Wacky negative feedback

Got my first negative feedback after 1.4k items sold - buyer was mad he couldn’t use his gift card at my store. Provided no other information other than his gift cards didn’t work. I asked eBay to remove this nonsense and they declined claiming it di...

sending offers to items on watch lists

I send offers to pretty much every listing in that section under Active. Exceptions are when ebay wants to require me to discount too much. Some of the time I don't discount much but usually I try to be somewhat generous. A lot depends on whether the...

Looks like eBay is doing more testing on the View Item page design - in some browsers I'm seeing they have gotten rid of the Shipping, Returns, and Payments tab and instead to access that information the user has to click "See Details", which then di...

Not responding to offers - Neutral

A couple of weeks ago I responded to a discussion here about how to respond to feedback. My position was if I will not accept the offer I will not respond or decline. Well, a buyer sent me three offers. After the third one I decided to block him beca...
