How do I add a store theme to my store? I have been researching it online and this is what it says: "
I can't find the "Display Setting". Help?
This is all I can see:
Trying to add my active listings to my catogories. Every time I do, they go to "Other" and not what I chose.
What am I doing wrong?
I recently picked this up at an auction...because I thought it was cute and that it looked rather old/vintage. Can anyone identify the maker and approx. year of it's manufacture? There are no markings on the bottom. It is 8" tall x 6 3/4" long (side view). Thanks so much in advance.
I picked up a beautiful Victorian photo album yesterday, full of wonderful images and I wanted to share this lovely woman's photograph.
Is she wearing some lovely jewels or what ? I love looking at old photographs, but it's especially nice when they have on their bling. ![]()
It`s 2". Unique design the way the clusters of 5 marquis wire over to the front from the back (clear as mud..right?)
Any ideas on origin? I`m getting a West Germany or Austria vibe, but alas, no marking.
Not quite sure how to descripe the larger pear shaped..all I can think of is a soft, muted Sabrina? That correct?
Thank ya!
Haven't seen any of these in a while - has eBay stopped having these promotions?
Here's an email invite that I received in August 2014:
| List the items every student needs to be successful. Now through August 8, pay no insertion fees* on up to 15,000 fixed price listings. Includes 30-day listings. |
After a buyer received item they want to return, so I sent a return label. buyer can not get to Post Office till date that refund is due. I do not want to refund money until I have my coin back. Please advise, and see below.
| Dear everything4george, Sorry you are not happy with your purchase, so I sent a return label so the item can be returned. I will refund the full purchase price when the coin is received. I want everyone to be satisfied. Thanks, grcooper - grcooper68 |
Hi grcooper68, everything4george requested to return 1944-D Hand Engraved AW Initials in MS 64! because something is wrong with the item. The buyer requested a full refund. Next steps: See the request details. Be sure to resolve the buyer's request by Apr 28, 2015. After that date, the buyer could ask us to open a case, and this can affect your seller performance level. Note that if you accept a return, you'll be charged for return shipping because the buyer mentioned that something's wrong with the item. |
| See request details |
You can ask us to step in and help if there's a problem with the buyer's request. |

Good afternoon everyone.

I would like your assistance on making sure this bag is authentic. Thanks!
I was so lucky to have found this in a box lot, I can't believe it, now I need help with dating the item. I think the leaves are green gold. I put the stones on the gem tester and it said the middle was ruby/sapphire and the purple ones I could not tell but kinda went between spinel, topaz and sapphire. I know the presidium will not say if synthetic or not but no biggie. The pin/pendant is not marked but tested solidly as 14k with acid and the auracle metal detector. I was thinking because of the trombone closure and the fact that it's not marked might make it an antique but I'm no expert and I was wondering if you guys would chime in, please??? My weekend bling!!! wooo hooo This is why I love doing this The hunt is so much fun Thank you guys in advance
Can this lamp possibly be a Fenton lamp? The base is marked HEDCO, searched using HEDCO Fenton and see there are some but , not in this pattern. Can someone please assist in an ID? Measures approx 16" tall. Thanks very much!

Hi. Does anyone know what the mark on this bowl says?
I searched Gotheborg and couldn't find it.

The design has butterflies and flowers.
The flowers have dots on them that you can feel.
Any help is much appreciated.

I am wondering if I have categorized this correctly..There is a stamp on the bottom that I am hoping can be identified..Any help appreciated
The answer is no.
When you see the bidder "o****a" in these live auctions (who has placed 590,352 bids in the last 30 days) that is NOT a person on eBay.
An eBay "live" auction allows eBay buyers to bid via the Internet while a live auction is taking place.
There are people in a room with an auctioneer and everytime one of those floor bidders raise their numbered paddle, the eBay system has to be updated with the latest bid.
To do this, they use a proxy bidder with the eBay ID of o****a. So this is not a single person placing 19,678 bids a day but represents all of floor bidders in the room where the auction is taking place.

I read the Silpada pieces have an arrowhead mark which this one does (Joseph's head)

Does that number mean anything?

Good morning, here are a pair of candleholders, Scandinavian modern style, with a mark I do not recognize.
These appear to be put together by hand, but the bottom sections are identical so I assume pieces were poured?

