Ebay strangeness

The eBay email system has a mind of its own, and apart from the emails from set up standing searches (which is pretty handy) is usually less than useful. Many a 'you've been out bid' email comes well after the auction ends. I've even had reminders for items on the watch list that I've sucessfully bought!

So you missed the last walking virgin in the British Isles then ?..........................

I've had this too. Do much so that I sent an email to ebay moaning but their response - which I've since deleted - wasn't illuminating and didn't promise improvement.

I had one saying I was eligible for Power seller status, fooled me, and had to change password. Bob

Hope you don't mind a mere female joining in. :)

Please accept my apologies if you've read this before, I tried postin it earlier but it appears to have disappeared, oh the wonders of moder technology!

Anyway, it is my husband who is the RC enthusiast but being a Eba fanatic myself he showed me this posting so I have got myself signed i to have a word.

I have been a member of Ebay for 3 years and I have NEVER received a email reminding me about items I am watching. The only way I can acces them is through 'my ebay'. I don't know if there is something you lo have done to get this facility but if not you should be very careful There are an awful lot of ebay spoof emails around.

Typical woman, never use 1 word when 50 will do! ;)

Anyway, hope you all have a good weekend. BTW is anyone going to th Model Engineering show at Brighton in a fortnight? We are.

Welcome to the ME Group!

If you have an item in your 'Watched Items' in My Ebay, then you will get a reminder at 5hrs left on the auction, other than that I have never seen anything else,

Your ebay daily Watch List also comes out each morning.

Yes but you can set your account not to get them.

You can influence what you get from EBay by going to Preferences under My Account. Among umpteen other things are the Notification preferences.

Fridayschild,

I think you may need to specify an eBay address in the My Account/Preferences/Notification Preferences/Edit. Then you will automatically be sent an e-mail, I think about a day before the watched item finishes. You can also get notifications of new items in your specified searches. Really quite useful.

All the time.
