Authenticity guarantee is a joke don't sell shoes on ebay

Seriously, if you are wondering if you should sell shoes on ebay, don't do it. Their outsourced authencation service will only cost you time and give you headaches. The only guarantee is that ebay found a new micro transaction to collect fees on, wit...

Counterfeit Listing

I have listed Airpods for sale as a way to make extra money but they keep getting flagged as counterfeit. I well know in the world of reselling airpods there is a bunch of counterfeit products that are being sold around. So to make sure that would no...

What chance do I have with this negative?

A buyer left me a negative "I didn't know that this item that I ordered was made in Vietnam. I am a Vietnam Era Veteran. Had I known where it was made, I would not have ordered it." My listing doesn't state where the item was made because the multipl...

Ebay Is Dead for me . My sales have never been this bad.

So far 2024 has turned out to be one of the worse years since 2000 for me. Sales have been 0 in over a week. I think it's time to move somewhere else.

New listings stuck on Median Sold Price

When attempting to post new items for sale the items are stuck on Recommendation applied and that is only allowing items to be listed at Median sold prices. Is there an easy way to change this that I am missing?

UNREAL EBAY RESPONSE

I sent my package with tracking, and it reached the buyer. However, he didn't accept it and I got it back. I messaged the buyer, and he responded that his USPS mail carrier told him the package got stuck in their sorting machine and was damaged, so h...

Old Listings: Relisting vs Sell Similar vs Updating Listing

Hi everyone, We haven't been listing much for months because of health reasons, but we are going to try to get back into this summer as I will be off work. Right now we are down to only about 140 items listed. Most items are over 6 months old. I need...

I just wanted to try and get the word out since eBay hasn't announced this. Check your account settings everyone to make sure the buyer requirements are what you prefer. eBay just added back the option to require payment method before bidding on Auct...

Store fee(s) for Shipping?

I've been mentoring a newbie seller since the beginning of the year and things are going pretty well, but the sheer number of listings he's got going now (approaching 300) are making a store subscription a good idea in terms of number of free listing...

Ebay's absolutely horrible track record on financing partners

Has anyone noticed the lower and lower quality of lenders in ebay's working capital "program". It started with Paypal Working Capital, which really was a quick and easy way to access capital: upfront fee, reasonable payments, etc. Then there was anot...

Funniest thing that happened to me all week

A buyer left me this message after she received her Lenox dishes. No mystery here…the plates are all wrapped in eBay’s multi-color tissue paper!

Anybody seeing blurry pictures when you view the collection of Photos?

When I go to view the set of pictures showing when you click the first photos mine all come out looking blurry. Not sure if this is a problem with my upload speed browser or some kind of glitch. The pictures look focused until you views them for the ...

Shipping

As I'm sure ya'll are aware -- postage is going up next month by 7.8% across all shipping methods and zones. I am a firm believer in passing those kinds of costs on to the buyer and I did not do a raise because of the last increase (just a few months...

Resolved! What does "1 people have this in their cart" mean?

Today is the first time I have seen this on one of my listings. I chatted with Ebay and they said it was a new feature but not sure what it means (besides the obvious). Do buyers typically add items to their cart before hitting the BIN key? I had tho...
