Rudolph Read Replies (1) | Respond to of 164684 Take a look at this email from Ebay even though I pulled all links or mentions to my web site. This is crazy in that we offer the ring size the customer needs. I believe Ebay is going to cause themselves problems down the road: "To: sales@davidjewelers.net From: safeharbor@ebay.com | Block Address | Add to Address Book Subject: LP Notice: eBay Informational Alert - Choice - Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 13:42:10 PDT Dear davidjewelers (sales@davidjewelers.net), We appreciate that you chose eBay to list the following item(s): Cat Ring NR Item # 1609901089 However, your listing(s) were in violation of eBay's policies. We would like to take this opportunity to let you know what part of your listing(s) are not permitted. Your listing(s) contained the following information: "All ladies rings we sell on Ebay are sized up to an 8 or down to whatever sized preferred at no additional charge. All men's rings we sell on Ebay are sized up to a 12 and down to whatever size preferred at no additional charge. Sizing above a size 8 or a size 12 for ladies or men's rings respectively will be quoted upon request." In these listing(s) you offered multiple sizes as a "choice", allowing bidders to choose from a selection of items. The description also indicates an additional fee for rings above a laides size 8 and mens size 12. This is considered fee circumvention and is also not allowed on eBay. We realize that you may not have been aware of this policy, but offering choices in this way is not permitted on eBay, and can cause confusion among bidders at the auction's end. Although these auctions are in violation of our listing policies, we will allow them to run to their scheduled end as a one-time courtesy. In the single item format, you may list one item or one grouping of item(s) per auction. In the Dutch auction format, all items must be identical when placed in the same listing. In the future, you may list your items in separate auctions, one for each item, or in separate Dutch auctions for multiples of an identical item. For example, if you have a quantity of items that only differ in size or color, you may list a Dutch auction for each item by size or color. Please view our guideline page for a better understanding of our auction guidelines and how they affect the way you list your items:pages.ebay.com For information on infringing or illegal items or for information on other eBay listing guidelines, please view the following URL:pages.ebay.com Any future listings that are not in compliance with our Choice guidelines will be ended early and repeated violations may jeopardize your account status. We value you as a member of our community and wish to continue this relationship. Therefore, we respectfully ask that you abide by eBay's Listing Policies and User Agreement in the future. We thank you in advance for your cooperation. Regards, David G. S. (safeharbor@ebay.com)"
