Pete S Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Anyone know? Sometimes I get an email from someone I've paid for a record, and it says something along the lines of "your item has been despatched", does anyone know how they do this, is it set up automatically?

Pete S Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 click mark item as sent. And that sends them the message? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Adrian Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 If you send recorded or such and have a ref number you can put than on the paypal invoice and they then send an automated email re dispatch. Not sure if its done through ebay too? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 It's a service thats only available to sellers who have signed up for Seller Mananager or Seller Manager Pro. Then just set up what emails are sent when and it's all done automatically. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I think you can also go to "order or order description" then a list comes up including mark as despatched sure that's it Pete Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Liljimmycrank Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 It's a service thats only available to sellers who have signed up for Seller Mananager or Seller Manager Pro. Then just set up what emails are sent when and it's all done automatically. Not one hundred percent sure how it works but the above sounds about right. I've only ever noticed it from power sellers or sellers with shops etc who have thousands of feedback. Can only assume its a function you have to pay for, or perhaps available when you're essentially a business in Ebay's eyes. Dont think marking payment as sent sends an email to be honest, think it just shows in their ebay profile as being marked as dispatched and when.

Theresa Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 If you print your own postage via Paypal Pete, then the buyer gets an immediate email saying you've bought postage. You have to use the postage label that day or the next day, so the buyer knows it's going out within 24 hours. I like it because it prints an address label for the parcel, plus a proof of postage for you that you just get stamped at the post office. No need to even write if you're a lazy bastard like me Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kev Connellan Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Pete, you can sign up for a free selling manager on Ebay. https://pages.ebay.co.uk/selling_manager/ Once you are using it, open up your 'my 'ebay' page. 3 tabs on left> 'activity' 'messages' and 'account' >click 'account' tab. under 'selling manager' click 'awaiting postage' this brings up a list of ended auctions that have ended and been paid for, awaiting posting. You can tick a listing and choose 'e-mail' buyer, opens drop down list of different e-mail templates (which you can edit). Select 'dispatch notification' thats it, your done. tips on using free selling manager here https://pages.ebay.co.uk/selling_manager/faq.html Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
