So here is the story.

I tried to sell my laptop. List it under fix price (buy it now) or best offer.

The buyer offer above my fix price and I accept it. He immeditely send this message to me :

I have paid. Is this your first time selling? eBay is holding the funds. When you provide a tracking number, and you put it in eBay, they will track the package and release the money before it gets to me. You HAVE to put the tracking number in eBay or they can't track it and release the funds. Understand?? Please ship express

- dif.us7
 
 
 

 

He included two screen shot photos, one indicate he paid, another with his address.

However, on my side, my ebay account, it says I am still awaiting for payment. AND "Buyer has not completed check out," and "Buyer has marked item as paid." See below:

ebay2.PNG

 

I have not received anything from either ebay or paypal regarding the payment. upon carefully I realize this might be scam so I call ebay and confirmed that HE DID NOT PAY.

Plus his account is brand new, meaning 0 feedback, signned up just before trying to buy my laptop.

I insist that I will not ship until he go through the payment process with ebay, and then he insisted he paid.

So what do I do then?

YouTube reivewers with a massive audience badmouthing eBay - Jun 11th, 2015

 

Self Balancing Review : 1,000,000 Views

 

 

 

YouTiube guy

3:25  -"You can even find them cheaper on eBay, but I bought mine through az because eBay feels a bit sketchy, while az gives me a gaurentee of money back"

 

He goes on to talk about what we sellers have been saying for the longest, Chinese sellers being shown before/next to Americans/Europe sellers.

 

3:35 -"While most others are slow shipping from China"

 

eBay, if you're reading this, can you now listen to not only you sellers, but your buyers as well? 

Let the people in their respected country sell what the Chinese want to sell, as it used to be. 

More jobs for Americans, more competition since we aren't having to compete with ridiculously low prices due to subsidized shipping or sellers being manufactureres, etc.

 

 

P.s. good thing this guy isn't buying from eBay, watch from 3:00 to find out why.

Help Japanese Vase Age ? Pottery?

Good Morning! This blue glass bowl measures 8 1/2" wide and 3 3/4" tall. It has a vertical rib design, and painted flowers and leaves w/ gold trim. There is considerable wear to the gold trim and plenty of scratches on the foot, it has an "old" feel to it. The rim and base remind me of EAPG, but I haven't found anything researching that end. I've also looked at Bohemian glass, but the decoration looks more elaborate than this bowl. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks for any help!

                    AUGUST GOTTA MAKE MONEY SUPPORT GROUP

 

 

August is finally here - it's a great transition month for eBay Sellers.  And it's also a great month for beach lovers and winding down on Summer fun.  If you haven't taken the time this summer to visit a beach, go and do so.  Relax, catch some rays, and recharge before the busy part of the month arrives. 

 

August is a great time to start thinking about the upcoming Holiday season that will soon be upon us.  Get your fall items prepped and ready to list as the sales will soon be picking up as the weeks go by.  We welcome all and hope you will stop in and visit with us.

 

      

    For Luck we have Magic Listing Dust

The Gotta Make Money Support Group is here to help and support each other in Making Money, so here are some suggestions to keep the money flowing. We've culled these from years of experience and hope you'll be helped by them!

 

1) LIST IN A VARIETY OF FORMATS - Try some regular auctions, auctions with Buy it Now, Fixed Price, and Fixed Price with Best Offer. Not only will you get a better idea what works for YOU, but you'll offer buyers a variety of buying options.

 

2) OPTIMIZE YOUR LISTINGS – By using the free Terapeak Keyword app (find it in the Applications tab), practice how to take better photos, change the keywords on your listing titles regularly, change the opening blurb in your store header every now and then, and experiment with price changes UP as well as DOWN!  Run Sales on a regular basis with the Markdown Manager and also learn how to set up Promotions on your Store listings for better visibility.

 

3) DON'T LET YOUR UNSOLD LISTINGS LAY AROUND - Check your My eBay page and click on Unsold...get those relisted ASAP!  You've already done all the work, so be sure they're viewable by buyers!

 

4) OPEN A STORE - If you are wondering whether you are better off with a BASIC store or a PREMIUM store, figure that if you have over 250 store items, Premium is a better buy....under 250, Basic is....this is at least a rule of thumb to get you started.  Stores used to be great places to put items and keep them available year round, but with the fee changes, maybe not so much - sit down and figure it all out.

