Resolved! Just my friendly rant INAD

Just received a return from Puerto Rico. Lady bought the product because she just wanted to try it. She filed an INAD to return it (at my expense of course, go figure). So I send the Ebay label for the return even though the item is no longer of valu...

Legality of buying or selling a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) only

I am not sure why eBay allows this?While there is no law that explicitly prohibits buying or selling a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) by itself, it is a practice heavily associated with fraud and carries significant legal risks. The act is illegal...

Autopay in 7 days?!

What is this crap? Just sold an item and it says: Autopay at Jan 17 7:00pm PST Buyer wants to shop moreThey may check out early I have to wait 7 days for eBay to process their payment? That is awful.
