      eBay not showing full order history?

      I'm organizing bookwork and wanted to double-check all order history, but eBay only shows 6 over the past two years, which is incorrect. I have also double-checked that no orders have been accidentally archived. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

      Extend buyer offer expiration for businesses not open on weekends/holidays.
                                       

      I want to propose a feature request regarding buyer offers. Currently, offers expire relatively quickly, which creates an issue for sellers who operate on standard business hours. Our office closes on Fridays at noon and does not reopen until Monday at 8:00 AM. Because of this schedule—and even more so during long holiday weekends—we regularly miss out on offers we would happily accept because they expire while we are out of the office. It would be incredibly helpful if eBay added an option for sellers to manually extend the expiration date of an active buyer offer, or allowed us to set custom offer duration windows based on our business hours. This small change would help us capture more sales and prevent buyers from missing out on items. Is anyone else running into this issue with weekend expirations? Hopefully, the product team can consider adding this flexibility!

      Dear Steve, Thank you for clarifying the policy eBay is relying upon. I understand that eBay’s Money Back Guarantee policy allows an “attempted delivery” status to constitute evidence of delivery in certain circumstances. However, the same policy requires signature confirmation for orders totaling $750 or more. My order totaled $2,466.74 and was shipped through eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee program. I never signed for this package, nor did anyone accept or sign for it on my behalf. Your own review confirms that the June 29 event was only a delivery attempt and that the final tracking event states: “The customer has requested that the Postal Service redeliver this item on June 30, 2026.” You further confirmed that there has been no tracking update since. USPS accepted that redelivery request, subsequently lost the package, conducted an investigation, and ultimately confirmed in writing that it could not locate the package. USPS specifically directed me to seek a refund/replacement or pursue an insurance claim for the lost shipment. Therefore, I am asking eBay to address several specific questions: 1. What signature-confirmation evidence satisfies eBay’s requirement for successful delivery of this $2,466.74 transaction? If eBay considers the June 29 attempted delivery sufficient to deny my claim, please provide the signature confirmation or other evidence eBay is relying upon to satisfy the signature requirement applicable to an order of this value. 2. For what amount was this shipment insured? The card was authenticated, packaged, and shipped from eBay’s authentication facility. I therefore did not purchase the postage or insurance and do not have access to the mailing documentation showing the insured value. 3. Has eBay, its authentication partner, or its shipping partner filed or received an insurance claim relating to this lost package? This distinction is important. eBay is currently treating an attempted delivery as completed delivery for purposes of denying reimbursement to me, while USPS has formally concluded that it cannot locate the package and specifically identified an insurance claim as a remedy for the lost shipment. If eBay or its partner purchased insurance covering this shipment, I respectfully request clarification as to how that insurance is being handled and who is entitled to any indemnity payment resulting from the loss. The seller successfully delivered the card to eBay’s authenticator. eBay authenticated the item and subsequently shipped it to me. I immediately followed USPS procedures after the unsuccessful delivery attempt and requested redelivery. USPS then lost the package while it remained in its custody. I have now spent weeks attempting to resolve the loss of a $2,466.74 item that everyone involved acknowledges I never received. I am not asking eBay to disregard its policies. I am asking eBay to apply all of them and address the documented circumstances of this loss. Please provide: The signature-confirmation evidence relied upon for this transaction; The insured value of the shipment; Whether an insurance claim has been or will be submitted for the loss; and Escalation of my case for further review if no valid signature confirmation exists. I have provided USPS’s written documentation establishing that the package could not be located. I respectfully request that eBay address these questions directly rather than referring me back to USPS, as USPS has already completed its investigation and directed me back to the sender/shipping party. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jack Schaffer

      System error allows 3 buyers for a single listed item. One canceled order left a negative review. EBAY- denied my request for removal because I canceled the order not the buyer, even though that's what I was informed to do by the EBAY help chat.