Can anyone tell me what the mark on the back of an old plate I found means?
I appreciate any help.
Apologies for the lousy photos, quick pics to post, obvious jewlery , but I seem to remember this type of lidded box for some type of memorial...it feels like light plaster,or chalkware, there is a small chip where it is visable, not ceramic or porcelain, Thanks for input, V76
I went through the Gotheborg website and the Qianlong marks are the only ones that come close to the stamp on the base of this I just wanted to see if anyone was more familiar with these marks and is it standard for the marks to be a little different from each other or does it mean I don't have a match? I don't think this vase is too old but I'd like to associate it with the proper maker, era etc. Thanks for any help you can lend
Bought this piece and need help identifying. Came from a collection of other glass I have bought including a Vistosi Bird By Allessandro Pianon. This piece is 30" high by 12" wide by 4" deep.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew an approximate age or name of style for this dress? And what a good asking price would be? Thank you for any help!
This is a tiny steel(?) retangular block. It is 1.5" x 3/4 x 1/2. It is a small, fully realized and attributed, sepia-tone photo of Lover's Lane, Lakewood, NJ.
The glass is chamfered and firmly adhered to the photo and block. It has a vey "Edwardian" incised design, on the reverse...bat's wings, a sword and a stylized "g". Is this a mini gelatin print or some sort of ambrotype? Any info would be helpful, as I am stumped!
Hi all thank you for looking at my vase its about 8" tall in black glaze 2 handles has a mark on bottom like 8 m or w 8 come in a red clay/pottery please help me with this if you can THANK YOU
Does anyone know if Fenton make Milady in milk glass, either for themselves or for sale by someone else?
This vase is 10.75" high, 5.75" diameter at the rim, 5.5" diameter at the base. I can only find Milady vases in carnival versions, overlay versions, and one experimental green version. Also, the vases I have found all have 6-pointed crimped / ruffled rims, whereas mine has a flared rim.
I've looked in the Whitmyer 1907-1939 and 1939-1980 books (only covers carnival), the Walk 1940-1970 "Big Book" and 1970-1985 Compendium (none listed), and the Warman/Moran ID Price Guide (shows the "kitchen green" version, and a couple of QVC overlay colors). And, of course, the usual websites like DDoty, FentonFanatics, Carnival Heaven. The National Fenton Glass Society page also shows several of the vases in their newsletter archives, but none matching mine.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Hello,
I have checked my porcelain maker mark books. Can't find this one. Please help
THIS IS MY HEADER FULL OF JUNK INKFROG MADE FOR ME. I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BC EBAY FAVORS THOSE WHO BUY THEIR **bleep**PY GOOEY AD FILLED SPYWARE PROGRAMS
*insert stupid banner that fills your listing up with spam INKK FROG*
*oh and my title of this post I found using auctina which i pay 50 bucks a month for so i can utilize STATISTICS FROM THIS
COMPANYSPYING ON OUR PHONES, LISTINGS, customers messages. YOU READ MY MESSAGES TO MY CUSTOMERS TO SEE IF I HAVE GIVEN THEM MY EMAIL AND PHONE?? WHAT IF THEY NEED ME??? I DONT CUT OFF MY OFFICE HOURS AT 10. IF SOMEONE NEEDS MY HELP THEYLL GET IT! they follow everything you do, i know what im talking about. *dont even try me troll
dont believe me?- they watch everything. look at your account settings and find 3rd parties - the list of programs and such, you know like the 14 boxes. (this basically meansall of those UNCHECKED boxes having your password.) let me ask you something, would you give your password to paypal and ebay to 15 people you dont know?? how about 15 people times lets say 3, considering they have employees, and im really lowballing it here.
AND THAT GOT CUT OFF. all of those have access 247 to my account. some of them has MORE administrative rights than me or you. and its WORSE on your phone. look at your phones ebay apps permission to do WHATEVER they want
yeah some of those actually make sense to have permissions, but dude.. come on
this company is TERRIBLE FOR SELLERS
if a customer complains BAM! SCAMMER GETS A REFUND
you have a choice to not have refunds and no returns right? a box you check. (if youre on desktop mode! ha)
but ebay made it so you cant make bad feedback for buyers nowadays.
so the buyer *extorts freebies out of you.
