NO SALES - PERIOD

This attempt at some sort of PR by eBay is **bleep**. There aren't technical issues, selling issues, product issues.Something is wrong....dead wrong. I'm a $50k - 100k seller and have been since 2015. I usually process 10 - 20 orders a week and often...

It's Time to Reimburse Buyers for Return Packaging

When buyers receive items not as described or defective, and need to return the item, very often they incurred additional cost to package the item before returning it. That's because, to open the package, one must destroy the onetime use packaging. e...

ebay competitor blinks---restores old returns policy

There have been some discussions here about the recent fee change at Mercari (seller fees eliminated, buyer fees instituted instead). At the same time Mercari made that change, they also changed their existing return policy---which had been a 3 day r...

Wacky negative feedback

Got my first negative feedback after 1.4k items sold - buyer was mad he couldn’t use his gift card at my store. Provided no other information other than his gift cards didn’t work. I asked eBay to remove this nonsense and they declined claiming it di...

eBay is not enforcing the Bid Retraction Policy

I sell a lot Auction style and this year several Buyers have retracted bids on Auctions without replacing them with a correct bid. Therefore, eBay is NOT enforcing their policy. This past weekend a Bidder with 37 retractions in the last 12 months ret...

Is everybody else experiencing the same? Buyer messaged me just now with a shipping question and I noticed the buyer's location is no longer showing on the eBay message email. Checked numerous buyer messages from today and none show the location. Did...

SELLERS BEWARE! This site has really gone down hill since last I was on here. READ

Ebay has really gone down hill all the way around. I was a seller on here successfully for over 10 years from 1998 to 2008. It was fair, user friendly, heavily trafficked, and both a great place to sell and buy items. I started selling on here last w...

At the end of November I bought an Iphone through Ebay, I got it December 5th. I flew to Argentina a few days back and used the phone using WIFI, I came back mid-end of January. Since I am deaf, I needed to wait till my audiologist appointment, which...

In a rut; out of touch with modern collectibles

Hello all. I have been selling here for a while. It's more of a hobby than a job, but the money is important. Here is what sells for me: Pyrex milk glass bowls with a pattern, Jadite glassware, an occasional collectable fishing reel or Stanley carpen...

Why does ebay punish GOOD sellers so harshly for a bad feedback?

Absolutely unfair ebay lowers a good seller's feedback by so many points for one bad feedback. No one in their right mind thinks this is ok. One bad feedback should equal just one point drop. And, if the seller is exemplary with a ton of transactions...

sending offers to items on watch lists

I send offers to pretty much every listing in that section under Active. Exceptions are when ebay wants to require me to discount too much. Some of the time I don't discount much but usually I try to be somewhat generous. A lot depends on whether the...

eBay Testing Getting Rid of Shipping & Returns Tab, Moving Info to Popup Instead

Looks like eBay is doing more testing on the View Item page design - in some browsers I'm seeing they have gotten rid of the Shipping, Returns, and Payments tab and instead to access that information the user has to click "See Details", which then di...
