$500 listing limit for sellers not based in U.S.

OK, as we know it eBay recently changed listing limit for sellers based outside of U.S. from $2'500 to $500. We mostly know the reason for that, uncertainties about new import rules and tariffs justify the caution. But the way this problem was approa...

Can I return a buyer's money and cancel a transaction without risk of bad feedback?

Buyer won an auction and then said he wouldn't pay. He started messaging me questioning the condition of my item. It is mint condition and described as so, with clear pictures. He eventually paid and continues to be a real jerk about it. If I refund ...

Canceled a winning bid because they "found it cheaper elsewhere."

So, I'm getting rid of a friend's books via auction to, well, get rid of them--whatever the price. Hence, no Buy It Now sales, where we have to wait around for someone to decide to take it. A newbie buyer just asked to cancel after winning the bid fo...
