I am signing up for managed payments and it indicates that the Manage Payment fees will be charged on the sale price + shipping + sales tax.  Did Ebay always charge Final Value Fees on sales tax?   Did I just miss this calculation?   I understand why on the shipping costs, but not sales tax, unless that way it covers their expense to submit to the various states on our behalf.  Also, do I have to report this differently on my taxes since it could be a processing fee for submitting the taxes and not a fee for using a sales platform...  Maybe I am overthinking this...  ...

I`ve been in Managed payments for at least 6 months. For the last two months I can not tell how my monthly store subscription is being paid or IF it`s being paid. Up until a few months ago I had always paid on my account weekly using the "make a one time payment" option. I did have paypal as my automatic payment method but always preferred to pay as I go so I wouldn`t have a massive bill at the end of the month.   I cannot find in my paypal account, nor, my checking account, where I have paid my ebay store subscription for the last 2 months. When I go to the "make a one time payment" option it shows I owe zero. When ebay sent my monthly invoices for the last two months they are sending mixed messages(see screenshots). One invoice says I have auto pay and one says I dont.  One says I don`t owe anything but at the bottom it states otherwise.   Is ebay now taking my store subscription fees from my pending payouts? If so, where can I find it? I`m very confused and concerned because again, I don`t know what I owe, If I owe and want to keep my account in good standing.   ... View more

I'm a former buyer and now a new seller, still getting the hang of things and adapting to the changes on ebay seller hub as of late...   So I always had my items listed with 'buy it now' + 'immediate payment required.' Then I saw today an item somehow got sold with payment waiting... which shouldn't happen. I checked into my most recent listings and noticed that the 'immediate payment required' option was not even selected anymore... And I tracked back as far as 5/10/21 when this option stopped being applied to my newer listings. I think it might be due to the new revised seller hub, but that's just a guess.   Anyway, is there a way to apply this 'immediate payment required' option to 100+ live listings, rather than going into every single listing one at a time just to edit? I hope there's an easy answer to this that I'm overlooking... ... View more

Just curious, not that ebay would pay attention to popular opinion.   If you haven't noticed, ebay has gotten rid of unpaid items/strikes. This means when a buyer doesn't pay, there is no consequences whatsoever. If I'm not mistaken, you probably cannot even block buyers based on the number of unpaid item strikes any longer.   Additionally, you now have to wait at a minimum four days before you can do anything at all about unpaid items and even then your only option is to cancel. ...

Usually, I am able to open unpaid item cases Wednesday morning for auctions that ended on Sunday.  The button is missing from the drop-down menu in Manage orders awaiting payment. Is this an error on eBay's website, or has some policy changed?   I do not use the unpaid item assistant, I always open them manually after 48 hours of the end of the auction.  ... View more

I have a bidder whose account says he/she is in Chihuahua, but I blocked all countries outside of US when I made the listing. How did this happen? What is the protocol? I don’t ship outside US. I have attempted international in the past and it was a big hassle. I messaged the bidder and asked if he/she had a United States shipping address in PayPal. I’ve received no response. Should I cancel the bid?  Thank you  ... View more

Hi all   I would really appreciate any advice a seasoned or just knowledgable about packaging and shipping as a seller, anyone here can offer for a specific item of which I have 50, they are  6"x5" sticker sheets vintage and I am stuck trying to figure out packing, possibly offering free S&H and mailing out via USPS in a way that won't take all my profit!    My venture  has been on hold bc I just cannot believe how much it costs to ship something so lightweight. I understand that it needs to be packaged appropriately so the item is not damaged (thin like a piece of paper) and on eBay and other sites as well, one in particular, that would be perfect but after fees and shipping fees, I don't have a printer so I pay UPS to print  labels at $3.00 a label I am left with less than 50% of the sale!   Anyone with experience selling something similar in size? It's thin like a sheet of paper , yet cannot get damaged, so I was thinking an envelope with cardboard to stabilize or  rigid mailers?   Options so far: -6x9 rigid  mailer -6x9 padded envelope -5x7 envelope with card and cutout cardboard to help -Flattest, smallest box I can find   All via USPS as I think that is the least expensive and anyone know how much the best option would be, even a ballpark figure? I have looked at that site far too long!   How do I decrease the cost to the cheapest and still get a tracking number for the customer?   Looking for any insight, suggestions, advice, constructive criticism even, if you think I shouldn't offer free s&h and go another route I am open to any types of alternatives as well. Thank you! ... View more

It seems like more than a few of the fees don't add up on my eBay transactions. Can someone tell me if I'm crazy?   Here's one example.   I sold a Funko POP! for $19.99 with free shipping to someone in Lubbock, Texas.   Lubbock has a tax rate of 8.25%. which gives the transaction a total of $21.64 after tax.    The final value fee for this item is 12.35% of the transaction total + .30 cents   $21.64 x .1235 = $2.67 $2.67 + $.30 = $2.97 should be the final fee. eBay charged me $3.02.   Can anyone make sense of this? ...

Hello,   My wife and I have our own eBay accounts, both with stores.   On my account, Terapeak looks normal with all the options all the Terapeak eBay help screens and tutorials show. See my first image below for this one.   On my wife's eBay account, Terapeak is severely limited, showing only one line, and it's far more difficult to use than the other account's. I've never seen a one-line Terapeak screen before. See my second image below for this one. ->Any ideas on what is wrong with the second account's Terapeak? I see NO options to change it.

I find that I am often resistant to change, but once adjusted do usually find it for the better : ) In respect of seller hub though, I am definitely two-minded. Clearer, cleaner layout no denying but I was pretty comfortable for the most part with the previous format. Either way prepared to be flexible but one aspect do miss in new form is knowing how many watchers an item may have attracted. Previously, if I thought it wasn't likely to sell 24 hours ahead by virtue of registering little interest and watchers I'd consider discounting. Can't find that information in new selling hub and have to switch back to old style which is cumbersome. Are others finding same, am I missing something; before I pen my problem to eBay by way of feeding back on it? Thanks ... View more

I am just curious as to how other sellers would handle this. I know the easy way is just to cancel and move on but I feel like that is working against the UPI system. This is clearly not this buyers first time doing this. They wanted to secure an item and then keep shopping to see if another seller would consider a lower price.   I had a buyer send me an offer of $90 for an item that I had marked at $130, I countered at $99.99 and they accepted. Several hours later he/she messaged stating they would like to cancel because another seller accepted a lower offer that they had sent. Usually when I get a cancellation request outside of the hour window, I just cancel and move on because mistakes happen. However, in this instance I am inclined to just let the time wind down and give the buyer an UPI strike as they clearly are misusing best offers. If the buyer would have messaged saying that they made a mistake, I would not have hesitated but this type of issue happens way to often.   Just curious on the thoughts of other sellers? ... View more
