All I want to do is talk about Sportlots

[gopherfan]

Can't get on here. Sad really. I finally have a full day to try and add stuff. Oh well, have a Merry Christmas everyone.

And it's back!

Thanks, gives me time to fill some orders before heading to the post office on lunch

Yea.. technical issue. They told me it would only be a few minutes... they weren't being truthful. Anyway, the amount of time it takes will vary for everyone.. but most everyone should be back up in an hour or two at the longest.

Sorry! Wish I was given better info.. I would have provided better communication if I knew we were going to be down for an extended period of time.

*** Update ***

If you continue to have problems.. try completely closing down your browser and restarting. If that doesn't resolve, again.. how long this will happen will vary by user. but should be available for everyone soon.

I looked up their domain registration and it was updated today at 6:56 am. It's odd that the temporary landing page appears to be hosted by their registrar instead of them providing their own "down for maintenance" landing page. Definitely seems unplanned...

<< Edit >>

Back online now for me in NorCal.

Is there a way to prevent people from having multiple listings showing on the same card? I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right, but when I am looking to buy cards, I expand the price page to look for the best deal. Right now um doing 2018 Topps Update. Some sellers have 10 or more cards, and each card ls listed with the price individually instead of having say 10 cards at $1.00 each. It makes other listing fall to the second or 3rd page for buyers.

Can you give me a card number to look at in 2018 Topps Update so I can see the issue?

US79 Judge/Altuve is just one example.

I see the behavior you describe only when I view cards via the "Details" view. I do not see this behavior when viewing cards in "Gallery" view. This used to occur in Gallery view as well but they fixed it.

Does anyone know if there is a cap on the amount of Auctions you can run on the site at one time? I have a bunch set up, but then just received a "Auctions are not currently allowed, please try again" message. Not sure if I hit some sort of cap, or it was just a site error. Didn't want to lose a listing draft again to find out. [I have 21 auctions up if that helps.]

I think you're referring to COMC??

No, there is no limit. There is a very short period of time once/hour where we are "optimizing" auction pictures in the background. During that time (should be less than a minute or so) we have to insure that there are no new auction pictures being loaded while a certain part of this optimization process runs.

When you try to reload the auction shortly afterwards, it should load fine. You just got unlucky and hit the small window of time. I guess the more auctions you load, the more likely you are to hit this situation.

Hope that helps!

Thanks a ton! It has indeed gone smoothly since. Always appreciate the help!

Is there a minimum amount I have to pay as a customer for box shipping? The reason I ask is because I have 52 cards in my box right now that are going to cost $10.82 for shipping. I have three other cards that have been en route to box for quite a while. Is the shipping from the box based only on weight? I don't feel like waiting 52 cards because three others are apparently in purgatory, but I also don't want to pay several dollars to get those last three cards whenever they arrive.

[Budler]

From what I have been told and seen. (my shipments). The answers to both of your questions is a YES and NO. It depends on how he ships them. In a flat rate box or just a box. My understanding is he tries to do the cheapest.

He also has to take in how cards are shipped to him as he does not open each person packages sent to him. He just puts your packages from the sellers into another box and sends all of them to you.

So if he gets 50 of your cards in PWEs and 2 in bubble mailers. They would not fit in a small flat rate. Then if in a box not flat rate, 3 others may push the weight may high if they are in top loaders and in a mailer. Now if the other 3 can fit into a flat rate box with the first 52 price would not go up when adding the last 3.

He just charges you the amount of shipping he pays and NO handling fee.

Who knows things may have changes lately.

Thanks. I didn't consider any of that, even though I've had multiple box shipments.

Anyone know how to cancel an order? I received an order in, but the buyer said it is incorrect for some reason and wants to cancel. I'm trying to figure out how to do so without negatively effecting my report card (i.e. unable to fill a certain order). Any advice is appreciated - and thought I'd try here before messaging Sportlots support. Thanks!

[Drumlewi]

Has anyone requested a box to be shipped recently? I made a request last Thursday that is still pending. From what I remember my previous boxes had shipped by now.

Same here. Another thing is I was waiting for something to reach my box. It had tracking information, and it showed it reached SL two weeks before I got a SL notification that it was received.

Thanks for the response. I am glad to know I am not the only one waiting. My box is going to be pretty big so I was trying to time it when I would be home to get it. I also had one package that took nearly one month to arrive after the tracking was added.

[longhornjunkie]

I had to file an issue after a shipment did not show up for a month. I assume USPS failure. Hopefully Sportlots will let the seller send me a Paypal address so I can reimburse if the cards arrive.
