Check to see if you have Windows Photo Viewer on your computer. If so, open the picture and then look toward the bottom for the rotation arrow. Rotate the picture, save it again, and then upload it again.
Thank you WBird for your insight. The difficulty is that some buyers do not leave feedback and I don’t want to have to ask for it with ebay already doing that for us. So,the question becomes how to build up feedback if buyers do not feel so inclined to give it.
Happy Thanksgiving. May you all have a bountiful eBay Harvest.
I just did a Google Reverse Search and at the bottom was the auction. I checked and saw that they have a phone number listed. You may want to simply call and ask. I can’t imagine that an auction is going to be held without having names for each item in the auction.
Just a thought. Due to the fact that eBay is a 24 hour global (if you participate in the global shipping program) store, you may want to change your handling time from 1 to 3 days Tuesday evening right before you go to bed. This will make sure that any sales made after you change the handling time will be under the 3 day handling time instead of one day handling. If you wait to change it until Wednesday morning, you may find that you have made sales overnight that are under the one day handling time.
More experienced sellers might have a different perspective.
I would offer that you put on a 3 day handling from Wednesday until Saturday due to the fact that you are going to be out of town until late Sunday evening. This will provide you with a cushion if anything should delay your travels. You would also have a cushion for packing and getting the items scanned especially if you sell a lot or sell large and/or fragile items that might require more time to pack.
Then on Sunday, put it back to one day handling. You can still ship everything on Monday but would have the cushion in case you need it.
If you are going to opt into the GD program, do it now. I just found out from an Ebay rep (who completely contradicted a previous ebay rep I spoke) that it can take up to 30 days for your account to be approved and included.

You made an excellent point about ebay teaching buyers that they can create a situation that allows them to keep items and their money and then repeat the behavior. This is one of the greatest areas of weaknesses for eBay. They are inconsistant with consistancy. They positively reinforce negative behaviors and/or behavior’s they say they do not want or approve of due to their lack of consistancy. This causes alot of chaos and drama and is a huge waste of time. Time spent trying to figure out their pattern of inconsistant consistancy could be spent sourcing, listing, and/or packing.This is the closest I could find to what you are looking for.
You may want to look on the inside tags for the type of material and then add that to your search.https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GKLA_enUS688US689&biw=1600&bih=794&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=OxgSWuGMPOqT0wLT2oLoCA&q=women%27s+clothing+white+smock+blouse&oq=women%27s+clothing+white+smock+blouse&gs_l=psy-ab.3…11335.15383.0.15680.21.20.1.0.0.0.117.1421.18j2.20.0….0…1.1.64.psy-ab..0.7.525…0j0i30k1j0i8i30k1j0i24k1.0.YgGou7KIYHc

Wow Zach! Congrats on your sales. Thanks for sharing your ideas and experiences. I had been thinking about checking some of my pictures. Now, I am definitely going to do so.
Thanks again.Look in the Seller Hub under the Growth tab – left hand side.
You will see 3 choices
Listing improvements
Sourcing guidance
Restock adviceThat is the mandatory cross promotions ebay is forcing all of us into when creating a sale but not telling us. The language for it was in the link terms and conditions next to the word launch. This is deceptive on ebay’s part. The only way to change it is to call ebay and tell them this is not okay and to put back choices for sales. The more of us who call and let them know that we do not want to be forced into cross promotions, the quicker it will change.
This what you are agreeing to when you create a sale whether you know it or not. Ebay does not identify anywhere along the line that you are setting up a cross promotions sales until the end inside the terms and conditions link. http://pages.ebay.com/promo/terms/pricingpromotions.html#prmngr

A picture would be helpful.
I would offer that in a previous set of posts, it was identified that shipping in 2 boxes for one listing seemed to pose some difficulties especially with pricing of the shipping which needs to be included in the listing. If you quote a price and the weight and dimensions are more than you estimated (especially with the extra packaging materials you are going to need), when you get ready to ship you would have to pick up some of the cost or go back to the customer and ask for more money. It is not good practice to go to a customer and ask for more money. It is expected that you did your homework ahead of time and listed the pricing correctly. In addition, I am not sure if you are able to print out the same label twice and use it on 2 packages for one listing.
I would offer that you determine:
1. How much do you want to sell one lamp for?
2. How much would it cost to ship that one lamp?Then sell each lamp at the cost and shipping amount you identified. You may want to also offer 5 to 10% off (note it in each listing) the total price for the person who buys both.
J&R have a video on shipping. I am not sure what number it, is but it might be able to assist you.
This has been really helpful and informative. Thank you everyone for sharing your insights.
