hell no.. i never use aol for anything else but their web browser, only cuz it shows different ip each time.

so does that mean that we should always respond to questions in ebay my messages only?

O.. and DON"T click on that display images.. especially the ALWAYS DISPLAY IMAGES FROM... cuz there is no way to turn it off again f you go always display. kinda sucks..

Should EB email and PP email be kept seperate?
 

Just a thought.. since some people are saying that they have their PP account limited, after their EB account is naru'ed, and that 2 is not linked.. how about using a different email for accepting PP payments, and another for EB communication emails etc? what do you think?

LINKED!! Buyer will put auction number in the invoice. Wham Bam got you sucka

Huh? I think I missed something..

If we wouldn't use PP for EB who would use it for anything...after everything that we know from this site?

so modee how do you pay your seller fees?

aspkin do you take paypal thru ebay checkout?

the only reason to use paypal is it's easier for the buyers, or so they think. other than for ebay, who would ever need paypal?

lol good one modee. I guess some of us, me also are still need the pacifier >,< lol

I did that out of sheer accident and ebay eventually will ask you to change emails so they are the same, or they won't let you list.

The only thing I worry about with not using paypal is that sales volume will decline, especially if you're talking about lower end items. Has anyone found this to be true?

You know I was thinking...one thing you could do to help cut down on the Paypal pacifier complainers is to provide a link to one of the many articles out there dispelling the greatness of Paypal in your listings. Or maybe even--for the daring--a direct link to PaypalSucks. Though I'm not sure if ebay would view that as libel or not and either take you down off their site or threaten legal action for it. But it's not providing a link to your own website and it would be kind of funny if it works. Heck, you might even take out one of their classified ads!

Has anyone tried it, and was the listing removed?

Modee, forgive me for not reading every little single post. I don't live here ya know. :)
With everything I have to keep track of, I think I happen to do pretty well.

Although if memory serves, I think you did mention that in passing, but never specified if it was in the listing or by email.

So...brace yourself here's another question...which is it?

Weird?? Email
 

Something weird is going on. I inserted my email in my listings but when I or the buyers click on it it goes to and shows a totally different email address in outlook????????????????????

never mind I know now.. haha
and their email was in it and change the email name to my email name but the html code links back to the original email address of the auction I copied....



Geez I *ucked up big time. hope

I Know It's Been Said Before, But Don't Open Email From Suspended Accounts
 

It Is Bad! There is stuff in all ebay email that tracks and puts cookies on your computer. Be careful!!

How To Answer Ebay Email And Stay Online
 

I think this is an important point to be reminded of as we can get complacent.


I really think that is why I had a bunch of names suspended. Every week in November I started to loose accounts every week. I think what happened was I Opened an email from a suspended account, then I read email from some other accounts and all the subsequent accounts from which I read emails were suspended. The last time I lost accounts was 10 days ago.

Now I have a new anal retentive process to answer email and I have stayed online.

Now I don't even open email from the regular accounts because I am convinced ALL EMAIL from ebay contains stuff.

So what do I do? Download all of the email into outlook express,(disconnect my internet connection) DO NOT HAVE THE MESSAGE PREVIEW PANE ACTIVE., read them by mousing over the email subject and right-clicking properties and "view message source" Then the html code window appears and you can read it that way without "opening it" Then delete it.

After I'm done, JUST IN CASE, I Clean the computer with ccleaner and system mechanic, reboot. Reconnect, purge/delete. I compose brand new emails for my replies.

Yes, this adds hours every week onto the email, but it's better than getting knocked off.

I felt it was safe to post this in front of the Ebay spies since nothing exists that can bypass THAT function.

LOL why did you edit the whole post like that?

because I got cold feet and i didn't want people mad at me for posting too much info in public

the rest of it was the post I repeated in the member's section.

Oh, I see now.. took me a while to notice those were 2 different posts. :o

Well, I've always noticed there is a connection between eBay emails and linking of accounts. Some users use GMAIL for just this reason.

The way eBay tracks you is by embedding one pixel tracking images. Gmail disables all images automatically when you're reading. So reading eBay emails from Gmail won't link your accounts while you're online.

Others use the Outlook method doing what you do. That work as well.

Also reading emails at libraries, cyber cafes, etc. Any other computer then yours works as well.

Simply don't read suspended eBay emails on a computer linked to your eBay account and you should be okay.

Gmail is the best option though.

Can PP link if I delete email addresses?
 

I set a new ebay account but I only have one Paypal account, a verified business account, ive had for 3+ years. I thought I could list w/o PP (using Auctiva) but EB is requiring a PP account to list. It said I have no EB accounts linked to PP but if I add my new email and delete all my old emails from my PP profile will I still get linked?

Most likely.

what if I entered the email address but used Paypal invoice and not ebay checkout? I guess what im asking is...do they link the accounts after you list or after the item is paid for?
Also I tried putting in a email I have that is not associated with PP and it came back "email is invalid"
