jahfish Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 ok, that was the last time ... i listed 124 items ... - only 43 items appear in the listing when you click "view sellers other items" http://shop.ebay.de/merchant/bouncibaer_W0...QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ - over 40 of those were Atari items and only 2 appear in the listings under atari only if you first click on "other items" and then go to text mode, you will see all of the games ... http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewLi...erid=bouncibaer what a crap! what the hell is ebay doing?!?!?!? how is the stuff supposed to sell if it doesn't appear properly in the listings?!?!? that was defenitely the last time i will have used ebay!!!! CTCW, i'm coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yeah, eBay has been screwing with the search for a while now. Frankly, as a programmer myself and having worked on several large systems (although nothing quite as large as eBay), it amazes me that with as much cash as eBay has coming in that they cannot get something as important as their SEARCH ENGINE to produce accurate results. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnidog Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I agree with you..their Search Engine blows... I was thinking of listing some of my rare old sample license plates on Ebay, but maybe I`ll list them on Vandazzle...maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 i think their search engine works ... but just not for the sellers ... it works for them, sorting out between professionals and private sellers. i've heard that they slowly want to get rid of the private ones ... private people will probably end up on kijiji, which they also bought ... well, whatever they do, my next videogames end up on CTCW ... and i'll try to promote it here as much as i can ... time for the PAL side to join CTCW!

Marc Oberhäuser Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 First link shows 43 items for me, the second 124, so it is not just for the seller... i think their search engine works ... but just not for the sellers ... it works for them, sorting out between professionals and private sellers. i've heard that they slowly want to get rid of the private ones ... private people will probably end up on kijiji, which they also bought ... well, whatever they do, my next videogames end up on CTCW ... and i'll try to promote it here as much as i can ... time for the PAL side to join CTCW!

kroogur Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 hello,what is ctcw ? are there any ebay alternatives ? ctcw is Chase the Chuckwagon which is an incredible alternative to ebay much easier to use and deal with. And yes Chase the Chuckwagon is a great alternative to ebay. a link: http://www.chasethechuckwagon.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coze Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 voila ! Chase the chuckwagon seems great, though it looks more gaming oriented. It would be great if they hosted more hardware. (well that is up to users to post iems I guess) many thanks. I'm an amiga user myself, we're also getting tired of ebay BS. In fact we started our own dealing place, Amibay. Have a look if you're interested. http://www.amibay.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 someone jsut posted that they have gotten a huge lot of Amiga stuff and it's to be sold at vintage-computer. The lot is located in Florida and apparently it is two or three trailers full of stuff from a collector's passing. May want to go check it out.

coze Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) thank you, myself, I'm not in the states, but I know a guy in florida who might be interested. I just forwarded him the link. yes, amibay is mostly based in UK, but there are members in every part of the planet, I'm in Japan, there are some members in Brasil, Australia, different parts of Europe, etc ... We have Atari and other parts setup too, but not much users there at the moment :*( Edited December 12, 2008 by coze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Charlie Cat Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi guys, I'm already piss off at Ebay for eliminating the Check/Money Order option to pay sellers for purchasing products!! That's the form of payment i've been using since I joined. But they still allow it till 01/15/09. Even after this date, you can only ask sellers if they accept money orders, but sellers can't mention it on the auctions as a form of a payment after this date. The hell with Ebay, I'm still going to ask and request money orders for auctions as a payment form. Anthony.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Same here. Of course, it was years ago, and I've only ever sold once on ebay. My future listings will be one CTCW. I've read all the BS you guys have gone through and I don't want any part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