this place used to be cool and now theyve let all tech support and customer service outsource to southeast asia!
IM NOT RACIST. but i cant talk to someone i cant understand about MY MONEY. its not even their same EXCHANGE!!
i was in the hospital last week for a serious head injury and they gave 3 people refunds without my input at all. i had no way of contacting anyone, i was alone in a hospital bed. and it wasnt like i didnt send. it was the people made up some BS and ebay just *CHA CHING* there ya go, hes not here right now but i have the keys to his lively hood.
is that right? for them to refund withtout my consent?
paypal didnt think so at all. which is funny because they arent much better.
so why is ebay just allowed to hijack money, isnt there two sides to every story? shouldnt i defend myself before you just go taking money i worked for? you didnt GIVE that to me ebay, you gave me a platform to use. im the seller, or i guess i should say im the service clerk that does everything and youre the manager and boss of my company.
LOOK AT ALL THE DRUG GEAR ON HERE!!!!
theres one
theres another! and look at how much better that listing looks than normal sellers, its bc they pay for perks
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTI4MFgxMjEw/z/TkkAAOSw8d9U0V6H/$_1.JPG
theres thousands of them.
why dont they just remove them all?
AND THEY ONLY TARGET THE LITTLE ONES.
DONT BELIEVE ME
look at the people selling thousands of vaporizers
if these "bots" they have are scanning the thousands of posts put up everyday. thhen why are they still up?? whyare those sellers not banned for a day every once and awhile.
ITS BECAUSE OF MONEY
currupt system that helps lowlifes scam and hold a gun to your head for freebies, ruined product returns, and free stuff bc you want to be a professional seller and provide good customer service. (AND YOU DONT WANT THE THREAT OF BAD FEEDBACK")
THATS CALLED RULE BY FEAR
isnt that what terrisom is?? (loose analogy but...ya know)
Fear? thats why im made to take back returns people obviously just used and sent back.
this isnt walmart.
i actually like walmart better now.
i really dont care what any of you have to say because theres always some troll wants to talk some smack and be a big tough guy. but i dont care about any of this anymore. i just didnt feel right leaving without saying something.
if you are with me message me
(oh wait am i allowed to give yall my email?)
youve really messed up ebay
im dissapointed.
im directly giving to my charity of choice now- thats the only positive thing yall do.
(i would like to see where the money is divided though. )
im sure you gotta skim something off the top.
give some americans that need telemarket/service jobs. nothing agaisnt southeast asia but dont you get that NOONE LIKES THAT. NOONE LIKES TO FIGHT WITH A WEBPAGE TO FIND A NUMBER TO CALL OR EMAIL TO SEND CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
SHOOT I HAVE TO ANSWER MY CUSTOMERS OR YOU CONSTANTLY REMIND ME ABOUT IT.
TRY TO FIND EBAYS CUST SERVICE EMAIL I DARE YOU.
its so hard
they wont even let you call without filling out check boxes full of "oh no we might have to do something ...uh uh....CHECK OUR FAQS."
its like yeah thanks, for nothing. like i didnt think of that. checking out the frequently asked questions. its 2015 we can google any answer in FAQS dummies think about it. if im trying to call to talk to a perso nowadays then ive probably already googled and checked your FAQS. plus google speaks english.
I TOLD THEM TO CANCEL MY SELLERS ACCOUNT LAST MONTH
they didnt
i still have too pay. they claim to record every conversation so i asked them to playback the one where the PERSON ON THE PHONE AGREED TO NOT BILL ME AS A PRO SELLER AND TO DOWNGRADE MY ACCOUNT. NOPE. i have to pay still bc of their human error NOT MINE.
youd better start making this place more seller friendly or its only going to be ONLY STUPID dropships from Amazon and wholesalers from china
by the way search vaporizers.
youll see what i mean
i know i have a choice to be here
and this is my bye bye
but im taking care of my customers first.bc i actually care about people unlike you mass group of corporate trash. maybe someone will read this in your company and hopefully you can get some feedback.
BC I SURE CANT VOICE MY OPINION TO SOMEONE IN THE POLYNESIAN ISLANDS AND HAVE THEM TELL YOU THAT SELLERS ARE UNHAPPY. but im sure you know that you greedy greedy place.
i m friends with about 20 people that sell her and we all agree. BYE.
rant done.
now im going to call my lawyer.
bye

