Unable to leave negative feedback on “Qualified” seller until a week passes?

Why is this even a thing? Shouldn’t you be able to leave negative feedback on all sellers if they deserve it without having to wait? I now have to wait a week before leaving a warning about a seller who falsely advertised and refuses to be of any hel...

Bought an item, it does not appear on the "sold Items" section nor on the sellers sold items list

Resolved! Bidder Frustrations

Am I the only that gets annoyed when people agressively bid? I don't think some people realize this, but you DON'T need to be the highest bidder at all times to win an aution. I'll literally scope something out for days waiting to bid on it, then I'l...

Buyer re-paid for canceled order.

A buyer purchased a listing with 2 two available but said there was a problem paying shipping and asked to cancel the order. The buyer said that they still wanted to purchase the item, so I relisted the two as a set because that seemed like an apropr...

stamps

I don't know why most stamp dealers on ebay choose to call a "regummed" stamp and a "no gum" stamp, both as "unused". They quote scott cat. prices for their benefit, well, scott states "values for pre-1890 unused issues are for stamps with approximat...

Resolved! "Request total from seller" was automatically rejected but still committed me to buy

I wanted to purchase two items from an international seller so shipping would be expensive for them. I used "Request total from seller" to see if they would offer combine shipping for the items. The items are trading cards so shipping should be easy ...

Is it OK for sellers to invent their own Model numbers for things?

I realize that being a collector and a Commodore history buff makes me more than a bit **bleep** about some things, but this eBay listing for a Commodore CM-141 monitor, which has been around for several months, bothers me. He calls it a "1903", but ...

Fake travel vouchers

What's the best way to draw ebay's attention to a niche scam? For a couple of years, I've been watching Amtrak vouchers being sold, and 99% of them seem to be from brand new sellers who list 1 voucher, sell (or don't) and are never heard from again. ...
