Huge traffic spike on October 2nd and great sales that weekend, then slow ever since?

Did anyone else have a massive traffic spike on 10/2? I went from the normal 5k to over 20k listing impressions that day, with a similar surge in sales 10/2-10/4. I also had a lot more outside traffic (10x) on 10/3 than I have ever had. What gives? D...

Ebay gone rogue! Automatic relisting? Automatic Best Offer Decline Price?

Why, oh why, ebay are you messing with my head? I was just about to complete my listing tonight and I saw that the box for auto relisting was selected. The one that says it will auto relist up to 8 times! I know I didn't select this option because th...

Free Shipping being added to my listed items that aren't free shipping

What's up with these expanding pop up ads?

So who's brain child is this latest space wasting, page disrupting, expanding pop up ad campaign? Time for a good pop up blocker program ... wonder if it will work on the site for the ads but not block the pop up they have with the new label printing...

USPS Shoe boxes and packing

If anyone uses the USPS Priority Mail shoe boxes to ship shoes, do you use any additional packing for the shoes? I only use these boxes when I don't have a shoebox to ship in (then I double box) so I'm wondering what other packaging can I use to help...

Spent an Hour with an EBay Autocomplete Selling Error
