Can I cancel a return and then ask ebay to step in? Or ask ebay to step in with a return open?

Bought a sports card last week. The card was initially listed at $19.99. The picture made it seem like it a dark blue prizm so I added it to my watch list. A few days later I received a 50% off offer. So I accepted at $9.99. The picture made it seem ...

Missing Item

I placed an order as a guest. The item didn't arrive, but it says it was delivered. The ebay chatbot won't let me talk to customer service because it can't find my order number. Does anybody know how I can reach a real human in customer service?

Items from watched list magically "suggested" on Aliexpress

Printer Friendly Page button missing

I can't find the button anymore on the order details page for any of my purchases. Did they make an announcement saying they were getting rid of this or is this a bug?

I realized I got scammed with a counterfeit after 6 months

Hi all, I bought this Tumi backpack from a Japanese seller for a decent deal. Thinking that there is a very strict counterfeit policy would reduce the risks. After using it for a few months, I realized there was a puncture on the bag. So I sent it to...

Resolved! Seller accidentally relisted an item already sold weeks ago, and I won. How to resolve?

I'm a long-time seller and occasional buyer, and have never experienced this from either side. 17 minutes before an auction ended, I saw I was still the only bidder. I checked back later and saw I won, but also saw that, minutes before the auction en...

Resolved! Should I report a false positive review to ebay?

I have bought a lot of cards on eBay and it's almost always a positive experience. There are lots of ways to mail trading cards and I have seen some sketchy packaging, but the cards are usually ok. This past week I got a cheap (<$20 after shipping) l...
