Feedback Left for Others, ("Buyers that leave way too many Negatives")

Recently I sold an item and as customary I inspect a Buyers "Feedback Left for Others", upon opening the buyers feedback for others, my first thought was this guy is Color Blind, NO, just kidding, I opened to 200, and counted 149 Negatives of Others,...

Biggest mistake ever made by eBay getting rid of important categories replacing with item specifics

My best year on eBay was 1999. There were no item specifics but plenty of important categories to help buyers find things. In order to promote item specifics whose use is very questionable and tedious, eBay removed dozens of important categories. eBa...

I think it is wrong that defects in Tracking Uploaded cannot be appealed

This post is for sellers that are rated top-rated or aspire to be top-rated. Recently, my seller's level fell from a top-rated seller to "above standard", so I looked into the issue and found that I have several defects in the category of " Tracking ...

Can't leave a feedback.

I purchased an item that the seller never sent. I couldn't open the case on the item and had to contact ebay. Case is now closed and ebay refunded me. I tried to leave a feedback but it was not published. I want other potential buyers to know how thi...

Why does eBay Tax Shipping and Handling Fees?

I'm a very active eBay buyer and recently I looked into the 'sales tax' that eBay charges. It turns out that eBay not only taxes the item sales price, but also adds in the shipping and handling charges prior to calculating sales tax. I believe this n...

Do you recall when auctions seemed to begin to fail?

I believe it was in 2008 when I posted 65 auctions in an attempt to get a quick cash flow. 6 of them sold for about $22. lol I've done very few auctions since then. This isn't a more recent trend. Auctions never had a moment when they returned to pop...

Resolved! Markdowns and Shipping Discounts

I'm going to run a markdown sale sometime soon (thinking of trying postcards, and perhaps stamps that aren't selling very quickly). Will the buyer be able to add the markdown items to their cart and check out and still get the combined shipping disco...

Facebook scammers coming to eBay????

Just had a user with 0 feedback, 4 month old account, message me through the "question about returns" option, and ask "Is this xxxxx still available?" Sounds like a Facebook Marketplace message! How would you all respond?

Feedback on items

Idon't like to submit feedback on items, because the seller is never happy unless you rate the item as excellent. I've even had a seller refuse to sell to me because I gave a few negative asessments, claiming that I'm never satisfied even though I've...

USPS keeps not scanning packages as delivered and customers are saying they are not getting the item

This is a huge issue. How can I get passed this problem. This is causing me to loose so much money. I have at least 15 packages in the past month that say shipped and In transit to the next facility but they for sure were delivered. Out of those 15 p...

New All-Time Low-No Replies Needed

I have reached a new all-time low, one sale in the past 14 days, I know the cheerleaders are going to say it's my fault, my inventory, my this, my that, BLAH BLAH BLAH, & to those I say you are Very Wrong!, This has become a pitiful place to try & co...

So annoying to keep getting offers every time I look up things for a price check.

Don't know who does this. The seller or eBay, but its really annoying. When someone wants to buy something, they will reach out the to the seller themselves .

Got a message about shill bidding

I`m highly insulted. Anyone else ever get one of these messages?
