How does THIS help sellers SELL ?!? >> Help answer a question from the eBay community

[cynthealee2]

I woke up this afternoon to TWELVE questions about items in my store... guy wants to buy all 6 of the purple variations left up in my store... Wanted to know what my lowest price was with free shipping.

I think WHOO WOOOO SALE!!!!! and I can get rid of 6 more of these figures.

Till I wake up a bit more... and realize I have NO WAY, none what so ever of talking to THAT buyer.

The stupid email I got was sent to EVERY seller of THAT particular item because of the "ask question" on the PRODUCT page. The email does NOT contain the buyers name anywhere so I can sent a message through eBay's system, and I'm quite sure that my ANSWER to his questions are going to go into the clouds as well. (ROFL bet half those sellers are trying to figure out what "purple" the buyer was talking about. )

ALLLLLLLL because eBay thought it was a BRILLIANT idea to put a Q and A on the PRODUCT page and NOT telling the buyers what it was for, how it worked, or that their questions would not go to an INDIVIDUAL seller that could actually work with them to buy the items they are looking for.

Those questions the buyers ask go into the clouds (cause I can't find where they post either on the product page OR in the Q&A section of community), the answers I send back on them go into the clouds cause they never get "approved" and posted on the product page (or in the boards).

What was the POINT eBay????? to tick off the buyers AND the sellers all in one go?

Cause I know that buyer is ticked I have ignored his TWELVE questions sent to me discussing the various figures and the purple variations over a 3 hour time span.

Last Email from the "buyer":

An eBay member has a question for you.

A buyer is interested in the product you’re selling but they have a question. Can you help them out?

The question:

“Hi checked out your store you have 6 different purple variants 2 anakins # 2 & # 28, agen kolar # 20, bail organa # 15, Chewbacca # 5, chancellor palpatine # 14 what price can you give if I buy all 6 purples with free shipping.?”

Without a NAME of the buyer or a way to contact the individual seller from the product page what in hades was the point in putting the Q & A on the PRODUCT page!!!!!

Do I need to put a blurb in bright red at the top of my listings "Do NOT try and contact the seller from the product page, we will not be able to respond to you, please contact me through eBay messages instead".

PS you guys can @ who ever you want to or THINK is at least going to listen. I'll start the ball rolling

PS come to think of it... that could be why NOTHING I can touch or mess with is connected to ANY of the other comps in the house... but all theirs can talk to each other...

Or when an invoice or purchase order would auto populate from the document before it? LOL

One more and I'm done hijacking the thread LOL

My favorite "good idea" that proved otherwise in testing ... auto populate the Expense Department Account Code using the ID of the user entering the Expense report.

The Finance Deparment heads would not have appreciated the resulting budget strain LOL.
