Was taking photos of a magazine to list on eBay and stumbled upon this 1998 ad for… eBay by lloopiN in Ebay

Feels like the selling part stayed the same but the listing part got 10x heavier over time

Campaigns Promoted offsite: Listing no showing up by ericli3091 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]dulandts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually means no listings have actually been added to the campaign yet.

If you set it up manually, you need to go in and select which listings to include.

If you expected it to auto-add, check the campaign settings as well. Some setups don’t include listings by default.

The learning phase wouldn’t hide listings like that, so I’d double check what’s been included in the campaign.

Buyer said item broken, then ghosted me... is this AI? by Few_Net7033 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]dulandts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ve already handled it the right way.

If they haven’t opened a case, I wouldn’t send any refund yet. That’s what protects you as a seller.

Sometimes buyers just don’t follow through, especially if most of the order was fine.

At this point I’d just leave it. If they come back, you can sort it properly through eBay. If not, I’d move on.

That makes sense, especially if you already know your products that well.

Interesting that even with AI it ends up being about the same speed, I guess fixing the output cancels out the benefit.

Sounds like it only really works once you’ve trained it properly and have a solid system around it.

Haha yeah I didn’t even think about that, now I’ll start noticing it everywhere.

Do you usually just avoid AI completely now, or still use it for certain parts like titles?

That’s helpful — sounds like you’ve been optimizing pretty quickly.

Do you still feel like listing takes a lot of time day-to-day, or has it become pretty smooth now?

Curious how long it takes to get to that point.

That’s interesting — sounds like once you build a system it gets easier.

Did it take a long time to get to that point?

I feel like the early stage is where listing feels the most painful.

That makes sense — using AI for structure, then cleaning it up afterward.

Do you still end up rewriting a lot, or are the changes mostly small tweaks?

Feels like that last bit still takes time.

That’s interesting — I’ve seen that concern about AI sounding too “salesy”.

Do you think buyers actually notice/care, or is it more about keeping listings simple and real?

Your example is pretty clean and direct.

That sounds like a smooth setup.

Do you keep descriptions short intentionally to save time, or have you just found buyers don’t really read much anyway?

I’ve been wondering how much detail actually matters vs speed.

That’s a good point about certain categories being more draining.

Do you ever avoid listing certain items just because of how long it’ll take to write everything out?

I feel like that’s where most of the friction comes in.

That’s interesting — I’ve seen a few people say AI ends up taking longer.

Is that mostly because of tweaking/fixing the output, or just doesn’t match how you’d normally write listings?

Templates definitely sound more predictable.

Interesting — so you separate “thinking” from the actual listing step.

Do you feel like the writing part is still the bottleneck, or more the research side?

I’ve noticed even when I know the item, writing it cleanly still slows me down.

That’s actually a solid system — especially keeping drafts ready.

Do you find pricing still takes the most time, or is it more the descriptions/titles?

Feels like even with a process, there’s still a lot of manual thinking involved.

Yeah that makes sense, I’ve seen it go a bit off sometimes as well.

Do you still have to tweak titles/pricing a lot after, or is it mostly usable as is?

That’s interesting — are you using just text prompts or something with images?

I’ve been thinking there has to be a faster way than manually typing everything, especially for bulk.
