Question:
Should the Instamail default to 'No' when new members sign in? [If chosen, an email is sent to the seller effectively telling them that you sniped their auction...]

Choices:
Yes - default to 'No email to be sent'!
No - send those emails when I win!
Don't know!
Don't care!

 

Lol, R2... You write poll questions the way our politicians do over here...
... Yes = No
... No = Yes

I voted I don't care. Mine is off, and believe most that use AS have it turned off, but AS is only trying to advertise, and uses the 'industry norm'.
i.e. Do you want to receive future offers?
May we share your email address with our partners?
Subscribe to our weekly newsletter?
ect... all these default to ON and have to be turned off at most sites.

While the description during sign-up is a little misleading, (and the email itself) most would have to realize some sort of advertisement would also be included. Even if the ad were not there, I still would not use insta-mail. The seller already gets my shipping information from eBay and/or PayPal by using the Pay Now button.

True - it was a hard poll to word - the 1st time was so poor I deleted it!

Well, it's been viewed over 50 times but only about 10 votes cast. Here in the UK, Tony Blair is keen to scrap Polling Stations and letting it all go 'postal' (love that expression now that I understand its USA meaning!) - perhaps I should have followed his example!

ps. VOTE NOW!
