Alert for App users!

Just a heads up! I've finally discovered conclusively that replying to eBay messages using the 'respond now' button on the inbox message section of the ebay iPhone app. does not always (maybe never, I'm not sure about that, yet) send your response, even though you can see your response in your 'sent messages'!

The forwarding/send arrow on the bottom iPhone toolbar (ie not tapping on the 'respond' button embedded within the email) does appear to be working! I've had so many lack of responses to emails, where I've put a lot of effort into the 'enquiry' response, not to mention a lost item situation that I now realise was made complicated by my missing responses!

I will be passing the info onto 'Sarah' later, my personal online assistant at eBay!

I honestly believe I have lost sales that should have come from an intelligent, courteous, and prompt response, NOT good! If this is a global issue for eBay, they may have lost millions in revenue! We shall see when I have my one-to-one with Sarah later.

I phones etc leave me dead.I only take my plain Nokia out with me incase the car breaks down or if I need to meet up with someone...prearranged.There is so much intrusion in normal life.

My girls phones beep all day,they are on facebook or tweeting.

In my day it was the chase of getting a girls home phone number arranging to meet up without the whole world knowing it.

Even Jeremy Kyle druggies use technology beyond my requirements or needs.If I ever get text speak from clients/contractors they can F/O LOL.

With you 100% on that one, except on the days when you can fiddle around in your pocket at a really boring Best Man speech and tie-up a best offer deal AND also buy a bargain within the space of 10 mins...though I have to say Auction Sniper has removed some of the functionality of a smart phone for me! Still good to be intouch with emails 24/7, especialy when they mean ££££'s that is!

Did you Update to os6? Lots of problems, perhaps the eBay app also had a problem. I have'nt updated yet, waiting for 6.1 before doing so

No, I didn't update it, when's 6.1 out, Dave, do you know? My eBay app's up-to-date though??? Really annoying!

Wouldn't it be better to wait for 6.to ?