Hi All,
Was just wondering if there's a name in the jewelry world for this technique? The layer underneath the gold lines appears to be enamel and the gold is painted over the base layer to emulate fish scales and accent the whole piece. I couldn't find another one that looked quite like this one.
TIA for any info.
I found this yesterday and need help with a description as I cannot find one like it. Maybe 1950's, just a guess. It is so heavily plated, I thought it was Coro at first but turned out to be Mazer Bros.
Could the plating be Rhodium?
I think it is so beautiful & also my very first Mazer Bros. Have no idea how to price this so Crow anything you can find comparable would be a blessing in disguise![]()

Dear.
I have a case, but not how to handle it because Ebay does not give me the tools to do it or do not know how, it turns out, I win a bet, almost inadvertently a LG G3, which was saying that was defective in reading the sim card, but the seller never put photos of the damage, and when they ask, I leave you on hold, and never the shipping, so I have not paid the bet because of poor communication with the seller, and the seller has not completed the shipment, because I have not paid, 2 days after requesting him to cancel the purchase I get tired of waiting for photographs, but with very bad attitude told me I ought to paying it, or else I would block my paypal account, I need to know how to handle this case, since by his bad attitude and poor communication do not want to deal with this seller.
I need help because ebay could cancel my account or paypal account.
and try to discuss with the seller but I can not treat that person.
Wanted some thoughts on this issue. I sold an item (diabetes test strips) to a buyer. Mailed them (3/16). Got paid. Never heard anything. The other day (4/23) I get a message from eBay saying the buyer wants a refund as he never received the item.
I never included the tracking information in my shipment (first and last time I ever do that). I through out the receipt from the USPS as it was over a month.
My solution thus far is having the Post Master try to locate the tracking number.
HERE IS WHAT IS INTERESTING:
I was proactive and called his local Post Office (across the country). The new guy (his store) before I could finish. They have got calls before and claim his system of receiving is a nightmare as he gets a lot of packages weekly. The man at the post office said he is sure he definitely has the item and cant find it in his own store.
With that being said the buyer now keeps asking for a tracking number and a refund.
End of the day if the post office comes back empty can I dig my heels in and say it's been over a month? The refund too is over $1K.
I appreciate all advice.
What exactly is the 7 day wait for when you want to leave a neutral feedback with someone who is a powerseller? My feedback wont be aby different now then it will be then. I have my item, it wasnt as described but I was able to get it working so I want to leave a neutral. Just dont understand the exact purpose of the waiting period. Are they hoping we will forget or change our minds later?
I've been selling a lot of books, mostly as sets (by series, by author, by type), and have started to accumulate a lot of singletons that can't be listed this way. Good books, high quality, but individually not worth effort to list given very small profit margin. However, it occurred to me that maybe I could do something like this:
Put together an inventory list of all these singletons -- or maybe an inventory list for the singletons in each genre -- then put up a listing on ebay for each inventory list with something like "Science Fiction Genre - Pick 10 books from list in Description for $10" 10 books together would be worthwhile to list, plus customer would pay a lot less shipping. When a customer bought one set of ten, he indicates the ten he wants as a note to the order. His buy takes the listing down, I ship his 10, adjust inventory list in the listing and then put the listing back out again.
This is such a simple idea I figured others must have thought of it, but I can't really find any listings of this type on ebay. This then makes me wonder if ebay has some type of policy against listings like this.
Comments?
. Bought in Antique shop in the 40s, opaque glass, bought in SE Ct, appear to be hand painted with a gold rim, no markings of any kind
I sold an item, invoiced the customer, went back in later it showed paid in eBay (check mark and $ sign were in Blue. Said PRINT LABEL in Blue, so I did and mailed package out same day. When I went back in much later it showed item was not paid that it was mailed and the check mark and the $ were in grey. I called ebay they sent me to Paypal: Paypal said customer attempted to make payment and it did not take. They don't know why eBay marked it as paid. eBay said they have no record of payment being made and that perhaps I hit the Label button by mistake or the Customer may have changed their mind. I should put in an unpaid item assist. Now I am out $190.00. Because customer is ignoring me completly. I have been selling for at least 10 years I know the difference between a Paid item and an Unpaid item. Has anyone had this problem? All I know is PayPal and eBay are saying they are not responsible.
Can anyone shed some light on what this is? I've looked up antique plungers but haven't found anything that looks quite like what I have. Any ideas?
Why does counter indicate multiple views immediately upon listing item?
Sometimes the counter shows zero upon listing item. Then other times the
counter shows as many as six views immediately upon listing. I'm talking
about one second after listing. This diminishes my confidence that the
counters are accurate.
Does anyone have an explanation?
Thanks!
So here is the deal:
I purchased an amp that was listed as "Excellent Condition". When I received the amp, first thing I did was remove the non-original hokey badge that was on it. I want to return this amp, because it is not in excellent condiiton, it is not even in workable condition. Problem is, I lost the badge. Am I out of luck, will I still be able to return the amp if eBay steps in?
A little background:
After plugging it in, I noticed a multitiude of issues. I figured I would take it in to the shop to see if it could just be some maintenence stuff. It wasn't. It is going to cost me over half the cost that I paid for it to get it to a normal running condition. The tech told me it was electrically unsafe to use. Upon speaking to the seller, he wanted no part in helping me out. Told me "Luck of the draw", and that it is clearly stated that he doesn't offer returns.
Thanks
Hey guys. My package was out for delivery on the tracking information, but I revieced this instead of the package. Why do i owe money? I paid $5 for economy shipping to the seller on the transaction. This is something the seller should pay, correct?
I hate that we have to accept Paypal E-checks, there should be a way to select an option of not accepting them. They tie up our inventory too long. I could have opened an UPI case by now and relisted the item!
UGH!
Just had to vent.

There are too many China sellers are using fake locations. They say their locations are Hong Kong or the US but they are not in Hong Kong or in the US. They are actully in China. I've purchased some items from Hong Kong sellers before. But items were shipped from China. Then I search "US Only", but there are sill some China sellers. I am not saying that all China sellers are not honest but many of them are doing such thing called "location abuse". I always try to avoid purchasing things from China sellers because it takes like a month or even longer time to ship an item from China to the United States. And when a problem happens, it's hard to make a resolution. As a buyer, I felt like I had been cheated by sellers location. Why does Ebay allow them to use fake locations?
I am selling a camera and I accidentally made it available internationally. I noticed this mistake 3 days ago, and quickly "revised" the item description to read that it can only ship within the USA. I made the revision very lear with several ****** asteriks.
Still, the current high bidder is from Russia and the auction ends tonight. I just sent him a message a few minutes ago, but I don't know if I should wait to cancel his bid with the auction ending so soon, or just do it right now.
Suggestions?
I just opened return request and ill probobly have to return item that i got to the seller. In return details there is seller's address written, the problem is that it is written with chinese letters. How do i address package with chinese letters? Is there anyway to check seller's address written in our alphabet?
Hi. Just received a strange request by a new member (no feedback rating) and message was sent the same day as their ebay membership started.
Hi All,
I have sold an item for $155. I ship Priority Mail. With Priority Mail, I get $50 free insurance. I want the package to be insured for $155. Do I just buy the Shipcover insurance for the difference of $105, OR do I have to buy the entire $155?