 

However, there are at least four really good reasons to have a store.... 1) listing fees are less if you have a store, 2) your items can be separated into categories making it much easier for buyers to shop, 3) you can run Promotions and Markdown Manager sales. They are two different ways to generate sales!, and 4) you can put your store in vacation mode when you need to get away for a bit.

 

5) DEAL WITH BIDDERS, BUYERS, AND ANNOYING INQUISITIVE POTENTIAL BIDDERS IN A PATIENT AND FRIENDLY WAY - Remember that it's worth money in your pocket and it's good business sense to show respect to all.   If you must, write up that snarky reply, get a laugh at it, then hit delete.

 

6) KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE! This thread is all about MAKING MONEY, that's for sure, but we feel that being supportive of our Lister Sisters and Brothers helps ALL of us. Drop in and hang out! Venting is allowed, but take it easy on the drama, negative vibes and controversial, off-topic issues such as politics and religion.

Join in!

Hello,

 

I'm wondering do i need to refund buyer shipping fee for damaged packaging? the items remained undamaged however. Because I put shoes inside a stow bag.

 

it is a pair of shoes, I stated in the listing that, the auction is for shoes only, no shoe trees no anything else.

 

No, I didn't say i would ship it in the original packaging, i didn't even mention the word packaging.

Do i refund for damaged packaging?

Hi, Thank you all in advance for any help with this piece. 

We believe this is an early (19th. Century) Japanese Satsuma Vase. 

Could anyone help us confirm this? 

This piece is not marked anywhere. 

Also, does anyone know what this technique is called when there are applied pieces on a vase like this? 

This piece measures approximately 11  7/8" tall, 4" across the top, 3  1/2" across the bottom and 6  1/2" at the widest part in the middle. 

This also appears to have some Samurai swordsmen in it. 100_9065.jpg100_9071.jpg100_9072.jpg100_9075.jpg100_9076.jpg100_9080.jpg100_9083.jpg100_9085.jpg100_9086.jpg100_9089.jpg

What's up with this tracking info?

This came from an estate sale.  It is marked STER and it is sterling with a real, light cream pearl in his mouth.  He's on a sterling box chain, but since there were other box chains the same size at the estate it may not be original to the pendant.  The mark looks to me like an "S" inside of a crown.  Maybe it's not a crown, but the general shape of a crown?  Definitely an S though inside something.  I love the way his tail wraps around to create the bale.    Any idea what the mark is?  I've found him listed a couple other places but the sellers don't appear to know the hallmark either.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Costume Turquoise Bracelet?

i bought two turquoise 9I think this is turquoise, I don't know, I am still trying to learn about it) rings at an outdoor antique show today.  This is one, and I have now clue about the "hallmark" in it.  I believe it is Navajo because of the constructions.  The gold overlay is rosy in color....it is stamped "sterling" inside and was tested as such.  Please give me your opinions on it- and maybe the stone is glass?  I don't know.  Thanks.

Tons of brass buddha on eBay, issue is I can't find one just like it. 

 

It's thick brass, but hollow inside, filled with something like concrete to give it weight. I'm guessing its from the 60's. It was in an old estate.

 

Looks to be holding something, but what?

 

What is it worth? I'm guessing around $10.

 

Looks like it was cold when his sculpture was taken, lol.

Help with this Buddhist piece.

Picked this LARGE jar or jug up Saturday at a local sale, do you all think it could possibly be American Southern redware or is it European?

 

It's partially glazed and splashed with what appears to be a greenish-brown alkaline-type glaze at top and to the interior, the rest is unglazed, but dressed in a very weathered white slip. The shoulders have an incised sine wave between two bands going all the way round.

 

Can you all help determine the possible age and origin?

 

Thank you!

Any thoughts on the possible age and origin of the burnished earthenware seated feline holding a small bird to its mouth? Appears to be an effigy drinking bottle/vessel of some sort.

 

Native American (Mississippian Culture, etc.) or South American (Chimu, etc.)????

