Question:
- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – So I was idly browsing eBay tonight and found an item where the "following information," as they say in front of the PayPal logo, had been added on August somethingorother. As this was a seven-day auction ending in a few days, this struck me as surprising. It was an item from a seller who has an eBay store and runs things from the store periodically through auctions, so a relisting is certainly a possibility, but does it really keep the original PayPal insertion date? Pretty funny, if so. — Deborah Stevenson [eliminate OBSTACLES to email me] Since it becomes a part of the actual auction description, yes, it remains when you relist UNLESS you edit it out on relist. eBay’s probably expecting people to pay attention when they relist, and leave the "additions" there as they’re often by the seller as a description enhancement. I’m sure some folks don’t really understand *what* to take out. Kris
I spent a solid 3 hours the other day editing that crap out most all of my auctions, and permanently adding the Paypal logo/button with HTML… It was well worth the trouble. I get kinda anal about the way my auctions look and don’t like extraneous text! I could not do the ones that already had bids. I’ll get to them later.

once i relisted an item and the added Paypal information was included in the description box. i was able to change the date to some day that hadn’t even happened at that point. david — http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/derbarbier/ (ebay sales) http://shops.half.com/derbarbier stickneedlesinme at mindspring dot com