I'm not happy with the spring changes, but I just roll with it, it's their rules and we can either play or not, but I'm REALLY annoyed that I commited to a yearly store subscription, I've had an Anchor store for 2 years but just signed up for the yearly rate in March. I commited on the terms that I get 2500 FP and AUCTION listings a month, now I can't use them for auctions and I don't need 2500 FP listings a month and they'll charge me $600+ to drop my store level. This just seems unfair, as well as illegal to me. How can they change the rules and not give us an out?
I posted two questions a couple of weeks ago.
How can I find out if anyone answered them?
All I can find here seems to be recent questions and answers.
Unique carved design tabletop, anyone familiar?
Moving right along cleaning out my Mom's 3 story full house. .until I found this!
Not sure anything about it but it's beautiful! Every inch tells a story.
I'll post individual pix of each side and any info at all would be wonderful
I found a plate and a bowl in this pattern listed on ebay. I also found a plate on the internet that sold a couple of years ago. All of the sellers seam to think this was either presidential china, or "somehow connected to the White House". But, I haven't been able to verify any connection. Do you know anything about this pattern? Manufacturer? Age?
It's about 8" squalre, and the only mark is "7594".
Follow up on "exuberant bid buyer".
So after I sent:
1. Five (5) polite reminders/messages to the buyers about winning, paying, invalid shipping address, missing order details.
2. Waiting 2 days and no response from buyer.
3. Filing a UID.
Today (day 3) I finally get a bunch of messages from the silent buyer asking to MC.
What should I do? I did not respond to any of those messages yet nor did I do a MC yet.
Remember that if they do pay (which I doubt), the shipping will be impossible since the shipping address is invalid according to UPS (I'm in the US and buyer is in RU).
I've searched this topic and I've found what seems to be the official answer but I just want to doublecheck it because it seems crazy.
A buyer accidentally left me negative feedback. The text of their feedback says something like "Great! Love it!" plus there's a ding. I asked them and they are embarrassed and said they screwed up somehow and want to change it. It looks like I have to use up a Revision Request to enable them to change it. Why? I only get a few of those. I've only used a couple of them in 10 years but it's the functional principle of the thing. I had nothing to do with the feedback so why do I have to get involved? I can see putting a limit on how many of my "sticky situations" I can work on resolving per year but what if I get a bunch of fumble fingered buyers for some reason? I shouldn't be involved in any of their typing management. I can't imagine why eBay would set up a system to make me responsible for someone's typing skills. ?? What am I missing? Usually there's a logic behind a system.
Thanks for any explanation or work-around.
Is there a way to report the "mysterious 0 rated bidders" that strategically show up and run the price of auctions up?
I've noticed this happening very often for nerd community type auctions, ie; video games, RPGs, wargaming, etc. It seems pretty easy for dishonest sellers to have a friend (or even themselves) run the price of auctions up because they know nerds are pretty fanatical about so called "rare items", so the strategy being to run the price up but not to the breaking point. I usually watch bidder activity on things I'm interested in and these 0 rated bidders usually show up toward the end of the auction, especially in the middle of bidding wars.
There have been a couple cases in the past where I backed off and let the 0 rated bidder win, and then the seller comes back and offers me the item because the deal fell through for whatever reason. So I'm sure this is a common practice.
A lot of people are getting suckered into making high bids on items that are artificially given a higher market value due to collusion with dealers who post items on "Buy it now" at sometimes 2 to 5 times market value and sellers who are fraudulently making phantom bids on their own items.
What is ebay's policy on this type of fraud and are they doing anything about it?
I can't find anywhere on this site that actually addresses this issue or where I can send a message to an actual person at ebay. Where are they hiding?
I bought an item, and recieved it.
I had no issues with the transaction or seller, I just did not like the item in person.
I returned the item and paid for the shipping out of my pocket. It is not the sellers fault I did not like the item.
The seller has refunded me, but only refunded tthe cost of the item and not the cost of the original shipping.
Is that how it goes? Or should I be refunded the full amount I originally paid?
Thanks.
Hi! I am fairly new to selling on EBAY. So far I have had great luck with buyers until now. I am having a problem with a buyer that purchased an item on Monday 4/21/15. The item is marked sold but I have not received payment. I have sent 2 invoices and 3 emails. In my last email I told the buyer that if they do not want the item, that we can cancel the transaction but to let me know. I also stated that of I do not hear back from the buyer by Monday, I will attempt to cancel the transaction. I noticed that the buyer is very new to EBAY so I wanted to give them some slack but no communication is ridiculous. So, my question is: Can I cancel this transaction if an entire week has passed without payment or any communication from the buyer?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I told the buyer that I can make the mailing label because the address is invalid, when I look at the change part is says This address was not found in this city and in the state nothing is selected.
Buyers answer
Hi,
Can you take the United States out of the address? I am in the Army deployed to Afghanistan, I think the APO part will suffice.
My answer there is no option for that
Buyers question The APO is the USPS military mailing system, so they can resolve this, don t you think? There is a USPS on my camp and people get all kinds of stuff mailed here all the time, especially packages.
Thanks for your help
Hello I need your help. I notice many people use "Vintage Manuals & Merchandise" when listing old Commodore Computer Games (1980's Games). I always list them in Video Games and Consoles / Video Games.
Is there an advantage when listing these old games in one or the other?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, I just sold an item and a zero feedback bidder won the auction. He hasn't paid, and I'm almost positive he won't. I've reached out to him and there was no response. Rather than going through the whole process of waiting for 48 hours to file the unpaid item claim and going through that process, I noticed the canel a transaction option. Would this save me some time if I went this route? I'd like to list the item back up ASAP, but it is obviously being held up right now. Also, another important question: If I request to cancel the transaction, will I still have to pay the ebay fees?
Thank you!!