Buying & Selling Basics question

Hi, I'd appreciate any information about this magazine.  I found it at a Book Fair and can't read Japanese.  It's copyright 1993 in English on the back, and I recognize the Blue Swat and Super Sentai Mighty Morphin' cards and those were about that same time.  Is this considered collectible or just an interesting piece?IMG_0094.JPGFullSizeRender.jpg

Collectibles & Art discussion

My friend found this in a storage unit he won at a auction & sold it to me (he only deals in furniture). I bought it because it looks like it was done by a well known artist whose work all have ladies in this style in them. - I bought it even though it was too big to fit in my car & I had to take it out of the frame It has to measure at least 36" x 48" - it covered my whole back seat!) and even though it had slid behind the matting so I couldn't see the name before removing it, - I bought it because I was sure I knew the work & would recognize the name once I saw it.

 

BUT I DON'T!! (aagghh!)

 

Can someone please tell me who this signature belongs to & if it is a known artist?  The piece is a limited edition; it is also signed in pencil 174 / 275.

PS - Is there a way to tell if this is a litho, serigraph or reg print? The artwork has a "feel" to it - different than a reg print that would feel just like the paper it is on.

I appreciate any help.

I picked this up at an estate sale quite some time ago, along with a couple of really neat Native American baskets. Was going to list it, then while doing some research online realized that I have no idea how to price it, and more importantly, whether or not it is old and actually Native American.

 

It has a decent patina, good work on the carving/design, and is certainly elk horn. When I search for Hupa or California elk-horn purse, very similar items appear on google etc. but I've noticed that a lot of them, most of them actually, have larger slots in them, presumably to fit the dentalium shells.  Other than that, this piece seems to fit the bill for being a purse.

 

This piece is about 4 1/2" long, 1 1/2" across, and has a very thin slice of horn/antler glued into one end. The string is just for a tag I attached to help keep track of when/where I got it.20150801_221806.jpg

can anyone identify this item?

Gosh, I haven't asked for help in a year or more, and now I've asked two questions in one weekend!  Thanks in advance for taking the time to help.  I don't do that much glass but scored at a sweet sale of an old lady's estate.  I have a glass beverage pitcher, esimating it's 64 oz, the pattern looks distinct to me, but I've spent a large part of the day looking for it and have come up empty handed.  Any help would be much appreciated!

WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM

Hi there,

 

I'm a noob seller to eBay and have not yet listed any items yet (I'm still wanting to get all my settings perfect)  and given that I live in CA, I want to be sure I get all my tax tables set up. I've read the help files on this (http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/checkout-tax-table.html#setting) but when I follow the instructions  I am unable to find the Account information and the tax table settings. Do I need to first list an item in order  to get to those features? Is the helpfile out of date? I'm losing my mind trying to figure this out.

 

AN UPDATE: Please don't suggest that I read the taxtable help pages that I already referenced above. I have read them, and followed them carefully. I am NOT able to see any option for "Buyer Preferences" when I go to My eBay > Account > Site Preferences (see screenshot).

screenshot.jpg

 

 

Also, I'm not asking about business licenses, sellers permit,  CA tax or anything like that. I have all that info straigntened out. My question is PURELY mechanical - how in the heck do I activate my tax tables? Or do I need to first post my first item to get the sales tax table options to show up?

 

Thanks for the help!

So I've had this for a while now and just keep putting it away, like most my other pieces.

Would this be considered "modernist or abstract" in design??

What do you think the center part with the profile looking picture is made from it's looks as though it is flaking or "peeling" away ?

The only mark I could find was a tiny letter on a solder part which looks like an "M" or an "E". Any help is much appreciated TIA Smiley Happy

Can anyone help me identify this porcelain figurine and possibly provide keywords? I've searched Disney's website and eBay and I can't find this one. From what I understand, they have names - does anyone happen to know this one? Possibly a year it was produced? The bottom is marked "authentic original Disney theme parks" so I'm guessing someone bought this at Disney World. It's approximately 5" tall and 6" across. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need additional information from me. Thanks in advance for your time, help, and expertise!

Since Thursday, I have had problems listing a new product on eBay, with the site asking me to "select or create a shipping policy." And in the Paypal policy dropbbox, there is also a bunch of gobbledygook. I have cleaned my cache and cookies several times since then, and this is still the same result.

