RMweb Premium SteveyDee68 Posted November 17, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2022 A while ago… okay, it was January of this year … I kindly informed a seller that autocorrect had mangled their item listing from “carriages” to “cartridges” and that if they want to sell their items it might be worth correcting the listing. They never responded… A few days ago, I stumbled across the exact same listing, obviously auto-renewed by eBay and still incorrectly called “cartridges”… I’ve written again, politely pointing out that if they corrected their listing perhaps they would have sold them by now and wouldn’t have me writing to them again! Of course, still no reply. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if eBay had a time limit on listings, so that they only “renew” for up to say three months before being automatically deleted? That way, new sellers wouldn’t stumble across Go$turd’s perpetually renewing and hideously overpriced listings and use them as the benchmark for pricing up their own items. Win-win, surely?
