eBay offers many different automation rules from the ebay store and the selling manager/selling manager pro.  Some of this are great time savers but I just wanted to make note to new sellers on ebay that these are not always the only way to go.

For example the end of auction notification is a great rule to send out a quick little email to buyers and let them know about other items you may have that are of similar interst.  I love this rule!

However there are some rules like leaving automatic feedback and automatically sending a reminder to leave you feedback are some rules that one must be very carefull with.

I just say this because sometimes it is just easier to set up the rule and forget it, however, if you get orders backed up and are still sending out reminders to buyers to leave you feedback, you may get the feedback but the feedback you were looking for. 

Take time thinking about the whole buying process your customers go through when setting up these rules, not just thinking of how you can save time.

Hope this helps you grow your ebay business,