Selling question

I am trying to find out everything I can about this ring..... to start, do you think this is genuine turquoise?  The ring is marked sterling with gold overlay on the front in a rosy color.....I have been researching mines and am trying to determine what mine this could be from.  Thank you for any help!

I don't even know if this ring is turquoise, but I am guessing if it is, it is Navajo in construction.  The gold overlay is rosy, and it is stamped "sterling" inside and tests as such.  Does anyone know anything about this ring, including the hallmarks?  I am trying to learn about turquoise, but it hasn't been easy.  Smiley Happy

Hi, 

 

I had an auction going that ended yesterday and I am having some trouble with the buyer. I included free shipping as one of the stipulations of the auction and clearly stated the item ships within the US only. Not only does the buyer live in England but now they want me to ship the item to Nigeria!  I have included the chain of events below.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

1. The auction was for a PS4 console, a PS4 controller, and one game, and ended yesterday with a winning bid of 420.00

 

 

 

2. I soon after received a message from the buyer asking for a money request from Paypal.

 

 

 

 3. I then sent the buyer a money request from Paypal which included the shipping costs to have the item sent to England. The total came to 499.85.

 

 

 

4.The buyer did not respond to either request directly. Instead I received the messages below.

Hello seller,
I have carried out the payment via paypal, kindly check your PayPal email (inbox,spam or junk folder) for the notification emails from PayPal. Cos I have received emails from them stating the money has been deducted from my account. I hope they have notified you via email? I want the item dispatched to my nephew in west africa as am presently out of the UK and would be travelling to Nigeria in the next few days to see my nephew due to some family reasons. I sincerely hope you can assist me in dispatching the item over there so it would be convenient for me to receive the item when I get there.
Address:

I want you to dispatch the item today to the address above via USPS Express Mail International, I have added $100 to the initial price paid for the item to cover up the postage bill to the address. Please grant my request.
Regards.

Any help would be great!

Selling question

Anyone else having this issue???? When people bid on your items, when viewed on your phone app it is showing retracted bids even when you havent gotten a retracted bid on your item? I have seen others complain about this too and are now accusing sellers of schilling their auctions but its not true and it is hurting sales for good honest sellers. This shows up on my all the time and sometimes will show 4 bids with 20+ retracted bids when I never got an email or even have actual retraced bids. heres a perfect example. i have attached a pic. I just got a bid on one of the items I am selling. I got the notification and checked my phone instantly. It shows 1 bid and one retracted bid already but the bid is still there and nothing got retracted? HOW CAN WE GET EBAY TO FIX THIS! Ive contacted them and they never understand what I am talking about but it makes sellers look bad because people say we are schilling our auctions which isn't the case at all.

This fly reel was in with a bunch of vintage Shakespeare and Martin reels but it does not have a maker's name on it - only has JAPAN stamped on the mounting plate.  It is painted with what appears to be original flat black.  What would be the best way to title it so that some interested party might have at least a remote chance of finding it.  Thanks for your help.

I got this from my friend along with the Isaac Maimon I asked about yesterday - they were both in the same storage unit he'd won at a auction. He owns a furniture store & bought the unit because of the beautiful, high end furniture that was in the unit. That same high end furniture is what made me agree to buy the Maimon piece even though I couldn't see the signature, and this piece.

This is another large piece, but not as big as the Maimon, and appears to be a pastel but I can't tell even with a magnifying glass.

It also appeared to not be signed until I saw what looks like initials (bottom photo).

 

Does anyone recognize the art or the initials - if that is what they are? Is there a way to tell if it's a real pastel without removing it from the frame? If not I will open the back enough to feel it; I think it's worth the gamble just because of the type of home it came out of.

 

I appreciate any help if it's possible.

I've read that the more listings I have the better so I will put some more of my art up for sale. Would anyone mind taking a look at my listings and critique them for me?

 buy tons of stuff from china but have been cheated so many time, I buy mostly beads which are very cheap 1/5 the price of what they cost in the US.  The problem is  it  most take forever to ship and most use fake tracking numbers which never work.

 

 

 

And then there is this problem I buy a lot sometimes from one seller, that just happens to leave some items out of package but the tracking numer says delivered when filing for not received ebay says here is the tracking number and it says delivered so no refund for this items  I withhold feedback but will leave neg. for all items, how would you handle it????

