xsprocketbash411x: hey.  
xsprocketbash411x: read this please:  
xsprocketbash411x: for a background  
xsprocketbash411x: Hello,

Thanks for writing to eBay. My name is Jennifer and I apperciate the  
chance to assist you.

I understand your concern regarding your listing. I would be happy to  
assist you with this matter. I would recommend that you end your listing  
immediately and relist your item. After this time your item should show  
up on the site as the new listing. Once you have ended your listing  
please reply back to me with the item number and I will be happy to  
issue you a credit for this listing.

Please follow the steps below to end your listing early (If there are no  
bids on the auction listing, you may skip steps 4 & 5):

1. Click on the “site map” link located at the top of any eBay page.

2. Then, click on the “End your listing” link. It’s located under the  
“Selling Activities” heading in the middle column. You may be asked to  
sign in if you haven’t already.

3. On the next page, enter in the item number of the auction you wish to  
end early.

4. If there are no bids on the item, or if you select to cancel the bids  
on the item, you will be prompted to select a reason for ending the item  
early. You can finish ending your listing by clicking on “Continue.”

5. If there are bids on the item, you will see two choices:

a. The first choice is “Cancel bids and end listing early.” If you wish  
to end the item without selling it to any bidder(s), please select this  
option and click on the “Cancel bids” button.

b. The second choice is “Sell item to high bidder(s) and end listing  
early.” If you wish to sell the item to the high bidder(s) for the  
current high bid price without waiting for the listing to end on its  
own, please select this option, and then click the “Sell item” button.

1. If there are bids and you select to sell the item to the high  
bidder(s), you will end the listing at the current high bid price by  
clicking on “Sell item.” You will then be instructed to contact the high  
bidder to complete the transaction.

If you have any additional questions regarding this email, please click  
on the Live Help link below. This link will put you in contact with an  
eBay Billing Representative to resolve your questions or concerns right  
now.

Message: I started a listing a few weeks ago:

The item number is: 4601439466  
The item category is: eBay Motors \> Passenger Vehicles \> Nissan \> 240SX  
The item title is: 1991 240sx RightHandDrive 900HP RB26DETT NO RESERVE  
JDM

I have not changed the listing for days, but no matter what i search for  
(i.e. rb26dett) or browse to (eBay Motors \> Passenger Vehicles \> Nissan  
\> 240SX) my item does not appear. I have tried this from about 7  
different computers and all of them yield the same result.  
Occaisionally, if i refresh the search page enough, the item will  
appear… What is most frustrating is that i paid for a featured item  
and IT ISN’T EVEN APEARING ANYWHERE! I read through the help section  
and couldn’t find any pertinant information. There is definitely a  
problem and i believe i deserve at least some credit for the 30 dollar  
“pro-pack” that i opted for…

Mich: Thank you for writing in with your concern. Please give me a moment to read this through.  
xsprocketbash411x: sure thing…  
xsprocketbash411x: i assume it is a pretty standard reply…  
Mich: Thank you for waiting. I understand that this is regarding item 4601439466, which ‘Jennifer’ has advised you to end and reply to her email regarding a credit?  
xsprocketbash411x: Is there nothing you can do to repair this listing? Relisting it is rather detrimental because I have this ebay link cross posted to about 100 messageboards and online forums, I also have 25+ people watching the item and last time the counter worked, it had received over 5000 hits… this is a pretty high dollar item, I don’t mind missing the last few days, but relisting on ebay will cause alot of headache and could scare off potential bidders…  
Mich: I see your concern. I would be happy to transfer you over to the appropriate chat team so they can assist you on the search matter.  
Mich: One moment please.

Please wait while you are transferred to another agent.
