Fed up with non payers

I’m fed up with buyers winning an auction and then never paying. It’s a complete waste of time. eBay should charge non paying buyers a fee to discourage people from bidding on items they have no intention on paying for.

Using AI Descriptions, got it from the horse's mouth

I asked AI about item descriptions, and this was the response, AI descriptions, while efficient, can't replace human creativity. Overusing phrases like 'Show off your love' and 'Add a touch of elegance' can come across as lazy and insincere, undermin...

auctions. not a question

Right now I am challenging myself to push auctions hard, as long as I make non-work stuff my priority (gardening and reading mostly, gardening and swimming in the morning before I do any work). Sales were bonkers last night, including one particularl...

Is this type of sale allowed by ebay?

Can a seller in China list an item for sale, state they are in the United States in the listing, then have the item shipped directly to the buyer from a large store in the USA, with probably no possibility of return since the mailing label simply giv...

Resolved! What to do now?

A buyer bought 2 items from the same lot. The ad said:"Lot 2..." On her invoice it was clearly visible she paid for 2 items and there were 2 photos in the ad. Despite of that she claims I supposed to send her 4 items ( 2 from 2 lots) which is non-sen...

So essentially I had over 500 of my listings taken down sighting that they were violating replica coin counterfeit policy when in fact all of these coins were genuine US currency none of them were replicas or fakes at first I thought this was an arti...

Cancelled unpaid auction sale - now I can't send to Second Chance bidder

I had a shady buyer with 0 feedback outbid my top bidder, I sent them a message hours after they won and asked them pay me as there were many interested bidders. 7 hours later, no response (shocker).Now I can't send to Second Chance bidders either an...

Do many ask themselves why put in so much effort?

Added a listing with 22 images. All of the time & effort to make sure a seller can give as much detail as possible to the potential buyers. Potential buyers? Does not seem worth it at all when, after 5 days, no views. How many views will appear in a ...

VAT free countries

I am a USA seller. If I sell an item to someone who is in a VAT free country, will eBay levy a VAT charge to the buyer?

I think it is wrong that defects in Tracking Uploaded cannot be appealed

This post is for sellers that are rated top-rated or aspire to be top-rated. Recently, my seller's level fell from a top-rated seller to "above standard", so I looked into the issue and found that I have several defects in the category of " Tracking ...

Promotional Advertising Required

I have been selling on eBay for over 30 years. I have seen all the changes and even worked for them for 5 years. With that said, I have never seen my sales go from $3000.00 per month, with 1,000,000 impressions, to $900.00 and 340,000 impressions. Wh...

the ebay customer service will never help to the sellers

The ebay wants as many sellers as its possible because its their money, but once you as a seller have a problem with a buyer they will never help you or even read your explanation, the buyer always is a winer. Here is my story: I'm selling used auto ...

If I don't pay for "promoted" is it being hidden?! Common item w/ZERO views 15 days later.

Isn't the huge cut Ebay takes out of the total sale supposed to cover the cost of using their platform? Why do they "suggest" ANOTHER NINE PERCENT for "promoting"....? And why do a lot of my items (that are reasonably common, say 10 are always listed...

I had to issue a refund to a buyer as USPS lost the item. I double checked the other day and it turns out the package was finally delivered, I would like to get paid as the buyer essentially got the product for free. This particular buyer left me neg...