THOUGHT FEEDBACK WAS A REVIEW OF THE ITEM NOT OF YOUR CHARACTER? SO I NEED SOME HELP HERE, I SAW IN ANOTHER POST THE MORE NEG AND NUT FEEDBACK YOU LEAVE FOR A SELLER AND YOU SELF IS A SELLER AS WELL YOU WONT BE TRUSTED ? IS THIS TRUE? OR CORRECT? WHEN I BUY I HARDLY LOOK AT THE FEEDBACK UNLESS ITS UNDER 90% OR SO GIVE OR TAKE, AS YOU CANT SEE THE ITEM THAT THE FEEDBACK WAS LEFT ABOUT SO THERE IS NO WAY THE ITEM YOU ARE BIDDING ON IF SOME ONE ELSE LIKED IT OR NOT, OR A REVIEW ON THAT SAME ITEM, JUST NEED A LITTLE INFO AND HELP PLEASE,  THANKS I SEE PEOPLE WITH 10,000 FEEDBACK WITH 3,000+ NEG FEEDBACK'S BUT IT DIDN'T STOP ME FROM LOOKING BIDDING OR BUYING FROM THEM,

Import charges

I sold a photo printer. It was rather heavy so cost a lot to ship....just over 50.00.

 

The buyer's address looks like it could be an apt.

 

Anyway the day he purchased it (Sunday) I hadn't printed a label for it yet because I knew it wouldn't go out until Monday. The buyer sent me a Ebay message with this:

 

"Hey sir. Plz I need this item."

 

I write him back, thanked him for his purchase and let him know that the item is going out Monday and he should get it soon. It went out 2 day priority.

 

He writes me back:

 

"OK thanks for the business . hoping to get it soon."

 

The item was attempted to be delivered July 29th, but he must not have been home or whatever.

 

On July 30th, the printer went back to the post office as "Available for pick-up".

 

The buyer has yet to pick it up but he seemed to be in a hurry for it.

 

I got to wondering if the buyer had 2nd thoughts. Could the buyer refuse the shipment and it get shipped back to me and he be refunded? I put on listing "no refunds". If he refused the item, I'd be out of over 50.00 in shipping?

 

How would Ebay handle this?  I'm just trying to research ahead of time because you just never know. I got a little concerned too when I saw his Paypal email address was yahoo in UK.

 

I'm always so afraid of scammers and their tricks but this guy could be completely legit.

 

Thanks.

I had a very weird experience.   Today when I checked the shipping status of my sold items, I discovered that on a recent international sale a partial refund for a significant amount of money had been granted to the buyer.  I had not been advised about this in any way whatsoever.  When I called eBay to learn more, I was told that it was an "Admin refund".  They could provide no other information, but the eBay CSR refered me to Paypal.  Note, that thus far no money has been debited from my account.

 

When I contacted Paypal, I learned that the the "Admin refund" was because the customer's credit card had been declined, at least in part for the total amount due.  I expressed my concern to the Paypal CSR that it appears that the buyer may get a nice art print for free, or nearly so, if the shipment is not reversed or the buyer doesn't pay the full amount.  Paypal said they would email the buyer and ask them to pay the full amount.  Paypal also said I should try to contact the shipping carrier to have the package sent back to me.  

 

The item has left the US and is on it's way to Norway.  I do not have the carrier and tracking info yet for this leg of the journey, only eBay's internal GSP number.  Fedex was responsible only for the domestic leg of the journey.  And so, my concern is that the buyer will get a nice art print without paying for it, and that somehow I will get charged for it.  I probably won't, or shouldn't, as I used eBay's GSP to ship it, and I did not process the payment, eBay and Paypal did.  

 

Should I just wait and see what happens, or should I contact eBay again and try to get the shipment reversed?  Personally, I have a moral issue with fraudsters getting away with things, even if I am not personally affected.  Plus, I don't like the idea of nice art in the hands of questionable people.  What would you do?

