IPR?
I just noticed that my listings no longer disclose to the buyer that immediate payment is required. All of my listings are IPR. Did ebay remove that statement in the payment section of our listings?

Mine are still in tact. So many odd things on this site lately. People can pay with money orders and checks? Sales are being cancel to system problems? Top veteran sellers are being suspended with no explanation? Did eBay get hacked? Or are the programmers and IT's from Mars? You gotta wonder what's going on. Just my outlook.
Happy Selling

What does this mean?

This has been happening for decades. Even top selling veterans can break the rules or get too many dispute or pose a risk.

·2 years agoThere was a known issue with sales being cancelled with a vague message last week/beginning of this week, which was clarified by one of the blues to be that sellers were being mistakenly told to ship to a buyer's previous registered address (or maybe their main registered address, but not the one on the order if it was different, wasn't 100% clear to me). I assume that's what they're referencing.

Thank you! I knew I wasn't dreaming that one up since a replied to several who posted concerning this issue.

There were several posts concerning that sellers sales were being cancelled due to a system failure the other day. If I find it, I'll post it. The one that was posted yesterday concerning a veteran seller being suspended wound up being a spoof and a scam attempt. Imagine that?
Thanks always for your friendly replies.
Happy Selling.

·2 years agoI think what they are talking about is when a buyer clicks the Payment and Shipping section on the listing, under the payment section, it used to show immediate payment was required and it doesn't now.

·2 years agoThe money order and check thing is on Local Pick up as I understand it.
A few days ago sales were getting cancelled as there was issues with buyer addresses that the system created. I haven't seen any new complaints on this subject since over the weekend. Are you still seeing current complaints.
What I've seen is a seller reporting they got an email they were suspended, but their account was functioning as normal.
IDK why we have to jump to asking if we were hacked? I do wonder what is happening, but I do not jump to asking if we were hacked.

·2 years agoWith reading more about this, it is some kind of glitch in the programing. It is still not recommended that we accept money orders or cash.

"First, these other payment methods are only available in a few instances. And second, these payment methods are not eligible for the eBay Money Back Guarantee. So while they may be available in certain circumstances, they are still not recommended for your typical every-day transaction. "

Because it is one of the three bizarre problems going on at this point, basically all during the same time spans.
a) eBay giving out incorrect address to seller for shipping their parcels. This is an eBay issue, for which the sellers are taking the heat.
b) eBay is cancelling sales when neither the buyer nor seller initiated any cancel for some vague 'system issue'. They are removing the funds from the seller's accounts and refunding the buyers whether or not the products have been shipped. They are not making any plans for removing the defect/dings sellers are receiving for this, and if the seller gets a red donut for the eBay cancel action, eBay is denying removal of same.
c) Sellers have been surprised by some "hacking incidents" where buyers are issuing coupons or discounts to themselves that appear as seller generated (they are not). So, for example, a $2000. item ends up selling for $19.12. eBay is not helping with this either, not to mention if a phony snad is filed, the seller is on the hook for the coupon amount as well, that is going to cost much more than the $19.12 they got.
All in a day's fun and games around here while eBay customer service is still stuck in denial mode.

·2 years agoAre you sure about that? That's like saying if my local grocery store gives me a coupon to buy $5 of bread for $3, that when I go back to them to return the bread, they have to pay me $5, not the $3 I actually paid with the $2 off coupon.
If the buyer only pays $19 for a $2000 item, how can they be liable for the other $1981 return to the buyer? The coupon gave the buyer a discount, and the seller owes the buyer $19 in refund if the item doesn't work. I'm not sure how things work in the US, but in Canada the limit on the liability is what you actually paid. You cannot claim $1981 in damages because the item is "worth" $2000 and doesn't work.
That's like my box of bubble mailers from eBay coming across the border from the postal box in New York. I sent a receipt to the person picking them up that I paid zero for the envelopes, and $5.41 in sales tax. When those envelopes come across the border, the taxed amount is on what I paid, not on what the envelopes were selling for before I used a coupon.
Know what I mean?

·2 years agoBeing hacked is a serious thing. Some posters jump to that being the reason for strange things happening way too easily.
IDK about your point C. But I will say that individual accounts being hacked and the site being hacked are worlds apart and no where near the same thing.

Just wondering...I doubt we would be told one way for the other. Thanks always for your professional replies. Just a lot of questions concerning issues here in the last few days.

·2 years agoOh I'm with you on that. Last weekend so many things happened. I completely understand why there are questions, I just take issue with how some jump to a conclusion that is unlikely to be the issue at all but can scare the heck out of many members that only read these forums but do not post.
I said a few things in that post you are referring too, so if I missed answering what you wanted, just let me know and I'll try again.

·2 years agoUnable to see any of your listings but to the best of my knowledge eBay has not removed that feature. Are you using best offer on your listings by chance?
mam98031
·2 years agoSince you are posting with a posting ID, we can't see any of your listings. I think they recently moved where it appears on the listing form. It is right under the price on the form. Maybe check a few of your listings to see if the box is checked. Let us know what you find.

OP2 years agoSorry if I was unclear. My original question asks if ebay no longer shows buyers that an IPR listing is “immediate payment required� I scrolled thru a bunch of random eBay listings and haven’t seen a listing disclose “immediate payment required†thus far. Did eBay get rid of his long ago?
I recall eBay used to state that somewhere in the payment section of the listing.

@iamalwaysright
I have not seen IPR mentioned at all. It used to be under the BIN price for fixed priced listings. As a buyer, one would think I would notice it to avoid the buying problems it provides to me. If it is on the "second page" under some 'see more' link, I have not looked since most of what I purchase is sold in the auction format anyway. I will be sure if I spot a notice, or happen to go to the 'see more' I will let you know.
Do you notice a change in buyer behavior that would indicate your IPR requirement is not being honored? Can you have someone that knows your seller ID check for you? Check yourself using another browser/device or incognito mode?
iamalwaysright
OP2 years agoNo. I just noticed it used to be there and now it’s not. They could have removed it years ago and I just didn’t notice. That’s all. Kinda like how eBay added, then removed, then re-added the handling time disclosure.
People say they seen it displayed under the BIN price. I don’t see it there neither for any listing on ebay, do any of you guys?
