I am really gettting annoyed with e Bay right now.

I am really gettting annoyed with e Bay right now.
They have put little defaults in your listings and when you list a bunch of cards and do not change them on each listing, you get pooched. You have to make sure you change the condition of your card to exactly what it is rather than what they put and that is always "acceptable". You also have to make sure you change all the shipping options or it will deafult to "local pick-up only". It just cost me over $100 on a really nice Patch Auto /10 I had listed because shipping was the "local pick up only" instead of my standard ships worlwide that I normally had in my templates. Moral of story is just make sure you spend the extra minute or two to make sure each listing is correct.

What program do use use to list your auctions? I use Turbo Lister and rarely have problems like you mentioned, unless they recently changed it.

RE: I am really gettting annoyed with e Bay right now.
I know this has nothing to do, but its a ***** about ebay. I've listed a paintball marker and it says i cannot sell any other place than canada. I've always checked the box to not list it where ebay is not listed, not to sell to people with 0 feedback, and so on.

So guess who bids up my marker? international people with 0 feedback. Thanks ebay. Thanks. Now its high to the point where i doubt anybody else will bid on it.

On a side note, does anybody know how to block people from bidding on your stuff?

I have had none of this happen to me. But I never use the simple form or start a new. I always go to an existing listing of mine and click on sell similar.

Who you trying to block-- there is a link to Block Bidder on your selling summary and you can also block countries that you do not ship to by creating an exclusions list.

FYI-- did you know that you can print international shipping labels out using Paypal shipping that have a customs form on it. Then all you have to do is drop them off. And the customs # shows up on Ebay as the tracking number even though it is only tracked to International dispatch.

How much does that cost per label? Cause I usually only pay around $3 per to ship at the post office, doing everything manually written out? Thanks for the heads up though

It is the same cost per label, but you do not have to wait at the PO for them to put in all the INFO.
