      Help and Contact Page Useless
                                                                                                                                                                                                       

      I made two purchases from two different sellers. They said their product was delivered but NO it wasn't or I never received it. I contacted both sellers who were no help at all, so I've been trying to contact eBay. This process is totally impossible! I cannot send an email to report the seller because eBay doesn't have an option for no seller name and won't send it without one. I don't have a name because the purchases are no longer in my purchase history NOR are the sellers showing up in eBay. How do I get a record of the emails between us. How do these things just disappear? I've tried for days to contact eBay but their contact and help page is a joke. Nothing leads to nothing. I've been on an endless circle trying to get this resolved. AI doesn't help it only says the same thing repeatedly. EBAY YOU NEED TO DO BETTER! How can I report these sellers without a name or no longer in my history? I sent a call request to no avail, twice! I've sent an email they offered on their page, finally, to no avail. How do I get a hold of a human at eBay and how can I get my money back? I am so frustrated I could scream! This is unacceptable customer service! We spend our money here we should be able to talk to someone if we come across a problem that your "help" page does not cover! Again, eBay do better and send me my two refunds.

      Hi everyone! I'm new to eBay selling, and I was hoping to connect with other small business owners here in Indianapolis, IN. My eBay page is primarily resale (I have some fantastic items and lots more to list!) PLUS, I am a digital designer focused on branding solutions and EPIC digital imagery! Anyone out there interested in chatting about successes, failures, and what to do vs. what not to do? What successes have you found in navigating the eBay marketplace? What challenges or failures have you encountered, and how have you overcome them? What strategies or practices have you found most effective, and what have you learned to avoid? Feel free to share your thoughts and connect with others who are excited about eBay selling and digital design. Looking forward to hearing your stories!

      Scheduled listings vs. creating new listing everyday
                                                       

      I normally take all my pictures on the weekend and hopefully am able to create the listings and then schedule them out over the week.  My question is does the algorithm use the scheduled listing the same as a new listing that I list the same day?  Or is that hurting me in anyway?

      HOLDING ON TO MY CHEERISHED MEMERSHIP
               

      I would like to address this as An Alternative Resolution Dispute and start off by making a fee valid points of how the relationship with eBay Inc and The Member is defined Being a merchant involves actively engaging in the buying and selling of goods or services, typically for profit Engaged means having a formally agreement So if the items sells I have to pay a fee for eBay's engaging in this business of mines as a merchant, which makes eBay a merchant and lets not forget an entity, and a good candidate for the Public Inquiry Unit and lets not forget the simply put Complaint Against a Business So, as of 11 months now, I am currently on the fifth member account with eBay due to suspension's. Just to let you know is all it takes to be a member is a new email address. I have been of violating silly rules, that only the opinionative. and stuck up would rule against of an unpopular soul like me. So, that is how I feel unless there was something bigger, i was not informed on, that the vigilantes accuse me of knowing what I did, but I promise you I am niave to my crime and not only am I naive, the nerve of people to leave my out of what a lot of what I did wrong, if I did in fact do something wrong. So ebay, likes to send me a email stating what it could be and in that email/letter is has one on many things I could, be suspended for, and with the some of the things I am suspended for, I can only guess what it might be. Yet with my guess of what it might be for what I am suspended for, I am still left out of the story of conviction, leaving still naive to the rules, because I am left out of a lot of things that is going on behind the scenes, lets be reminded that I believe and maybe eBay disagrees with is the due process of the 6th Amendment of The United States, which states, who your accusers are, which is not as important, as the very important, what I am being accused of. Once again those letter/messages from eBay where very uninformative of what exactly I have done and I believe that if eBay is going to let suspended people sign up for another account, that eBay should let this suspended person exactly what they have done, which suggest this suspended person might not have done anything it is just a gamed of picking on the unpopular, for popularity gains. So as I am on my 5th eBay Membership I like to talk about more unfairness going by people who let me sign up for the community but treat me like an outsider. As I currently write, I have listed as of 18 hours ago a few items I found of my ownership, lying around, that I thought it would be fun to put on eBay. Yes my life is so boring and I feel if I want a future I am going to have to act. and get something going. So as it is hour 18 since the three items have been posted on eBay and in my items selling folder, they are suspiciously not showing up in the search box. Now as a buyer, I am do get to but items, yet it seems the sellers are in no hurry, to send away the items, i purchased. I mean, I would not buying thing if I did not need things. So why would a seller not want to send the item I purchased, for one to three days and sometimes never, I find it discriminatory and that for some strange reason strangers just do not like me. For what reason would a stranger not like me? There has to be some unfair surveillance going on where someone more important then little ole me, would influence people in to not walking the high morale ground and be more fair to a human, This is a violation of human rights and all I have left is my dignity. Now I remember back at the beginning of the century, where every transaction, purchase, and sell went very well, and I would like to ask what happen to the good ole days, where interactions with one and anther were very friendly-like and there were not sore statements left. Also as far a speed with the transactions bought and sold, Amazon, is leaving eBay in the dust, I mean the option of a member to not have for three days or even more to send out the item is demeaning to the integrity of any establishment and there should be rules to make some seller get off their lazy behinds and get to the Post Office. Now personally I have tried making my own web site from scratch and tried Amazon Associates Affiliates and Google AdWords, and there seem to be dishonesty in that. Either Amazon Associates did not credit me from the sells Google AdWords said I made or Google AdWords lied about the sales I made. So, wouldn't be nice to a forum were I could put up anything I want, to sell, for a small fee, How about eBay?

