Day 1.5 Shocker! My biggest fan at eBay...

So, remember that email I sent to eBay wanting to change a product description? Well, I wasn’t expecting a reply at the time (because the email I sent was so damn vague and nondescript that I figured it’d rot in a CSR spam box) but I got one!

And… it was lovely. Check it out below, avec typos (I’ve trimmed a lot of the step-by-step guideline stuff).

Hello ****, (he used my name!)

Thank you for writing to eBay with regard to revising item description.

****, I appreciate your efforts in trying to do this by yourself. I would like to mention that as Webnext (listing tool) is new it has some limitations and that is why you are unable to revise the description. What you can do is end the listing and relist the item and get acbk [sic] to us we will credit your listing fees for the original listing. Please note that you will need to list the item from a fresh listing, if you relist it then you will not be able to switch to advance sell form. We have already escalated it to our technical team and they are working on it to make Webnext to make more efficient. I understand that this will cause you inconvenience, if there was any other workaround I would have definitely assisted you that way. I appreciate your patience and understandin [sic] in this matter.

--edited--

In future, if you [sic] any concern, you can contact us via live chat so that we can assist you in real time.

Here’s my reply:

Dear Henry.

Thank you kindly for your lovely reply, I'm okay with leaving the listing as is (I''ve already got one bid; so excited), and I will keep the LiveChat function in mind if I've any further issues. 

Best regards,
New Seller

My emails have a tendency to sound condescending and rushed, but time is money and short, quip-y statements!


If you’d like to see the original email sent by BackwaterTyrant, you can ask for a transcript at bananahammock12@googlemail.com
