Return surge

Returns have never been much of an issue for me and can't remember the last one I had before last week. 4 returns in one week and 3 were remorse or doesn't fit. I genuinely made a mistake with the 4'th and just refunded the guy letting him keep items...

Is there anyone who currently offers SKU-based Volume Pricing? I need a quick assist if you do.

Typical Volume Pricing is where you have multiples of the same item in one listing. No problems there. You also can offer Volume Pricing on single-item listings, IF the eligible listings have the same SKU. I used this form of Volume Pricing during De...

Resolved! Best Offer & Listing Duration

Hi, ever since Ebay updated their Selling page (which is ATROCIOUS) I cant seem to find the option to change my listing's duration and to exclude a best offer. I'm trying to list a fixed price but it looks like Auctions are the only ones with duratio...

Does Forced Best Offer Conflict with E-bay User Agreement?

Dear E-bay members, Yesterday I started a discussion about E-bay adding Best Offer to sellers' listings without their consent. Thank you for all your contributions. I learned a lot from your opinions. Some of you noted that by using E-bay services I ...

IS GTC WORKING FOR YOU?

For myself it is destroying my store with almost no sale. They claim there stats show more sales on GTC, but it is the large company that were listing hundreds or thousands on GTC. Were as the small guy with only 10 or 20 listing who were not using G...

Auto-listed Auctions keep watchers, too

I autolisted several auctions Sunday night by accident. That was annoying, but the result was interesting. The listings kept their watchers and urls as if they were GTC.

Does eBay inform BUYERS about the changes in fixed priced listings to "good til cancelled"?

I wonder what buyers will think of this change? Will they even be told? It is going to be a huge change in how a lot of us do business! So many of my customers wait until an item is about to end to send an offer, or purchase a fixed priced item. I an...

What are the 2018 rules for reporting ebay sales? Is it 20,000 a year and over 200 in sales?

New 30 day listing question

Trying to understand new 30 day rule. If item doesn't sell, does it automatically relist after 30 days or at the end of the month in which it was listed?

Messed up for the first time. Need advice.
