How to filter by courier service?

Several sellers have used Aramex/Fastway/whatever it's called nowadays, and each time I've never recieved the order. I don't know if it's a seller issue or a courier issue (though I suspect the latter because of each seller's high ratings (95%+ posit...

Is there a way to revert to the old search results (changed today)

The new layout is trash (every time they change search results it's get worse and not better). Also, my saved searches that excluding certain sellers, now no longer exclude those sellers. Stop trying to "improve" the search layout. It is ALWAYS worse...

Resolved! Shoes sent wrong size!!!

Ebay Community please help.... I ordered a very expensive, designer shoe (~$1,000 retail cost, my costs ~$400, used) and the seller sent a 42.5. The post is very clearly for a 43. They don't fit. I'm a true 43, if not 43.5. Normally designer leather ...

Resolved! Is it normal for every package to take 3+ weeks?

Return of defective product because the seller moved

I bought a laptop that did not work. I returned it, got a refund but then the product was shipped back because the seller had moved. What are my obligations? Should I junk the defective product and forget about it?

Yet another bad "Authenication" story

Why am I now seeing ALL Orders at the bottom of Summary page?

This is another new (and stupid) development, instead of only seeing unhidden recent orders a the bottom of mt Summary page, I now see ALL orders. Ebay, can you stop fooling around with things that aren't broken and maybe fix the tings that are? Like...

Where can you see final selling price after auction over

Someone once told me you can look up final bid on an item to see what it actually sold for. If correct, where is that?
