A few months ago, I sold a iPhone 5s and listed anything that was wrong with it in the description. Before listing a phone, I make sure to throughly check the cosmetic condition as well as any software issues that may be present. Anyway, the buyer cl...

My listing is requiring MPN, but there's no place to put it, no box for it

I was making a listing and when I tried to "List Item" at the end, little red warning thing popped up saying the item specific MPN is missing. BUT THERE WAS NO BOX FOR MPN like I've seen before. There was a place to put UPC, which I had. I looked ove...

Buyer wants me to ship item to a different address

This is a scam that I am well aware of where they tell me to ship to a different address then claim they never received the item. eBay, of course, will have their back and I will lose out on my money. What is the best course of action?

$1.18 Paypal fee on an action figure that sold for $20.00. Are fees higher now?

Hello: As the title says, I sold a WWE action figure for $20.00, with free shipping. Paypal took $1.18, instead of the $0.88 that was expected. Did I miss, yet, another raise in fees? Thanks for your attention.

Ebay continues to enable dishonest buyers with this policy

"Seller should cover the cost of return shipping and offer a paid return shipping" Right so not only will bad buyers buy merchandise, alter it for parts and such, damage it, and want to return it, but now seller also has to pay for the return shippin...

eBay has requested that the funds from this eBay sale be held temporarily

"eBay has requested that the funds from this eBay sale be held temporarily. Money that has been put on hold by eBay will move to your available balance automatically within 21 days." Received an email saying this. No idea why. Seems weird, and unfair...

Buyer requested refund, never returned item and barely responded after return deadline

So about a week ago, a buyer requested a refund and never sent it, and also gave me the option to give him a partial refund instead of a full refund. The 5 days that eBay stated that the buyer must return the item by has ended, and he just responded ...

Need Advice on Potential Scam

Picture Vanishing Drama again!

I was contacted by (2) buyers yesterday reporting I had only (1) picture but wrote, I had 10 pictures. Are pictures vanishing again?

Resolved! A buyer with evil intentions can steal anything on ebay and get away with it, essentially???

Let me see if I understand this correctly. So, basically if I, the seller, list a collectible that sells for $800. The buyer can pony up the money, I ship it out, he/she claims "item not as described" then proceed with putting discarded dryer lint in...

Funds with held for established 100% seller

On my older account (since 2000) which has 100% feedback, never an issue, never less than five stars started having funds with held today. eBay gave me no explanation. They kept stating "new seller" which I corrected several times that I am not a new...

Ebay sides with buyer on $550 item - Seller protection is a joke

So I have sold about 45 items in the past couple months with most valued over $400.00. I have one buyer that claims he received books instead of a $550.00 video card. I take pictures of all the items as they are being packaged and I always require si...

I have a 2 business day handling time. Buyer purchased on friday and opened a case on monday saying "doesn't seem authentic" because I hadn't shipped the item yet. I called ebay asking them to close the return because the buyer hadn't even received t...
