No longer using bold or gallery features

Posted May-17-08 10:57:38 PDT Updated May-17-08 12:37:24 PDT
I used to think the Gallery option was an automatic add for .35 and used it alot. As well as the Bold on many, but not all listings.

I've come to realize analyzing my sales that both options don't really make a difference in what I sell. The auction end price is the same. And the above two features for me anyway are are not necessary. If anything, they were just a waste and cost expense in extra value fees.

The same goes for the second category feature, which I've used a few times. It really didn't make a difference for me.

Maybe it's because I mostly deal in comics, action figures, or games that the buyers in those markets when they browse for items, they are so used to regular listings. That the extra features on a listing do not gain their attention.

Have you ever used Auctiva? You can get borders,more pictures,etc. on your listings free when you list your ebay items through them.

Hi,

Thanks for writing. :-)

I've seen them used and honestly Don't Like the layout and design look of it. Plus the slight delay in loading time is annoying.

I kind of like how my store looks with the red color bars on the side.

I've seen another border type program, forgot where but it was an extra monthly charge. Something I'd rather avoid.
