Default Low Bids on your eBay Listings....? This may be why..

FYI eBay listings have been a total shamble of late. In particular, the pictures.
My listings were fine at preview, and even at showing stage. However, shortly after all the photos disappeared (I use html so picture links...)

I was wondering why I had very low interest in my items etc and etc

It turns out, the pictures on my listings finally showed up HALF AN HOUR before listings ended. Plus, they took about 4 days to resolve my prev listing issues (listings didnt show up until I contacted them 4 days later...)

Apparently they are having issues with Safari, so if you are using it you might like to switch to Mozzilla, and perhaps use their pictures option for now as oppose to using picture links.

Your personal opinion, I respect that. As for me, I need Mac for the purpose of graphics and photo editing so it rocks!

What would browser you use have to do with you hosting your own pics and using html? I'm a bit confused as to what you are saying. But I host all my own pics so I am curious as to what problem you are having.

Do you mean safari wont show ebay listings correct? safari is at 5% or less use out there I think so if thats the case it would hardly crash sales

Please clarify your issue. Thanks

Nadia, if you are having issues with Safari, I highly suggest you preview everything on FireFox.

Safari is somewhat known to me as being a little different than the typical IE or Firefox browser and this it doesn't really qualify for a "preview" of important subject.

In terms of eB, they are what they are. Gotta learn to work with what they have or around it a little so things work better for you.
If you have the guts to call them, ask for a credit back.

Thanks all :D
Pod and Saijin, yep correct. I have installed Firefox works much better and less pop ups.
Pod, re browser.. apparently if you list using safari to list, or if you are a buyer viewing a listing using safari you may not see the pictures.. Just a box and a cross in it. I also host my own pics on an online web but its the browser we use that may affect the pictures. Some functions also don't work when listing using safari, for example, the 'choose your methods of selling' option, the pop up window would load but nothing will happen.

Thanks Saijin re asking for credit back, I think I better be quiet and lay low instead of having Mr EB being upset I think... :S

Yeah, I would switch over and then use uploaded photos. That may be the problem.
