will result in mo money for eBay somehow. They never seem to get that they alienate a lot of people with these stupid changes, that constant change isn't always for the better, but would have to assume they have numbers showing we are a minority and that the money lies thataway (or they don't have numbers and are as disorganized and __________ as I'm beginning to suspect.)

I find it infuriating. I use the subject line to identify the items that need relisting. They've cut off so much of the listing title that now I have to go into the actual email to see which item it is. They've replaced the information I need with the useless verbiage "Let’s give it another try." How annoying!

I know what you mean; items chosen especially for me and they are nothing I would even remotely even consider thinking of buying.
