Starting On Friday... the new Competition

[hnutford@ebay.com]

Now I know this isn't a Treasure Hunt, and some of you will will be disappointed, but here is the new amusement coming your way: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/100kgiveaway/

It doesn't start until later in the week, so there's no need to worry. we'll be able to answer your questions in the next few days.


We'll rename the board a bit later in the week, and change the logo. When it's all done, we'll turn it all back into the Treasure Hunt Board.

Promise. 🙂

Henry

[radioshed]

😐 once again a thread and questions go unanswered 😞

[webwey]

typical man! Told ya! 🙂

[haycornpiglet]

Hey, go easy on Henry. He's only a man as Webway says. Give him a bit of space. He's probably only just recovered from the stress of the Xmas hunts and here are his bosses telling him to communicate with the masses and we are on at him straight away.

He's probably cowering somewhere reading the job adverts wondering how to earn enough to spend all his time on the boards like we do so he can give the flack instead of receiving it.

Henry, you can borrow 'Treasure', my Piglet-in-Elfie-outfit to cuddle if you feel threatened....

Hello Henry - If by any chance you pop in today on your thread, could you please find out the answer to my question?

I wanted to upload items yesterday, but can change the amount of time they run and put them on tomorrow to be in the correct time slot for their competition category. What I want to know is, can I use the wording in the title or the description, that they are eligible for a prize draw entry and meet the criteria (in fewer words, of course!)? I cannot find this as a yes or no in the rules.

[donna18120]

so if you already have something listed and it is still running on those days you can enter is that correct

[which_planet]

Donna - have just answered this on your thread, but no, not running through those days - it has to end on the days stated for an entry into the prize for that particular category(ies) and be PayPal paid for within 24 hours. PayPal has to be on the item you are selling and it has to be paid for this way.

[thomas.j@ebay.com]

Henry isn't around at the moment to answer questions, and whilst I'm new to the pink posting thing, I am familiar with the 100k Giveaway promotion, so I'll do my best to answer some of your questions.

Fire away.

Hi Thomas - have posted my question on the other thread you are on also.

At the risk of going deranged from repeating my question, could you please see other thread or look a bit further back on this thread. Thank you muchly!:^O

[thomas.j@ebay.com]

In case anyone reads through this thread looking for an answer to the same quetion posted elsewhere about referring to the 100k Giveaway in their listings, here's the answer.

eBay doesn't allow keyword spamming in order to influence search results (see: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/listing-keywords.html), however for this competition we are happy for sellers to include a reference to the 100k Giveaway in their title, subtitle or listing.

We would stress however that listings contravening eBay's policy on keyword spamming will be dealt with in the normal way.

Hopefully that clarifies the issue 🙂

Tom

THANK YOU TOM!!

Have left you a kiss on the other thread for clarifying that for me, so I'll leave you one on here too! mwhaaa X

No keyword spamming involved - just wanted to know whether we could let potential bidders know that the item qualifies for the competition.

Thanks again:-D

[which_planet]

....and - Welcome to the boards, Tom!:-D

MR Bump (if you didn't know)

EG UNITE & LOL

*EVIL LAUGH*

In clear defiance to Ebays new no bumping clause

[webwey]

....and Thomas was hastily shunted off back to the engine shed by the Fat Controller. All the engines, were already there waiting and Henry laughed when he saw Thomas's face.

Henry remembered only too well his own initiation into the dubious Treasure Hunt board with all the screaming ladies.

A little while later, Percy was due to make his appearance and Thomas was kind enough to enlighten him as to the fate he might meet. He told him of the PMS and what some might have on their ticket.

Percy's preparation plans were made and as he began the ride of his life he called "All aboard for the Pre Mental Station" and with a "toot toot" he was on his way.....

Sorry, but I am not allowed to credit anyone with the above, including myself. I therefore accept no responsibility for anything I say! LOL I am not a rebel, I just don't conform 🙂
