Someone asked me if I could possibly mail an item he wanted to buy...but apparently said Local Pickup only. When I looked at the item on my laptop, I saw the usual three shipping options, as well as Local Pickup.
Where/why was he seeing Local Pickup Only?
...How many potential sales have I lost because people saw Local Pickup as the only shipping option?
Hi @vrykalak - definitely sounds like an unusual one off, and one you can work with CS to report should it happen again. If you have a specific item number example we can take a look we're happy to review if you'll let us know!

I've been reporting them since the first time they appeared. I didn't think any of it as they usually are addressed in about 2-3 months max.
Some of these sellers have been going on for over a year since they did some huge change.
If Ebay wants to go in the right direction it should start with forcing people to move there product or take them down if they are misleading or selling used product in new section and saying it's new when it even shows the parts are 10 years old that come on it.
This will help sales because it will stop giving it to the misleading scammers.
Reported Non stop and I would call about it a lot and ebay sees it as wrong but can't do anything about it.
It's really corrupt and messed up.
Hi @xxlostspiritxx, as we've mentioned before, we have taken your reports and passed them along to the appropriate teams. We also encourage you to report anything that you believe may violate policy. While I understand your concerns, the outcome of a review will not be shared with you and as such, we do not have any new information to add to this conversation.

my question is what is ebay doing to fix all the issues and bugs on the platform - especially the horrid search issues? Many sellers have been concerned to this and ebay certainly has the people to fix these things.
Hi @nuclearomen - our tech teams work hard to correct technical problems, review reports of possible tech issues as well as working with appropriate teams to get your feedback about pain points and suggest future product enhancements. If there's a specific issue you're running into we're happy to help if you'll get us more detail!

I have noticed two cases in the last few weeks where I get notice of an offer...but someone else buys the item--for a really low price in one case--before I can respond to the offer.
The first time, I just figured it was a coincidence, but it happened again Monday.
Hi @vrykalak, a pending offer will not prevent other buyers from purchasing the item before an offer is accepted by the seller. If an offer is accepted then the listing will no longer be available for other buyers to purchase.