      I've been an ebay member and buyer since 2005. Less than two weeks ago, I started selling my old collectibles on ebay. I made over 40 sales and everything was going smooth. Then, I listed a single item last Friday and when I woke up, I had 3 different buyers who had bought and paid for the item. I double checked the listing and it was listed as a quantity of 1. Through the help chat and articles it said I had to cancel the extra orders. I canceled two of the orders and explained what happened. One of them who is a reseller, left me negative feedback after I explained. I sent him screenshots verifying everything and asked that he take down his review. He hasn't responded and ebay denied my request for the removal of the negative feedback because I was the one who canceled the order and not the buyer, even though that's exactly what I was informed to do from the same help chat. My rating went from 100% to 83%. Any other sellers ever experience anything like this? Any suggestions beyond contacting the buyer again and requesting removal? Thanks in advance.

      Buyer opened INAD return but is trying to resell the cards before returning them – What should I do?

      Hi , I’m looking for some advice regarding two return requests from the same buyer. The buyer purchased 8 trading cards from me across two orders (7 cards in one order and 1 card in the other). I shipped all 8 cards together in one package. The buyer later opened returns as “Item not as described” , claiming there were condition issues with the cards. I accepted the returns in good faith and purchased a Mondial Relay return label at my own expense so he could send all 8 cards back together. However, after I provided the return label, the buyer told me via eBay messages that he would try to resell the cards first . He said that if he managed to sell them, he would keep them, but if he couldn't sell them, he would return them to me. He then suggested another option: keeping some of the cards and returning only the ones he considers to be in worse condition. I told him that I cannot accept a partial return . The price was agreed based on purchasing the complete group of cards, so my position is that he should either keep all 8 cards or return all 8 cards for a full refund . The return currently still shows that the buyer has not shipped anything . My concern is that I have already paid for the return label, while the buyer is keeping the return open as a backup option while trying to resell the cards. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Should I simply wait until the return deadline, or is there something I should do through eBay now to protect myself? And if the buyer sends back only some of the 8 cards despite me not agreeing to a partial return, how should I handle the refund? Thanks in advance for any advice from other sellers.

      High-Value Return Fraud: 40-Lb Weight Discrepancy Ignored & Unfair Negative Balance

      "I am looking for advice or insight from other sellers who have dealt with high-value return fraud. Completely unacceptable. I was left with an unfair negative balance of $6,000 because eBay completely ignored a documented 40-pound weight discrepancy on a fraudulent return. I shipped 78 lbs of high-value industrial inventory, and the buyer manipulated the return to send back a fraction of that weight. Instead of investigating actual mail fraud and grand larceny, support hid behind automated delivery scans and dismissed an official federal IC3 cybercrime report as 'having nothing to do with eBay.' Offering a tiny fee credit while sticking a seller with thousands in losses due to platform-enabled fraud is disgraceful. Has anyone else successfully fought a negative balance when carriers and tracking data proved a massive weight shortage? Any advice on next steps would be greatly appreciated."

      Order Case Appealed but Taking Longer than 48 Hours, Automated System ZERO Help, HELP!
                                                                                                                               

      Hello, I submitted a case to eBay for an item that I did not receive to get a refund. I did not receive the item but the seller listed it as delivered and therefore the original case was closed. I submitted an appeal, but it's been over two weeks and have not heard back from eBay even though ebay said they should reach out to me within 48 hours. For the appeal, I reached out to the post office and they stated the item was shipped to a different address, and the packaging did not fit the dimensions of the listing on eBay. They provided tracking details with the different address and a picture of the parcel, which I included in the appeal. When I call or chat with the automated system it says that my case is closed and that I can't appeal. However, when I click on the purchase history of the item, I can see the case appeal details and that it is not closed. I'm not sure what to do. This item was over 400 dollars. I feel like I got scammed by a loophole. Is there a way for me to reach an actual agent who can look at this case? Any community help is appreciated! Hopefully eBay will help my appeal. Thank you!
