I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to handle this situation.  The last two items I sold, one May 14, and one May 17, have not been paid for yet and the bidders have not responded in any way.  I'm new here and up until now, my auctions have been paid for within a few hours.  Therefore, I'm wondering if there is something wrong somewhere.  What is the best way to handle this?  I've sent a second invoice to the May 14 winner.  No responce... how long do you wait before taking some kind of action?  If PayPal is the problems, how would you know?

Thank you for any info...

I have an Etsy web page and I would love to be able to tell my auction viewers about it.  Is that against the rules?  I'm sure eBay addresses this topic somewhere, but I've not come across anything telling me one way or the other about advertising other web pages within auction pages. 

Thank  you for any insight...

A friend of mine told me that there is a way to keep the "buy now" button up on an auction, even after you have received a bid.  Is this true?  The listing info I've read (while filling out my auction) states that this button goes away after someone has placed the first bid.  Is there a way to keep it even after there are bids on your item???

Thank you for any info,

I've been wanting to dive into the world of eBay selling for a long time.  I can't believe I finally did it!  I know I'm new and I need to make lots of mistakes before things start looking up.  I've got a lot to learn about how to get my items notices.  I seemed to have a good run the first week, with 3 items selling, but my latest 2 items are just sitting there with no attention at all.  If anyone has any words of wisdom for me I would be forever grateful.  One of my buyers, sathya7, has been a stupendously helpful ray of light.   I wish you all well.

Sincerely,

Gina
