Menoporsche Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Well this thread is pretty good, but you only need 6 more posts to put up an official advert... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I thought it was 50 posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 If it’s 40 then perhaps I can get it on here soon ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdie Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 It was always 40 and I've seen nothing to suggest it's changed - so get to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was another post - though to be fair they said they thought it was 50 - so if it’s 40 I am pretty close now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 There are no rules about listing in more than one place are there? It went on Gumtree and Autotrader last night - am sure that AVForums has a rule about not listing in multiple places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBD914 v2 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 No such rule on here as far as I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy p Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Isn't this an advert anyway?? It might as well be in the classifieds! Got to say if it was spring this would of sold already, excellent value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoat Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Thanks Araf - is there a way to archive this thread. Really appreciate the comments and advice here and have the car advertised appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATM Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 On 11/24/2017 at 6:45 PM, RBD914 v2 said: No that's not quite right, the eBay listing fee for a classified ad is £14.99 and the final value fee on cars is indeed 1% of its value - but it is capped at £35. So total fees for a car of your value would be only £60. Dont forget its almost always impossible to complete a sale on eBay for a car of reasonable value. Therefore most sales are completed outside of eBay and therefore most will tell eBay it was unsold and avoid the final value fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATM has somehow added his comments to my post, then quoted as if I typed it. Moderator @Araf - Can this be corrected and prevented in future posts? For the record, I disagree that it is almost impossible to complete a sale on eBay for a car of reasonable value, I have sold several cars this way. Ebay monitor all emails between seller and potential buyers, they also censor the swapping of private email addresses and phone numbers. If they suspect a sale has been transacted outside eBay on purpose, then they will charge the final value fee anyway, and then ban you from eBay in future. So be careful if you are tempted to go this route! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So be careful if you are tempted to go this route! Agree about eBay monitoring messages, but they don't always ban you from EBay, usual sanction is to limit your ability to receive messages. I had this when trying to buy a ladder, where I couldn't message the seller. Turns out he had been completing sales outside eBay and they sanctioned him for a week. It was still possible for him to list and sell stuff, but to message him, you had to look up his name rather than just click on 'send message'. May be a different response with something high value like a car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens to me occasionally, I can only type inside a quote, it won't let me put the cursor outside. No idea why. I don't think there's anything conspiratorial about it.

I've noticed if you delete elements to reduce what you are quoting, or hit backspace just before the quote box you sometimes end up typing within the box itself. I think if you hit enter a couple of times you move back out of the box and can type normally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrected but people can refer back to your original post and see who wrote what, if they are really concerned. No, it can't be corrected long term, and I wouldn't want it to be. How can we have fun misquoting people, if we are unable to amend their post in the quoted area. 1 hour ago, Menoporsche said: This happens to me occasionally, I can only type inside a quote, it won't let me put the cursor outside.

Every time you CR you just make the quote box bigger. As I said above, delete the quote and then re-quote is the only way I know of putting the line back under the quote box.

Just tried it again, hit CR once and you get an extra line in the quote box, hit it again and you drop out of the quote box and into your fresh clean area.

Stuart21UK Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 I had no idea what you meant by 'CR' but hitting 'enter' more than once has that effect....you learn something new every day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriage Return = CR (sometimes labelled as ‘Return’ on a keyboard) = Enter Programmers terminology and historically relates to the control of a cursor or printhead position (or in fact typewriter head position). ‘Enter’ (or possibly ‘Return’) would be what you hit on a keyboard these days ?. I did use the word ‘enter’ in my initial comment above. End of early morning lecture ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got just short of asking (£200) but did want it to go quickly and was concerned that if we got into December it would struggle and we’d have it for another month until the new year. Gutted it’s gone. Will miss it. Replacement is a Mini Cooper S 5 door - can get all of us in it when required and a much cheaper what is now “second car”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would list on Autotrader if it were me, to list through more then one channel at the same time merely duplicates the coverage and doubles the cost. Most people looking for a car go to Autotrader first, then eBay then Pistonheads. I quoted this from page 1. Its still there. I just hit quote again. What am I missing here?

The issue was that some of the opinion you added had appeared within the quote element of the text box and not outside so it looked like @RBD914 v2 had made some of the comment that in fact you had. This has been subsequently deleted so that’s why you can’t see it now. Then we had a discussion about how this can happen and how you can get yourself out of the quote box again ?
