      Listing locked

      I have a listing I want to revise, specifically by using the background removal tool on the photos. There is a lock symbol on the photos and a message: Certain details can't be changed due to the current status of your listing. Hovering over the lock, a pop-up says "Sorry you cannot revise your listing if a bid or an offer has been made on it " This is not an auction, it is "buy it now," and the "make offer" toggle is turned off. It has been this way for a couple of days, maybe longer, and I did not realize it. There have been no notifications that any offer or bid was sent for the listing. What options do I have?

      I paid $300 for a GPU. I submitted a cancellation request. The seller’s account no longer exists. The item never arrived and the order/cancellation is not showing properly in my Purchases. I need the order cancelled and a full refund.

      How to protect yourself from buying fake gold on eBay?
                                                                                                                               

      The community has seen multiple discussions about purchasing fake gold, often at significant loss. With counterfeit items increasingly sophisticated and sellers often disappearing before detection, what steps can buyers take to protect themselves from scams? Should eBay implement stricter verification processes for sellers or offer better support for buyers who fall victims to counterfeit sales? Share your thoughts and experiences, and discuss potential solutions to this growing problem. We have purchased multiple bars of so called "gold" on Ebay. Ebay has taken in significant amounts of money in fees for these sales and then leaves the buyers high and dry when they find out the gold is fake. They changed their return policy recently, unknown to me to only 3 days to report a counterfeit piece of gold. I am wondering how many other people are having this issue? I am unable to escalate returns, report to keep others from being scammed or complete the return processes they do not have in place. I am thinking of contacting a lawyer and was wondering if anyone else would like to join? I have reports to the FBI and to USPS as the selling of counterfeit bouillon is a federal offense for anyone who profits from it.

      New Coin Condition Requirements
                               

      These new coin condition requirements are frustrating. It's bad enough that the half the grading services listed in the drop down are even approved by eBay but I have yet to find a company that offers a plugin that is compliant with the new requirements. It's like developers aren't even bothering with it.

      Adult magazine listings removed despite censoring images to comply with eBay policy – what am I missing?

      Recently, several of my listings have been removed from eBay in accordance with their Adult Items Policy. I took considerable care to ensure compliance by editing the preview images such that no explicit content, such as nipples, areolas, or private parts, was visible. After reviewing their policy thoroughly, I believed my listings adhered to the guidelines. Upon removal of a listing, eBay cites the Adult Items Policy but fails to specify the exact infraction. This has left me quite perplexed, despite my concerted efforts to modify covers and images appropriately, my listings continue to be taken down. I am reaching out to see if others have faced similar challenges recently. Is there an unpublicized rule or a new enforcement mechanism that might be eluding us? I would greatly appreciate insights from anyone who has successfully listed similar items without removal. What strategies have proven effective for you? My intention is not to seek loopholes—I genuinely wish to adhere to eBay’s rules. I would welcome any advice or tips from fellow sellers on how to navigate these regulations more effectively. Furthermore, I am curious to know if those successfully selling vintage adult magazines on eBay are encountering similar issues—is your content remaining listed, or do you experience removals despite thorough censorship? I am trying to ascertain whether this is an isolated incident or a broader issue related to policy enforcement.

      How can a Ukraine-based seller join the DDP pilot program to display the "Import fees included" banner?

      Hello everyone, I'm a seller from Ukraine shipping to the United States. All of my US orders are shipped Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) via Ukrposhta, meaning all import duties, tariffs, and customs fees are prepaid by me before shipment. My buyers never pay anything upon delivery. However, my listings display the following banner: "Due to US customs policies, the buyer of this item will need to pay import fees to the shipping carrier prior to delivery." I have noticed that some Ukraine-based sellers who opted into the DDP pilot program display a different banner instead: "This item includes applicable import fees—you won't pay anything extra after checkout." I have already contacted eBay Support multiple times and was even directed through the High Value Listings review process, which turned out to be unrelated to my original question. At this point, I'm simply trying to find the correct process. Could an eBay Mentor or eBay staff member please help me with the following questions? How can a Ukraine-based seller apply to join the DDP pilot program? Which eBay team manages the "Import fees included" banner? Is there an official Help page, email address, or application process? Are there any published eligibility requirements? I'm not asking about eBay International Shipping or permission to list items over $500. I'm specifically looking for the process that allows eligible DDP sellers to display the "This item includes applicable import fees—you won't pay anything extra after checkout." banner for US buyers. Any official guidance or contact information would be greatly appreciated. If anyone from eBay staff is reading this, I would be grateful if you could point me to the correct team, even if this request needs to be handled outside the Community. Thank you!

      MARKETING AND ADVERTISING

      I have been using marketing, but I am an individual not a store so I can't afford for any item to be at 12%. I put in no more than 10% on anything because if I do it eats up all of my profit. After putting in the percentage after clicking off it changes to a higher amount on its own. I just sold an item for $100 after the 12% that it is taking all on its own because I put 10%, I now have given the item away for free, but marketing and eBay still made a profit. How do I stop that from happening? I love eBay, marketing and for giving me an easy platform, but come on! I have been wondering if marketing was worth it?
