Ebay Question

[iholmes297]

Does anyone know if there is a way to respond to messages i get on ebay automatically? With a pre written response?

[Vampyros]

I don't think there is a way inside ebay itsself but try one of the ebay related software packages i know that they do all sorts like bid for u at the last second they may also reply for you. Try searching on google for them.

you should be able to use an autoresponder if you get your ebay mail sent to an external email account

[iholmes297]

I want to do it without just using the autoresponder in my email account though, the purpose is to stop all of the messages going to email in the first place.

[Vampyros]

i know how you feel i use my dads ebay account and he gets 160 odd messages a day and is getting quite annoyed with it.

[iholmes297]

Yeah its basically the same problem, its my mums account and she doesnt like all the crap coming in.

I did find one program, but its designed for businesses and isn't really what I am looking for, although it does have that feature, there is a lot more that unnecessary.

[Stigmatized]

So your parents don't get emails, just direct the emails to your email address, that's what I did.

[iholmes297]

They still need to get the emails about everything they are buying though, that is the problem.

[Vampyros]

yes i have the same problem i was going to direct it to my address but my dad still wants all his notifications going to his and etc.. he just doesn't want all the crap which completely spams his inbox up.
I now tell users on my listing to email my email address instead of asking a question, it reduces the bulk by alot.

[iholmes297]

I have emailed asking ebay if it can be done, so we should get a definitive answer soon.

Anyone know how long they take to reply?

[drunfola]

lol they will probs ban u, they love it at the min, even banned me then again i was breaking there t's and c's lol

They should reply within 24 hours. I emaiiled them few weeks ago, and got a reply back witin 24 hours.

it can be done if you splash out for a pro sellers account, costs around £5 a month, much better to follow your listings, set up automated listing etc.

[Bazza]

If the response to emails is anything like paypals i wouldnt hope for much, i sent an email about once i was scammed £11, i got a reply with all the detailed crap that has no relevance to my question, and when i replied about 5 TIMES i got a different person replying with the same thing in different words, it was so dam annoying.

I hope google open up an auction site!

[Vampyros]

Yes i got scammed out of about £55 and emailed them constantly and nothing was done until finally after about 20 days or somthing they said there is nothing they can do because it has gone past 20 days, which is complete bull****.

[bmh16]

Thought i found something that worked, but i was wrong

[Diekund]

why not get your own ebay account?

[iholmes297]

I want to keep the feedback etc.

[bmh16]

Just buy loads of 1p ebooks to get your feedback to 10!, then take it from there!

Ben

[iholmes297]

That is a plan, but then people look at your feedback, realise its all 1p ebook and refuse to have anything to do with you.