I only started using eBay yesterday so I'm not really sure of a few things. I listed an item as auction which ends in 5 days, it has 3 watchers and no bids. I've had a message asking how much I would be willing to take for 'buy it now.' Would it be bad to change the item to buy it now as it has watchers or does it not matter?
Hello,
I'm in the middle of an eBay purchase gone bad. Initially I wanted to return the item, but have decided that taking a refund of $200 (Ampeg Amp), will go far enough to satisfy me, so I can get it repaired. I have an open return request.
The seller is telling me I need to cancel that request so that his PayPal account is taken off of hold. Is this true?
If I cancel my return request before he refunds me, I am exposing myself because I cannot re-open a request after it has been closed.
Please help!
I'm very confused at the moment. I'm trying to list an auction and there isn't an option to upload pictures for my auction (Ebay hosting as it is before. It just has a field to give an html link to a 3rd party picture hosting site. Did something change in the past couple of weeks? Help.
I made a purchase and applied my ebay bucks to that item. The item was lost in the mail and the seller refunded my money. Will I loose those bucks now?
I am trying to think of a good name for my ebay store. I was thinking Twyla's Treasures. Any input?
How do I credit postage overpayment?
Please help.. How can I change ship from adres after selling the item?? I've already tried to change primary adres but cant change it to print label. It asks USA adress and I can't use Georgia zip code
I posted a question some time ago, but didn't know how to check for replies until now.
I saw two replies that are both excellent, answering two totally different aspects of the question.
Is there any way to acknowledge both of them as 'solutions'?
(I guess I can kudo both of them, which I will, but I'd also like to close out the question, and can't figure out which one two say gave the best answer.)
I posted this in someone else's thread and decided to make a separate thread with it. If anyone can give me some insight I'd appreciate it.
I would like to know how to provide free and combined shipping once a buyer spends a certain dollar amount. This would require the buyer to make multiple purchases. Also, I plan on using fixed pricing.
I used to sell here but stopped at the end of 2008. Back then I routinely combined shipping (also took personal checks, too, lol!) and always used auctions. I recall that in order to combine shipping I required people to let me know right away once an auction was over if they were bidding on additional items, and I'd wait to for that other auction to end to send them an invoice, one combined invoice for all from (PayPal? I think).
If they jumped the gun or ignored me and paid separately for separate auctions I got dinged for fees (? as I recall correctly, there had to be a reason I insisted on one combined invoice) and that would annoy me but I'd still try and do combined shipping just for customer service. Those people tended not to be repeats.... but I'd still try and accommodate the combined shipping and just make sure I wasn't losing money on the deal as most of my stuff then was pretty low margin (mostly yarn) (still is low margin... oy!).
Back then I only did auctions. I had no issue combining shipping as I had a lot of repeat customers; my issue as I recall was more with PayPal but I don't remember the details. Except that they didn't quite play fair and kept burrowing their paws deeper and deeper into my pockets.... I don't 'remember ever using the cart. No recollection at all. It seemed like the whole system was geared towards making paypal rich rather than any type of efficiency in this part of the process.
Cut forward to today. I'm still offering combined shipping on most things, but I''m doing all fixed price listings. What I would like to do is offer free shipping if a buyer spends over a certain dollar amount. This would require purchasing multiple items. I can't seem to figure out how to set up my listings to make this work.
How would I go about doing this?
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide.
Just wanted to let everyone know there's a system glitch happening right now. I've tried repeatedly to list a new item, finish a draft item, and sell similar from a sold item like the one I'm selling. I keep getting an error message from each of those links that this service is currently unavaliable. Nothing posted on the Announcement Board yet. I called eBay Customer Service and they confirmed they have a glitch and are working to fix it. No answer on whether they'll extend the free listing period if they're not able to fix the glitch by midnight, which is a real bummer. I have a bunch of draft listings ready for pictures, but my camera batteries died and I'm waiting for them to recharge. I haven't tried uploading from Turbo Lister yet so I don't know if that would work. Just wanted to let everyone know in case you're having the same problem and planned to call CS.
Hi once again I know almost everything the symbol at the middle top of the Chinese etched round disc plaque kissing birds but the symbol stumps me still there is 80.000 any help greatly appreciated thank you in advance.
Everytime I buy something, I notice that, along with Paypal which I basically have to use, I also see the option to pay with credit card and even gift cards, IIRC. I have unused Visa gift cards that I have never been able to use instead of Paypal for payment. Why am I unable to use these even though it appears that i should be allowed to? Thanks.
so even if i list a electronic item as no returns no refunds i still must issue refund? . It has been a month and this person now says the item is bad? It was good when i sold it. I feel like iam being taken on this one.
I just got a large box of Metlox Poppy Trail Sculptured Grape dinnerware and there are several variations in the marks on the back. Does anyone have a site for aging the pieces. I know they have been made over time and want to get the descriptions right. Also, is the name Poppytrail or Poppy Trail, sometimes it has a space and sometimes not. Thanks for your help.
Please let me know if this is the wrong place to ask, but this is driving me up a wall. I concider myself as a moderatly experianced seller. For the last week when I go to list the page is in very tiny type. That is the only page like this on any site I use.
as hard as i try i cannot find my own listings.why is this happening?i have listed 48 items and some are coming to and end of a 5 day auction.i copy paste the exact words to search.nothing.i try looking at ending soonest.zero.i combine shipping for multiple purchases and i'm not sure that my other listings are seen at sellers other items.
Im kinda anoyed with how much of a pain ebay has been, but to top things off they want to charge me to reprint my postage. The printer i wanted to print to was having trouble because it jammed. I went to print it again but it gave me a error message and told me it was unavalable to print. So now they expect me to repay shiping to print it again, and I need to get this shipped buy tommarow so my customer gets it asap. What do i do?

