My
Ebay Partner Network links stopped working over a month ago, which ties in nicely with the latest changes to the system...
I complained several times to
Ebay Partner Network support, who got me to try various pointless exercises at my end when it was blatantly obvious that it was something at theirs.
Eventually, my complaint was passed to the "quality" team. Over the weekend, despite no changes at my end, and no message from
Ebay Partner Network, the links started working again.
This is how we run the networks helpdesk. Deny all problems, fix them quickly in the background, and blame user error. 99% success rate. Users are so grateful it has started to work again, they shut up.
I suspect that this "outage" will never be explained, and any revenue missed over the last month has gone down a black hole.
I bloody HATE eBay. 
The tossers (eBay) have done it again!
Another rule change, hidden in the T&Cs...
Apparently, you can't say "this item is advertised for sale elsewhere, and may be removed at any time". I've used that phrase for years. .
If I list an item on ebay
and Amazon, and it sells on Amazon, I'm going to kill the eBay listing, whether they like it or not. I always made this clear at the start, to avoid confusion later. Now I can't state this, but I'm as sure as hell going to keep on doing it.
I listed THREE books this morning, and TWO of them were removed within minutes. They missed the third one, so I assume some little shit reported them, rather than it being automatic. Oh, and listing fees were not refunded, as I'd "breached eBay rules". Tossers.
eBay thinks that it is the ONLY online selling site. It's not. It's not even the best one.
I'll say that again, "
TOSSERS!!!"
I just ordered one, from Japan.
I'll let you know how I get on..
Hi doods,
Guess what?
I've actually got around to making some music again!
Please check out my new tune on my myspace page at:
http://www.myspace.com/benskiaAnyone with a decent monitoring setup - I'm especially interested to hear how the mix sounds since I'm exclusively using headphones these days due to the kids!
NerveJam.Com has now relaunched, using Wordpress. All the previous content is still here, including the forum.
Check out the revamped music section, with the mp3 players… The downloads section (powered by PayLoadz) is also back online.

Hi. I've now moved the main site over to Wordress 2.8.
All the original content is there, in a Wordpress wrapper.
There's a link to this forum, but I've not integrated the two yet, so your logins will not work on the wordpress system yet.
Nothing to stop you registering on both, though, and saying Hi...
Snippets of all my music are available via in-page mp3 player on the "music" pages.
Give it a look, and let me know what you think....
As you can see, the site has now moved over to Wordpress.
Pretty much all of the original functionality is still there, but not necessarily in the same place.
The forum is still there, accessed via the link on the “forum” page. This will be better integrated later.
The store (amazon astore) and downloads (payloadz) pages are active, in a wordpress wrapper. The content is exactly the same.
I sold my MINT Korg M500 on eBay years ago, for really big money compared to the going rate.
I regretted it so much that I bought another one this year, for slightly less than I sold the original one. But this one doesn't have the box and manuals etc, and it's not exactly MINT. Sounds good though.
Won't be selling this one unless I can get a minter.
Do I sound mint-obsessed?
I do notice that the bits of old kit I have sold on eBay recently have fetched good money. (Redsound Darkstar for instance). Could be a good time to do it if you were thinking about it anyway.
