Beautiful South Martin 24 Posted October 8, 2020 Just recently switched over to the new ebay motors group platform incorporating EB/GT & Motors. I have a problem in so much as when I put a £ sign in the car description copy it replaces it with £ making the advert look ridiculous. Reported it to the rep who has said " I believe the pound sign in the descriptions is not a showing up correctly, because its considered an invalid character on ebay. It might be best to avoid putting any prices in the descriptions." 2 things firstly it is fine in the Motors and gumtree copy so why only ebay? and secondly as I quote monthly payments in the description and also was/now prices I want the £ sign in. Sounds very much a case of the rep can't be bothered her arse to look into it further. So my question is to all you guys who have the new Ebay group platform anyone have the same issue. My direct feed comes straight off AA cars and they are adamant the problem is not at their side. Any help would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 164 Posted October 8, 2020 Ebay doesnt like money mentioned in text hence why it shows the html error, same goes for any advert not just cars. Only thing you can do is put 1,000 pounds or 1,000 gbp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sellect2 19 Posted October 8, 2020 I think you will find quite a few issues on the new platform! There are lots of things that don’t work as well- I’ve been trying for months to get sorted. To be honest I’ve given up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously working on gumtree and motor's shows its ebay themselves they also don't like the word covid in adverts. I've come off the platform now anyway its garbage.

I believe Facebook market place gets more sales but yet again auto trader is the place to be and yes they do charge a lot but it works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
