      "Buyer wants to shop more."? Ohhh, eBay. Such a comedian these days. Wow.
                                                                                                                                                                                                       

      Um, yea.  Oh, hey there lil' seller.  My buyer wants to shop a little more, umm, k?  Only 7 days or so.  OK, thanks Seller.   - the worlds BIGGEST marketplace even the way it's written says 'eBay snotty'. "Buyer wants to shop morrrrre". OK there, eBay. Wow   Buyer won an auction.  Apparently some 'beta' program that who/when/why/how guy, buyer, scammer was opted into has reared it's ugly head again and I'm the lucky seller this time around?  Yea baby.   Can someone please enlighten me on this.  Small sale, but wow eBay, wow.  Just more stand up comedy from the 'world's largest marketplace'.  Unreal.     This is the 2nd time I've seen this.  First time around, the buyer didn't pay (yep, after 7 days).  Had to re-auction the item and it sold for over 25% less - just a mere ~$45 ish loss 15 days later.  Oh, and yea - unable to leave the a buyer negative feedback - that's right.     Someone has got to start getting this stuff out on X or find a fun, creative way to have a good time with this comical nonsense.  Borderline criminal.. definitely disrespectful, yet again.   Please, can someone please enlighten me?  Perhaps, not with the token corporate pompom's?  Day after day, after day...  selling on here just keeps getting more and more bizarre.     Buyer wants to shop more lol.  Wow.

      eBay Customer Service, help? Anyone?
                                       

      A few weeks ago, my payouts were put on hold, and I’m really confused about why or how to resolve it. I’m still selling and shipping items, but I can’t receive my payments. The only message I’ve received is that my payouts are on hold due to an action on my account, and I should check the email in Messages in My eBay for the next steps . However, I’ve repeatedly checked and never, have I once, received any such message(s). I’ve tried searching for how to contact customer service, but I can’t reach anyone or find any assistance. I just keep hitting dead ends. Could someone please guide me on what to do next? I’m feeling quite desperate.

      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.

      Delivery issue
                               

      I was selling a digital item, buyer received everything he bought so I went to the eBay app and selected “mark as shipped” but it still didn’t say delivered and my payouts have been on hold since. Any way to get it to say delivered?

      EBAY USER (23yrs) held last three payments!!
                                       

      This has happened to me in the past and had to call every time. They said it would happen randomly to random people. So I figured the first sale was just that, nope the next two the same **bleep**.  I have 100% feedback of 23yrs. Then they tell me it’s “Situational” like what? How am I red flagged? ”You’re not Sir”.  They can’t even tell me why I have to deal with this, how is that legal? Please any help or if people are fighting against this let me know where and how.  Calmer heads prevail but this is frustrating, not I have two sales and have to decide what to do, I’m ready to cancel my account if it gets any worse.

      Listing price different from what I entered
                               

      Hello, yesterday I listed an item for sale on a buy-it-now basis for £5 or best offer.  However, for some reason, eBay is listing my item for £5.92!  On the Active page, it arrears for £5.00, however when I open the listing or search for my own item, it's showing as listed for £5.92.  Why is this happening?

      !!ebay!! WHY DO SO MANY STILL HAVE NO IDEA YOUR FORCING A FUNDING SOURCE TO BID ON THEIR AUCTION?
                                                                       

      AND WHY IS THE OPTION TO TURN IT OFF STILL BURIED SO DEEP IN YOUR LABRINTH OF SETTINGS NO COULD FIND IT EVEN IF THEY KNEW WHAT YOU'VE DONE? Seven auctions this past weekend, had no idea what I was talking about asking them to turn it off? Five of those auctions ended with no bidders and one ended up relisting with a "Buy it Now" so I could purchase it?   And out of ALL of those I have asked prior, only one was able to find the setting and turn it with just minutes left. And he still had to give away a LEATHER LEVIS'S TRUCKER JACKET FOR UNDER $268! There were 4 others watching that surely would have bid higher had they not been forced to hand over their their card. Because they rarely sell for less than $400. I was smart enough to take a screen shot this time to explain why I didn't drive the bid up higher. I had a $350 bid just waiting for the final seconds (I don't leave time to be out bid). I will just attach the screen shot I sent him, after all, a picture is worth a 1000 words. I ran out if time due a reoccurring glitch in ebay's perfect system. I will say I personally called CS the first time it happened I couldn't convince then there system was flawed because I wasn't quick enough to capture a screen shot. I wasn't about to make the same mistake twice, and there's your proof, I just couldn't remember which ending time was right so I ran out of time.  It's funny, I remember when you buried the "Immediate Payment" option leaving it defaulted it to OFF. I was told it was to allow more people the opportunity to purchase my items. No one even considered the fact that someone might not pay at all.  Personally, if I were dumb enough to be holding stock in ebay, Id rather take my chances on a non paying bid than not have any chance/bids at all.  I know if any of you ebay fan boys or girls made it this far your just itching to kiss some ebay a**. But before you leave some well thought out comment like "That's how every auction house works." You show me an auction house where you might get what you won or you might get something that's not even close. It might show up in one piece or it might not if it even shows up at all?  Oh, and they make you wait a month for a refund while you wait for a response from someone who isn't even a registered user anymore!  How about this one... show me an auction house where most of their items are considered an "open box" because it must have been in a box that was opened at some point and time, right? Show me just one and I will hand over my credit card with no questions asked, until they use it to pay a stalker anyway... come on, that was funny 😄 After successfully finding the option to turn off the funding source with just minutes to spare... the auction ends with a minute left on the bid windows clock. Way to go ebay!!!