      Anyone have trouble with verification taking a long time?
                                                       

      I tried to verify my account on September 14th of this year. There was and still is a blue banner on my account which says that my information is being reviewed.   I found it was taking a long time so I reached out after a week and was told to resubmit the documents but the information was not reviewed and as the blue banner was still there a week later I reached out again, and was asked to resubmit the information again but use a different form of ID, so I uploaded my passport. So far I've uploaded my ID and passport.   There was no response for a little over a week so I reached out again. The agent said after reviewing the account, the ID was verified but the blue banner was still there because I had to submit a bank statement so I uploaded the bank statement on the 13th of October but the blue banner is still across the account.   So I reached out again but then another agent told me that my ID was not verified yet nor my bank statement so they sent me a link to resubmit the documents but the link doesn't allow me to upload a new document It just tells me thank you, we're reviewing your submitted information.   So I've been trying to do so for a month now but with no real progress and was wondering if anyone went through the same thing.. and if there's anything I can do to expedite the process?

      Good add-on lenses for better iPhone photos
               

      i've been actively selling for about 3 years (been a member since 2004)  and am getting frustrated at the quality of my photos.  I've looked on Amazon for add-on lenses but just get confused as to which would be best for increasing the quality.  Suggestions and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

      URGENT - Listing through Datafeedwatch
                               

      Hi,   I've been try to create a listing via Datafeedwatch but I'm unable to do so. The connection is properly established but still the listing isn't coming up on eBay US. I've tried several times.    Datafeedwatch shows that the channel feed is ready but still the listing doesn't come up on eBay. I tried to talk to their support they told me that everytime item has been sent to the SFTP server from their side. It's an issue from the eBay side and only eBay can resolve this. When I talk to eBay support they say that we can't help you because we don't endorse 3rd party tools. It's quite frustrating from me because I wasn't able to list a single item via Datafeedwatch from the past 1.5 week.    Can anyone help me in this?

      Ebay account 22 yrs 100% feedback, I'm done.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

      Final straw:   Mailed a box 12x21x12 25lbs   Was charged $22.75   Ebay emailed an adjustment the dimensions were adjusted to:   Mailed box 12x24x12 25lbs   An additional $23.00 was added to the cost.   No, the dimensions were not incorrect, verified by UPS Store before they accepted it.   I can't dispute, I can't find a human to speak to.   Don't feel like typing the list of other issues since Ebay was curtained by India.   Nothing I can do about it.   Done.