I see lots of sellers offering $299.99 or 6 payments of $50.00. How can I do this with my listings?
Hi guys Im a noob on eBay and I love it buying on the internet. I few days ago I bought an item. The seller later contact me saying "Sorry we cannot process your order" just like that. I send them "Ok then show me proof why you just cant give me what i pay for. And they say that they just cant. I said good keep my money and get a drink Ill invite. I thought it was an scam, later on they sent me a message saying we already made a total refund to your paypal account and blah blah blah. Good. BUT NOW eBay sent me a reminder that I DIDNT PAY! I checked and eBay says that theres an open case for this... so it doenst make sense really. Guys help me with this one I just dont want problems or negative feedback... If any of you knows whats going on here. On my order says The seller canceled your order. So why it says that I didnt paid lol
PLEASE HELP! Like I said IM A NOOB so please dont yell at me![]()
Sales 98% down.I don't no why .can any one help me
Hi,
Has anyone else noticed that there are two different pages that you can get when listing products?
One of them has many more options, including the ability to make a 'good til cancelled' listing, the ability to add a 'theme' and the the ability to collect sales tax.
This last feature (sales tax) is very important to me. However, I am unable to select it for certain products that I have listed. I have tried revising them and relisting them many times, however I can't get to the page where I can select sales tax.
I'm very confused...
I received the message: Your order has shipped to 'my address' and your access code to view your order detail is P8CJxxxx. Where do I check this code? I also get an error message checking the tracking number that says that I am neither the buyer nor the seller and do not have access. Do I have 2 different accounts?
How do I solve this problem?
Found these four Barbie dolls in the bottom of a box and have tried to research them, but I think I am way out of my depth. For all I know, the earrings and bathrobe might be worth more than the dolls. I would appreciate any indication as to whether any of these dolls is worth listing . Left to right:
Thank you so much for looking.
What What happened to 2nd chance offers? I cannot see the option anymore.
Where can I find the Ebay Stores Index, also Templetes for a store? Margaret Bookwalking4u
I have items up for sale that will not end by May 1st. My questions is, will I be charged for those or do I need to cancel all items. I do not intend to pay more fee's.
Thanks
I have a decorative plate for sale and my listing choice was "no international shipping." I had a buyer from Australia who contacted me by e-mail asking if I would please consider selling the item to her because she can not find it anywhere else.
If my item does not sell in the U.S. should I consider listing it with the GSP to sell it to her? I checked her buyer history and it looks good, but I am a new seller and have read about problems with shipping outside the U.S.
There is a method to save responses to a given positive feedback so it is not necessry to create a new response each time. A menu type of responses. How do I do it?
Can I sell this photo? There's artist name in the back. It's a photo copy put in the ceramic plate. What is the copyright that I can not sell?
my listing reads in red letters "delivery in 2 days". i did not choose this. how do i remove it?
Today I bid on an item in a live auction. It was a sterling necklace bracelet set. I bid $60.00 and almost immediately the bid was retracted. This forced me to bid $65.00 (WHICH I DID NOT), then $70.00. The lot ended up unsold. The problem I have is that I did not retract my bid, someone else did, and that was forcing the price up for me(an interested buyer) Things happen so fast in live auctions that you really don't have time to think. For me, this incident has lessened my faith in the legitimacy of live auctions. Does anyone know who controls the bidding process for these?
Ebay took away my 20% discount because a lady asked me to remove her from her winning bid because she didn't know how? I know I know now I shouldn't have done it, but I thought I was giving her good service being helpful since she seemed to be kind of confused about the whole affair. Anyhow, now that I've lost my 20% I'm told I've lost it for a year, so why bother every trying to get it back. My question is since its such a pain to deliver one day shipping and being involved with giving extended return terms favorable to buyers. Can I now back off those things and just ship in 3 days or so and not give returns at all if i don't want to do it? I don't see why I should continue to make an effort to keep something that is gone. At my age, running to the Post Office to give supper quick service to keep my 20% was a chore. Now I think I can back down and slow down and sell less and not worry about meeting all the special circumstances eBay has required. Am I missing something ? I'm just a small time seller and while the extra $ are helpful to retirement, they aren't my next meal.
I only post my items when there is no listing fee, and I just realized I posted 3 items after my free listings had run out, so I had to pay like 30 cents on each of them. Is there a way to immediately retract my listing and get my money back? If not it's not a big deal but that really sucks, how I don't pay attention. Thanks for any help!
Why aren't the "Time left" of the items listing and the times in the notifications in sync? There's always a difference which varies between 10 to 15 seconds and sometimes a few more. Which is correct?
i had and old watch but was in a good working condition,some buyer send me offer and i eccepted it then i send it to him,during 2 week,he started to panic about it,is watch got lost etc,i always gave him good feelings about it that the watch is not lost,its because international shipping,it might come beetween 15-30 day but he got the watch on 2th week.
After he got the item,he send me main that watch is working fast,in one hour it gains 6 minute but normaly the watch was working very fine,he come out with this question: was the watch was like that before shipping ? i told him no but even if such issue,things can be fix easly because all watch have some speed adjustment inside, then i call him,he told me,i want to return the watch later i check his account and saw that,he is also watch seller and he sells watch parts...Now the question come to my mind: what if he demage my watch,what if its an senario,what if he got some piece out of my watch... Now i am panic,its no problem to refun the buyer as long as they honest and fair but this buyer did not sound me realistic,because on my description,i declare that i do not eccept return unless item arrives demages...
1. item did not arrived demages
2.anybody can play with the speed
3.he claims that i did not tell on my description that watch gains 6 minute per hour...
4.more over he want me to pay return shipping
5.last 7 year i have never had such issues.
now i dont know what to do,since ebay thinks my watch is defected ![]()
anybody have suggestion ?
Can anyone name this mattel doll from 1971 for me? she is 14" tall and had a plastic/vinyl body

