I signed up for the free 7 days in the past then cancelled it.

I didn't like that I couldn't do searches for a year worth of data at once, I had to do it month by month to try to find the item I'm looking for.

Do you know if it's compatible with SMF 2.0.7?

Cool forum by the way. Now I know where to turn to when I have a question about PHP.

I don't see why it wouldn't be, I know the majority of the PHP Helpers on the site uses that. Because people donate $$ to them sometimes when they help out and answer questions, so they are eager to answer questions.  I coded in a paypal donation button that people set up in their profile, so it displays in their forum posts.

It was a way to keep users engaged and helping one another, because they might get a donation.

Give it a try, just back up your code, make the changes and see what happens.

That's ironic that you mentioned that. As of this morning, our (the forum moderators) new objective is to leave no post unanswered. Charli, is in the process of cleaning up all unanswered posts. She used to manage a high traffic forum and I'm optimistic that she can bring some fresh ideas and new life to the forum.

You should install this mod to make it easier

I originally requested it then modified and tested it. You can see it working on my forum in the top left. ** You will need to create an account to see it working **

eBay / Selling Limits..
« on: March 11, 2014, 09:47:10 PM »
I just got this message from ebay, I guess I been banking a little too much on ebay. Now I can only sell 1.2 million or 12,000 transactions a year worth of merchandise. That sucks, because I have a lot to sell.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This message is to notify you that in order to assist you in building a strong foundation for future transactions on eBay, we have placed a selling limit for your listing activity. These limits are not in place as a consequence, rather as a preventative measure to help our seller's keep from becoming overwhelmed with large increases in account activity. 
 
Many members already have limits placed on their account. Account limits allow us to learn about your selling activity and make sure you're adhering to our selling practices policy and performance standards. Limits vary by seller and can change over time.
 
During this time, we want to confirm you are continuing your positive history by ensuring you are keeping focused on creating great transactions for your customers. Doing so will greatly increase the chances of an ongoing successful eBay business and help to avoid any future account issues that may arise. These limits will allow you to continue selling while also allowing us to monitor your incoming Feedback, Detailed Seller Ratings, and any customer complaints. Please understand that the actions we have taken do not mean your account performance is not good, but we do this to help all eBay sellers further improve their selling history and account performance.
 
Because you are doing well at selling at these volumes, you should not hit your selling limit unless you dramatically increase your sales. However, if you do wish to grow your business, we will gradually increase your limit as you show that you are able to successfully handle the higher sales volume. The selling limit on your account is based on the number and dollar amount of open (active) items and successfully sold items per calendar month.
 
You can now sell up to 1,000 items monthly or up to $100,000.00 monthly.  (Keep in mind that this includes multiple quantity listings which can greatly influence this number.)
 
If you do reach one of these amounts during the course of a month you will be unable to list additional items or increase the price or quantity of your active items until some of your items end without a winning bidder or until the 1st of the next calendar month, (If you are still exceeding the selling limit at the first of the next calendar month your selling activity will continue to be blocked.)
 
We believe that your limit is flexible enough to allow you to sell any current items and is in accordance with the volume you may have listed in the past. If you do reach the selling limit on your account and want to increase your sales, please work within the amount for at least 30 days. Once that time frame has expired on April 11, 2014, please reply to this message and we will conduct a review to see if adjustments are appropriate.
 
We hope that you will use this selling limit to your advantage and focus on succeeding with your current sales. We value you as a seller and hope to work with you in order to continue to establish a strong selling history and successful business relationship. It is in our best interest to help our sellers succeed so that we can have a positive trading environment and eliminate bad buying experiences on the site.

I think a lot of people list items "for parts or not working." for items that actually work and function fine. I know I have done it. Sometimes I don't have the means to test something, like a router or a network switch and will sell it "for parts not working", so it leaves the buyer no re-course to return the item if it doesn't work.

I'll also state that in the description, "I don't have the ability or know-how to test this item properly, chances are theirs nothing wrong with it." But, I'm selling it "for parts or not working", because I'm unable to test it.

I didn't have it before the changes and I only really make money from myself on it. I really haven't found a good substitute for adsense.

I use it on my sports forum - You can target ads from certain categories and keywords, so it fits the theme of your websites..

The 1 day cookie is stupid, but if you place a bid in that day and win it 7 days later you still get credit for it.  Also I think your 1 day cookie is overridden, if you click the EPN from a different site like Google.

If you know some heavy ebay shoppers that are friends they can generate $$ for you.

Maybe like 250 or 300..

It's hard to say, if you list something for $10 and it sells for $90, it's worth $90. It all depends on who's looking for the item in that 7 day auction window.

I listed auctions for shoes at $79.99, didn't sell, 7 days expired, re-listed them at $99 buy it now for 30 days and the next day it sells at $99, 20% more.  That's not to say, I could of listed it at $129.99 and it might of sold at that price too. It's all about the right buyer seeing the item for sale at the right time.  In the case of auctions, you need 2 of the right buyers seeing the item, in that 7 day time window.  Obscure, Items it's tricky to get those 2 right buyers, so if you know the worth of an item approximately, you can start that auction off where it should start and hope for the best.

Now items, like iphones, silver bars, etc.  You can put those on a 1 day auction and you'll get a decent price for them, just because a large number of people are looking for them.

But a Ming Dynasty pillow made during the eleventh emperor's rule in the 1500's, like this guy is selling for $130.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/321323369026?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

No one bought it? Now I'm assuming, the guy doesn't know Chinese, because if he knew how to read, he would of wrote a better description for it.  And B, what type of value do you place on this item? I have no clue. The only reason I seen this is because I have the same item but made during the 5th emperor's rule, dated from 1425 to 1435.

Is his 500 year old Ming Pillow worthless because it didn't sell? I don't know and is the 600 year old one I have worthless too? I don't know, I would like to think it's worth a lot more then $130.

That's something that worth point might be able to tell you.  But I have a feeling i'm going to need to seek out a person that specialize in the Ming Dynasty period to get a number from.

Ok, now it shows me as winning all 3 auctions and I got the winning bid emails. The glitch probably saved me a couple of hundred.

I called SB, I gave them the auction #'s of the ones I won, They are going to send out emails to the facility and me letting them know. 

vanillagorilla, if I was you you should call them also, and give them the auction # of the one with the car parts so they can send out the confirmation so you can pick up your items.

I called the storage facility, they said they are in emails with SB and they have no clue either, they haven't been notified of the winners.
