removing private listing

thehogogogo — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 15:53:28 GMT

Hi,

I am quite a new seller on ebay. I had chosen the option which says allow buyers to remain anonymous. This turned out to be the worst decisions I have made so far on my sellers account. As you know, new sellers can only rely on feedbacks to have more customers. I would like to ask if there is anything I can do to remove that option without having to end the listing and start all over again.

Thanking you,

having the listings set as private has no affect on your feedback,

you cannot change listings that have had bids or any multi listing that has had sales, but you can revise those that haven't received any bids

you also need to

Upgrade to a Business Account

as at the moment you are trading illegally

You should be able to edit so long as you have no bids, just untick the "private" box. All bidders are now anonymous just showing to others as for example a***b.

Private auctions are abused to hide Shill Bidding.

Asyou are using BINS Private has no effect what so ever as therecan be no improperv bidding.

As already said, you are trading illegally. Ebay Cooperate with Customs and Revenue to identify Illegal traders, so best to register as a Business before they catch up with you.

I am enquiring about buy it now option sales. And I am concerned that when the potential buyers click my product to check the how many havr i sold and the feedbakcs if any, they can see the number of sales but not the feedbacks. And also when they check my general feedbacks they cannot see the products the feedbacks have been given for.
Thanks

if you have already made sales you cannot change the listing, you will have to end them and re-list, unticking the box, but make sure you also use the link already given to upgrade your account at the same time