Hello,
over the weekend I received an eBay "Not as Described" request/case from a buyer with the following comments:
The package arrived, but the watch was not inside of the box. Please resolve and issue a refund.
The item in question was a ~ $400 watch that was purchased by a brand new buyer (feedback score of "0" prior to me leaving feedback after I received payment).
Link to item:
In roughly 12,000 selling transactions this is the first time I've run into this scam/situation. I am usually not wary of new buyers (everyone starts at "0" feedback at some point in time) and I am very slow to call a buyer a scammer but I'm not sure what else to call this.
I have 3rd party insurance on this item, and it was sent via USPS Priority Mail (delivered in two days; on 4/25; the same day the request was opened)
Tracking:
I would like to avoid filing a claim with my insurance company and at the very least use that as a last resort since I'd like to reserve the claims for actual unfortunate situations like items going missing in international sales or items arriving damaged.
I haven't responded to the buyer yet and I'm going to wait to do so until the last moment as I assume he'll escalate the dispute to eBay customer service as soon as he is able to.
From what I've read on these boards I should do some combination of the following:
1) Open a case with the postal inspector (this can be done online right?)
2) Call USPS and open a case
3) Call the police (Mine or his?) and get a case number since I'll need this most likely to get reimbursed by eBay----if that's even a possibility
Just an FYI but each watch comes with a COA as well as a unique engraving on the back of the case and I recorded both of these on my invoice meaning I inspected the packaging to make sure it wasn't empty. Also, I have sold two of these and shipped both in 8"x6"x6" and the recorded weights were exactly the same.
Doesn't USPS have a system where they record the weights (and take pictures of) each item at their sort stations even though they don't make that information available for customers?
Just looking for advice on how I should proceed. Thanks in advance
I don't know what the problem is. I'm a small time seller. I sell about 150 listings a month and have been for years. For the last few days, things have totally stopped. My account is in good standing, there have been no recent opened cases or "requests", my listing format is always the same. I have no recent negative feedbacks. The amount of questions from buyers and offers has come to a hault. Yesterday I sold two items. I don't get it. There's no reason for the decline in sales/offers. I'm a Top-Rated Seller. I tried to call eBay, but that has become pointless since they started outsourcing the calls to all around the world. No one you get on the phone with CS knows what they are talking about anymore. I'm getting really sick of all of this.
The truth is that any dishonest buyer can claim damage or defect on an item and Ebay will not require them to submit a photo of the damage. It defies common sense and gives carte blanche to anyone to steal. It happened to me. Ebay has really become !@#!!!!
Folks....IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE.
We send our blessings to those that have chosen to work through the changes to stay and those we do not see anymore here because they have already moved on. Any suggestions on good ways to work on clearing out what we have remaining would be appreciated.
The boards have been (and are) a place of enjoyment...great info & friendships. I have truly enjoyed it.
Starting today we began ending some of our listings and will continue the phase out of this part of our lives.
God Bless and may everyone here find favor in Ebays eyes!

I had a buyer buy a new purse and wallet and they filed on me after they used the purse and wallet, saying it was not as decribed. E-bay send them there money back plus made me pay from return shipping. I get the purse and wallet back and find that the tags where put back in the wrong spots according to the picture on E-bay and in the wallet it had to receipts, 1 from a gas station, and from a place that does alterrations both from New Mexio, And I live in Ca This tells me she wanted it for 1 occasion and then she wanted her money back, That is just really low. So I called e-bay and told the them I don't rent bags and I wanted some of my money back, Since clearly she was not going to keep it, and then I told them that I would send pictures of the receipts and would they do any thing about it, I was told that they can't and they where sorry that this happined, but that is the risk of selling on E-bay. Wow E-bay is all about the buyers and the sellers can kick rocks. Where is it that us sellers have to pay for every thing and the buyers are Gods ? Oh so not true.
