OT - need help!

Just took a look at your store and several of the items in it. No problems.

Ditto. Would you like me to place an order or two to make sure everything is working well? I really dont mind. ;-) Diana

Got in and saw things just fine.

They seem like they are working, but I did not bid on anything.

Thanks, Diana, but it's not necessary. I just can't understand how my business has dropped off to nothing when I have been busier than a NO-armed paperhanger for three months. I just wanted to make sure eBay was working as I've had problems with them this morning too.

Thanks for trying it out for me!

Thanks, Barb. I appreciate your help.

Thanks, Amy. You should be keeping up with the discussions on the eBay discussion boards. The story has now been picked up by CNN business and a story is posted on their website. This is an absolute nightmare for thousands of eBay and PayPal users.

Oh, thats easy, Im almost out of money. ;-) Diana... pondering that word, almost

Hi, Mj,

I just clicked the link and everything came up immediately and clearly.

I didn't buy anything though. :-( I'm behaving till the Horrible Siblings get their act in gear.

I did buy a few things, but either eBay or Paypal isn't letting me finish the transaction. It tells me that I need to click the "finalize transaction" button, but when I do, nothing happens. I tried to get to Paypal directly to see if the sales went through, but no dice.

Can you check and see if the sales got through to you?

Hi Kathy -

I did get my emails from eBay about your purchases but I can't get into PayPal to see if they're showing up there. I'll check again after I get my packages mailed (much) later this afternoon. All this crap has put me about two hours behind where I should be for mailing. Ugh.

Thanks and I'll update you later.

I got through to your website just fine... even found something I had to have! :) What I can't do is get to Paypal to pay for it. You might doublecheck in your "My eBay" to see if you have sales and somehow you're not getting notifications... I've heard from a couple of people who are having that problem.

I's also possible that people are holding off on their eBay shopping until Paypal works again.

I can get in okay. I love those Christmas trees but I am going to Malta in 3 weeks and saving for that. I could spend a small fortune in your store. Shirley

ebay's having "issues". It's slow for me too, and has been for a few days. People must be occupied with the election stuff, war stuff, etc. etc. I'm usually the first person to call foul when people talk about ebay being slow - but this time it's really and truly true. :)

Yes, and it sucks. The big one. Sorry for being crass, but it really does and there's no other way to put it. :)

It worked fine for me, MJ.

I am wondering if the recent PayPal crap has just run over into eBay sales? You know, people can assume they are connected at the hip.

I hope sales come in for you soon!

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from "Mj" :

The problem is, Beki, eBay and PayPal ARE connected at the hip now. I had hoped when eBay bought PayPal two years ago that the two services would combine to make direct, online sales from eBay easier and faster. They did for the customer, but I've found as a seller that it takes me even MORE time to process sales than it did when I was taking credit cards, checks and money orders only.

I was really pushing my limit as to how much I could handle in sales last quarter so I suppose I should be happy to have it slow down. I can't have it *stop* altogether! LOL!!

Oh, well. Back to trying to get into my account again.