Hey ! Iphone sold im waiting for money

Hi. I have just won a item and was confirmed highest bidder. After some time the seller messaged me to say another bidder had made a offer higher than mine (dont know how they know what i put on) but they claimed a error with ebay and they should of won. As far as i was concerned i was the highest bidder, i also phoned ebay and spoke with them and they said by looking at their system that I had won but now the seller has also spoke to ebay and now cancelled my order. There were two items, a kitchen and island, i lost the island won the kitchen, the other bidder won the island and lost on the kitchen. Is there anything else i can do.

Hello.

 

I bought an item but because of my inexperience i didn't know that i will have to pay additoinal expenses because the item arrived at the commons house insetead of the post office. Since the price of the item is doubled that way i decided to return it and i wrote a message to the seller about returning but i did not receive the answer. So i clicked that i want to return it and i also informed the commons house that they ship it back but they are not able to do it untill 11. august since they did not get the approval that item can be sent back before that date and in the meantime ebay informed me that if i don't ship the item back until August 5. that i may not receive my money back.

 

 

So, does anybody have any idea how can i get the money back or is it gone? Smiley Happy

Hello i have sold a item and the buyer did not pay. Ebay charged the 10% fee on the item i sold, atleast i think thats what the fee is for. I don't think the buyer is going to pay because he has not respnded to any of my questions. I opened a case so i guess i will have to close that soon, but anyways if the buyer does not pay do i need to pay ebay the fee and get a refund, or not pay ebay and let the fee go away, if it will? Will i still owe ebay anything if the buyer does not pay? This was also a buy it now or best offer listing how did he not pay right then when he bought it. Oh and there was not a insertion fee atlest i dont think there was.

Buyer claims I shipped to wrong address?!

I was super excited to sell my old iphone 4s for the amount that I got. I had it literally at the price I was happy with when this other bidder came in and started a bidding war and wound up winning. I was thrilled but...3 days and no payment. No word from them. I opened a resoluation case and still...nothing. It's been 4 days. I REALLY want to sell this phone fast and get that money.

 

Can I relist this item for auction while this case is going on??? What's the harm that could occur with a 7 day auction if this buyer is not intending on paying? Also, should I leave "positive" feedback with a warning to others that this buyer doesn't pay? Someone else did that to this buyer within the last month. They are obviously a nuiscance to ebay buying. Why bid on something you don't intend to pay for? I don't understand it.

HI,

 

I purchased a top from someone who didn't offer returns but said the item was in "excellent pre-owned condition" and provided measurements.

 

When I received the top, it was NOT in "excellent condition", been worn and washed way too many times, with lots of piling and the material now rough. Furthermore, the measurements she provided were inaccurate (4" smaller than what she said they were.)

 

She is allowing me to return it but wants me to simply use the original packaging and write "Return to Sender" on the packaging.

 

What are people's experiences with doing it that way? I had one bad experience but wanted to know other thoughts.

 

Thanks!

So I sold an item several months ago and the buyer left me a simple one word negative feedback that said: SCAM. All because it was a holiday and shipping took an extra day. Even though I provided tracking number and shipping promptly two days after auction because of weekend, the item ended early Saturday morning so I was unable to ship until Tuesday becuase Monday was a holiday. I have filed complaint with ebay only to not get a response. I am sure others have had this issue, before wasting my time and calling is there anything else I can do? Scam makes it seem like buyer didn't get the item or that I stole his/her money. That seems very defamatory considering I did everything I was supposed to do and buyer got said item with proof of tracking and recieving. 


I have almost 1000 feedback score and no negatives other than this one. I am wanting to list a similar item but feel it will hurt my chances if buyers see this "SCAM" feedback left that I know I did not deserve. This was a zero feedback buyer who has never bought anything else on ebay. Seems rather odd to me. 

 

Thanks for any guidence.

I recently sold a bracelet that had a factory tarnished look to it.  I listed it as new without tags, and posted pictures of the bracelet.  The bracelet sold, but the buyer requested a refund because they said that it looked old and tarnished.  This is how the bracelet was made.  I would have gladly issued a refund had I of seen their request for one.  I use eBay mostly on my smartphone and somehow didn't notice or see their request for a refund.  Today while checking my paypal I noticed that eBay issued a refund to a buyer for the bracelet that I sold.  The ebay case was opened and closed today because I didn't respond to their refund request.  My question now is how will I get this bracelet back from the buyer?  I will gladly pay for them to ship it back.  There was nothing wrong with the bracelet and I would like it back so I can re sell it.  This just can't be right that eBay would allow a buyer to keep the item, and get the refund?

