eBay

I wanted to set this up as a poll to see how many other sellers found these to be stupid and annoying, but apparently THAT feature is gone now. Ebay clearly does not give a **bleep** what its sellers think!

Recently, ebay decided that ONE your item has ended email is not enough.. they decided we needed the regular one AND Relisting (fill in the blank) is easy as ➊➋➌ emails. This is unneeded DUPLICATION that clogs up our mail box with HUNDREDS of pointless emails we have to delete daily.

Who thought this would be a good idea? I personally find it VERY ANNOYING and I cannot seem to reach any intelligent life at ebay who can comprehend why I want these to stop or how to accomplish ending these.

What are your thoughts?

@debk255 Can't you go in to Communication Preferences - Seller - Seller Activity - Listing confirmed and change it to None or in my case Monthly Digest? I do NOT get any of those emails you mentioned ...

Have you looked through your own account settings to find if/how to stop these emails?

If not, it's a bit premature to complain about lack of intelligent life at eBay. Since they do provide the tools to do what you want. And it's not that hard to find. If you look.

I get those emails on one of my accounts but not the others. I will have to check my settings. The emails make for a lot of clutter.

Those easy-as-1-2-3 messages remind me of the story of the math professor who talked super fast and wouldn't use the board or overhead or mylar scrolling projectors etc etc and his students were having a dickens of a time following his lectures.

One day a little delegation went to him after class and asked him if PLEASE oh PLEASE! could he write down his formulas and proofs etc while he was lecturing. Oh SURE, he promised. Happy to do so.

So next lecture started and he was off and running. Talk talk talk. No writing. Talk talk talk. Nothing visual. Then suddenly, in the middle of his detailed explanation of how you prove that the square root of 3 is a transcendental number he remembers his promise and stops in mid sentence.

Really! He says. Picking up the board marker and starting to write. It's as easy as 1 + 2 = 3 and went on talking.

1 + 2 = 3

THIS SPACE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK

I have looked, but haven't found any setting to stop them yet. I have never had my preferences to receive emails when items don't sell, and I still have it set that way. These emails are new and are quite annoying. They have suggestions as to what to do and how to price & then relist one at a time.

One of my IDs is getting them and the other isn't yet.

Set up a filter and have them trashed automatically.

Do you have "Listing Improvement Recommendations" turned off? It's one of the few that I have turned off and I never get notices to relist or notices to reduce price or notices to tweak listings in any way.

Yes, it is turned off.

OK so I just had a bunch of listings end, along with the Fixed Price Listing Has Eneded messages I received the Relist messages. Not a major issue, just select the relist ones and delete or in my case move to my "Incoming eBay" folder, only takes a couple of seconds.

I'm thinking if you turn off the Listing Ended messages that might turn off the Relist messages as well.

No, I already have that turned off and do not receive those emails.

to turn of those notification would turn off ALL email notifications... which is not something I wish to do. I simply want to end the DUPLICATION of notifications. I know full well that when something ends I can relist it, as well as how to do so. Your response was as annoying and worthless as the duplicate emails themselves.

debk255 · ‎02-12-2018

exactly... and I WANT to know when listings end. I just need to skip the duplication

berserkerplanet · ‎02-12-2018

I had a few ideas, but you would probably find them annoying....

I hate both the relisting e-mail and the you've been paid e-mail. I'd like to turn them both off, but I want some of the notifications. Why can't eBay combine the ended e-mail with a you can relist suggestion?
