eBay

sandmansales · ‎07-13-2018

I've had two for parts Apple TV 4th gen up for 3 days and they're not being shown. The ones below aren't mine. But if you want to lose weight, ebay has got you covered.

These glitches\changes\screw ups are unprecedented even for ebay. Surely this level of incompetence can't be an accident, can it?

If you really stop and think, how does anything make sense. Since we started offering free returns at the beginning of the year, our returns have gone up dramatically. As someone else mentioned....renting, in our case that's jewelry. Nice to be able to order a beautiful piece, wear it to an occasion then return it.

Then.....after forcing all these returns they say you're going to be charged extra FVF fees. BUT you get slapped with visibility and they turn your views off but since you're not getting any sales anyway that extra slice isn't going to hurt you at all.

Who it does hurt is the other sellers that you used to buy from. I had an email from one of my regulars wondering if I was ok? I told him what was happening and he said he was going to talk to his eBay manager for his store Yup, he's a TSR++++ and more. But he isn't very happy losing four grand a month either.
An honest person is not going to do this. She will only return if there isa problem.

A scammer will just file SNAD and return it on your dime

But at least hopefully you will not make someon so angry or desperate that they will damage it and then return it.
I agree an honest person isn't going to do this, however, since we did do our own test since the beginning of the year, I can assure that Free Returns caused an increase in returns. That is a fact, with real figures behind it.

Ours did immensely as well. I have a MSO seller health report that has our return rates on it. On the seler health report prior to free returns, and then after free returns, we went up nearly 1% in just 2 months.

If you look nowdays, the return rate is still going up, near 2% of an increase than we had before free returns...

This is one reason I am so worried that eBay is accurately checking the responsibility. Our returns drastically turned to "Buyers Fault" returns. So if you count our entire return rate, it went up a lot. But if you check returns we are responsible for... last time I did the math we actually improved. Buyers don't have to lie about a SNAD to get a return anymore. I am just not sure if this is actually being considered...

We have an advanced system for making sure we visually confirm our items to be packed before packing. It's extremely hard for us to make errors. I'm not sure anything better we could do on our end to affect the return rate...

Our SNAD's didn't go up, but other reasons went up. Now if you take an overall percentage it looks bad. My concern too is the responsibility and if they really are going to be properly able to discern it. I honestly don't think they will. Their goal is to increase cost and reduce benefits. FVF up.....TRS+ Down

It appears that if you wish to see ALL the listings in search results you now have to use the advanced search. Nice of them to let us know.

Reality is the leading cause of stress.

Advanced search was broken a couple of days ago, though.

Maybe during their fix for advanced search, they made an error somewhere and broke search with this new error?

I just called in & reported this issue. She let me know the tech team has not had a chance to look at it yet, but members are already reporting it. As more reports flood in, the likeliness that it will be addressed soon increases.

I think with all your anger you display here daily, you might consider a break, before you have a breakdown completely.

Good Luck Selling!
Goodluck,

I've done 5 posts since 6/28 (not including this one.). You have that beat just this morning and it's barely 10:30 AM CST. So before you attack others about what goes on here daily, you may want to do a fact check first.

I hardly think pointing out you tend to always have negative and angry posts is attacking you.

Good Luck Selling!

You can write all the negative posts you want. If it's the truth of how the site is messed up, then it deserves to be a negative post. Maybe some people just don't like the truth being pointed out.

Just a totally unnecessary point.

I'm starting to think that as soon as someone mentions something, we should all call in anyway.

I searched Apple TV 4th gen for parts

These are the US results not including remotes, cases and game controllers. Are any of them yours? A simple yes or no will do if you don't want to ID yourself.