Apologies for the vague title; I feel my question is somewhat complex, and I am trying to go about this as properly and ethically as possible to ensure I don't accidentally violate any of ebay's policies. First, the lead-up:

 

While browsing, I found a seller who put up a single large listing with multiple items. Several of the items within I have been searching for and would be eager to buy, but as they were part of the aforementioned single listing I wasn't going to place a bid, with it being more than I could afford and containing other products I had no interest in. Now, the listing has recently expired with no bids and (as far as I can tell) the seller still has the items.

 

My main question then is this: would it be allowable (and ethical) for my to contact the seller about my interest towards the specific items he has, and ask if it was possible for them to list them once more, only individually?

 

Please note I am NOT IN ANY WAY looking to engage in backdoor dealing or seeking to convince the seller to sell me the items exclusively; I would only want to ask them to re-list the items so that I and others could fairly bid on them as allowed by ebay. I have tried to find any official answer to this sort of question, but so far I have had no luck. If anyone more versed in using ebay knows where to find such responses, I would be most grateful for any links.

 

Once again I stress I have absolutely no intention of attempting anything underhanded; I simply don't know whether asking a seller such a question is allowed, and I want to be absolutely certain I act in a lawful and acceptable manner. If the answer is a straightforward "NO!", then that is totally fine by me and I will be relieved to know I avoided making a regrettable decision. If it is allowed on the other hand, then I will be glad to have the chance to purchase something I would like to own.

 

Any help and answers, especially official ebay responses, to this murky situation are very much appreciated!

 

Bidding & Buying question

i have bought over 100 items, not much, to some people. I always try to find a way to leave positive feedback unless the service is really bad. My question is whether sellers are required to send tracking info after I paid for the item, so I can be home when it arrives; especially since the package is large and shows that is in the box? I have emailed the seller twice to request the tracking info, but have no reply as of yet. The item is to be delivered between 8/3-8/10, and I can't stay home every day to wait for it! What options do I have, and what action do you suggest I do next?  The item was $259.99 so not chump change to me...

 

Thanks for any ideas.

Is it a legitimate Kestner?

I sold an item listed as "free shipping".   My very first International sale and is going via Global shipping program.  Now, here is my problem.  Item sold at $16.49.  Total weight with packing of brooch is 4oz.  Calculated to see the First Class shipping cost at $2.13. that will go to a US address in KY.

 

Now starts my nightmare.  I pull up the page to print the packing slip, and shipping cost says $16.81  -  MORE than payment of item.  After fees and shipping I am paying extra money to ship an item I am giving away for free.

 

HELP???  Is this normal?  What did I do wrong?  Am I supposed to charge shipping (just in case someone from overseas  buys my items?  

 

I don't know what to do.  I can not afford at this time to spend any money I don't have.  Just pd. rent and bills.  OMG, please someone advise!  Thank you!

 

 

Shipping & Returns question

I found this several years ago and have never found the maker.  It is true black glass and well finished with a fired rim and no rough seams.   I anyone has a maker and or age, it would  greatly appreciated.  The height is 8 1/2 inches , top is 4 1/2 inches per side and base is about 3 7/8 inches per side.

return shipping label

I have a PayPal Smart Connect Account.  I had planned on using it to pay for a cheap item. 

 

But then when I go to pay the option is either Paypal or credit card and I didn't get a choice.  When did this happen?  And why am I logging into PayPal from an eBay screen rather than going to PayPal.

 

For companies that are separating, this felt like they were all one company.

No payment options in PayPal

Hi,

 

I am looking for help again with a pink bowl.

I am wondering who made it, what the pattern is.

It is 11 inches in diameter, and 3 inches high.

 

Thank you,

Bozena

Help with pink bowl

I list an item over and over.  I list it for 30 day periods.  After it expires I lose all of the "watchers" and it usually takes 7-10 days to build them back up again.  I want to keep the listing ongoing so it will never expire.  Not sure if there is a way I can achieve this.  Please help.

I haven't sold on ebays for years, so this is all new to me.  I have bidders texting me wanting my paypal email to make payment.   What do I do from here?
