eBay email preferences ignored - users flooded with mail

by Chris Dawson

eBay sellers are complaining that although their preferences are set not to receive End Of Item emails they’re being sent regardless. It’s especially bad for those selling in the technology categories as they’re getting flooded with hundreds of emails due to taking advantage of the 1p listing promotion running between 1st and 15th July.

It’s especially annoying for sellers who check their emails on mobile devices, with one complaining “I think me blackberry’s about to catch fire“.

    Yep, i think eBay is trying to make everyone realise the ammount of money they are throwing away for no return !
    Either that or they think the other site glitches such as the SYI form etc arent annoying enough.

    I use TL for nearly all my listings (except for the odd relist that I do on-site) - what is still wrong with the SYI form Clarky?

    Look on the brightside, they only cost you a penny each Chris. You Jammy Techy so & so.
