Hello. I have already paid for the item and I do not intend to make a fuss. I just did not pay attention, (my bad) to the shipping costs in the listing. As a former seller, (although for a short time and over a year ago) I can not reconcile the 10.75...

No Update on Package and No Answer from Seller

Want to ask a question of seller - eBay wants my physical address. WHY??

Subject says it all: Want to ask a question of seller - eBay wants my physical address. WHY?? Why can't it send the message via email as in the past?

Resolved! I used to be able to buy items with the buy-it-now option now it goes directly to checkout instead

This is very annoying, specially when sellers don't have the automatic deduction for shipping or when I'm at an auction and the same seller also has a BIN item, when was this changed? I used to be able to buy it now and pay it later, as a courtesy I'...

The user who retracted his bid for item 182745562397 has 206 bid retractions in the last 6 months. Is there any way to report this? I thought it was against the rules, it's obvious he is just abusing the system to find out what the current high bid i...
