Hello, I haven't actively been selling in awhile and ran into two issues this week. 1) A buyer purchased an item and wanted to cancel it prior to me shipping. I agreed and went to cancel the order. When it was time to refund the buyer my only option ...

Feedback advice (kind of wordy)

I've had this account for around 4 years that I've only used for buying the odd item, and I only started selling in the last month. I collect buttons, so I'm basically just recouping my button jar spends by selling the ones I don't want to keep. It's...

Ebay standard envelope tracking failure has resulted in seller status falling to 'Below Standard.'

For several years we have used the standard envelopes to ship items at a total price point of $4.99 and lower. These have been an ongoing problem for many sellers (google similar problems) and Ebay apparently has no desire to correct them. The standa...

Resolved! Negative Feedback

I just had a buyer leave me terrible negative feedback and Ebay sided with the buyer. If anyone knows a phone number to contact Ebay and speak with a real person, I would appreciate it. They absolutely need to hear the whole story. Also, why aren't w...

Buyer changed shipping address after payment

Ok this is the first time I ever had this happen. This isn’t my fault. I shipped an item out today that was put in the mailbox last night and the buyer told me this morning (before I had a chance to check the messages) that they forgot to update thei...

Ebay's suggested Promo rates

I had to laugh when I just created a new listing, and ebay suggested a promo rate of 15.5%. Decided to run an experiment by jacking up the price accordingly and going with their suggestion.I'm pretty sure it'll end in disaster, but I'll let it run th...

Resolved! Why does Ebay want to change/decide everyone's calculated shipping settings?

Just received an email from Ebay stating that on May 15 they are going to change shipping settings for everyone who uses calculated shipping. They have decided that it is our best interest to offer our shipping discounts to our buyers directly. This ...

Resolved! The New Sports Card Authentication System is Rigged

I wanted to warn as many sellers of Sports Cards as possible, as to the rigged Authentication System. It is set up to completely damage the credibility of the seller, and promote their self interests. I just sold a high dollar sports card, pictures o...

eBay has a warning on a message from potential buyer that I have them blocked but I don't

Received a message from a potential buyer today that eBay wouldn't let her buy an item because she'd already bought from me within 10 days and she hadn't. I don't have a rule about 10 days. But in the message was a warning from eBay that I have this ...

Resolved! T/F: sales tax unknown, and so seller fee unknown at time of listing?

(Brand new seller)As best I can tell, the seller fee on an item is based on the total amount the buyer pays, including sales tax. The sales tax rate to a U.S. buyer could range from 0% to almost 10%. So the seller doesn't know the eBay fee until the ...

Trying to Offer Ebay Discounted Shipping Rates to Buyers
