Turning off the "ask the seller" display in eBay auctions?

K6AZ

I have an auction scheduled to go tonight, the first one I have done in some time. How do you shut the option off that allows people to ask questions and the questions are posted on the auction? I looked all over My Ebay preferences and could not find it.

No on or off preference. The answer only appears in the auction if you use the link provided in the eMail to respond to the question. If you respond directly, it doesn't appear.

Not exactly sure but it might be in the actual auction form, not your preferences.

OK, thanks. I wasn't sure how that worked, and I didn't want any that would be detrimental to my listing. So if it is a legit question, then I can answer using the link and it will appear.

This is hard to explain but it's easy.

If you get a question there is a new link in the question to reply through eBay's system instead of directly so the other party can't see
your e-mail.

If you use that link there are two options that appear & you can just check them to your liking.
1- Do not allow other party to see your e-mail address
2- Show this question on the auction page

Just don't check the "Show the question" option.

Gotcha, thanks.

Come on Eric that could be interesting if you gave some great answers to some of the doufus buyers.

I may just do that Ken, now that I know I can make the choice of whether or not the question can be viewed in the auction.

I wonder if ah-collectibles would ask K6AZ any questions through the eBay system....

Yeah, you caught my drift, actually as in their stoolies asking the questions.
