Howdy All,





eBay is Driving Me Nuts! Can anyone step me through how to removed the special buyer financing offers. You know, "$10 off your first purchase", that has automatically been activated on my account. I can't figure out the cryptic pathway through the eBay/PayPal mire of links.



I had to scrap putting up the Tim Jiardini collection last night because I couldn't figure out how to turn the option off. The help message is, "To turn off the basic financing message, update your payment/checkout preferences in My eBay" but there is no "payment/checkout preferences" link that I can find!



Anyway, if someone could help I'd really appreciate it.

Isn't it in the eBay preferences link when you go to My eBay?



There's a link where you can change seller preferences.



Looking forward to the auction.

That would be logical wouldn't it? Sadly, eBay defies logic.



If you can find the proper path, please share it with me!

Paul,



Sorry, I read this earlier, but couldn't get away to verify and type my response. Just go to your ebay perferences (my preferences) and under the "Payment preferences" there is a box that says "offer paypal buyer credit". Just unclick it . . .



You may have stumbled across it already . . . the problem is that ebay makes it seem like nothing has changed . . . everything appears just as it did before.



However, if you "list/have an item bid up" over $50.00, then this option won't appear on your listing.



Give it a trial run . . . I'm pretty sure it will work for you.



By the way, just in case you were unclear . . . it is just a promotional message . . . kind of annoying, but the $10 credit doesn't affect your auction sale price, it just gives the buyer a credit to their paypal account.



Hope it helps,



Paul



(by the way, this link is also available when listing items from the payment and shipping screen.  To the right of your paypal email address is a link to "edit preferences".  One time will make it effective for all auctions.)

No that's it. . . trust that the option is off even though it doesn't say so.  (you have the correct turn paypal buyer credit option "off".)



Just do one sample at over $50.00 and submit it.  You will see.  



You can always edit it if it doesn't work.



Paul

Yes, I think that is what happens.   I listed an item for over $50 before I posted this and the buyer credit message didn't appear (then I just edited the item to the correct sale price and ebay adjusted my fees).



These little "glitches" pop up in ebay programming all the time . . . if its really annoying I shoot them an email to make sure they are aware. . . invariably, they reply that their programmers are working on it.  Sometimes it takes a few months, but the problem usually gets resolved.

No. I am going to launch the Tim Jiardini auction on Tuesday night (tommorrow), and then another David C. Sutherland III and Steve Marsh auction next Sunday.



The Rob Kuntz auction is in the works!
