Pondering causation versus coincidence

Not long ago I stopped sending offers to books on watch lists, the ones already on sale. I was discounting too much. Since then I have been getting more offers than usual. I can think of no way to know if this is just a concidence. Presumably the pri...

Blocked Ebay Buyers Who Open New Accounts To Order From You

I am pretty sure a blocked buyer opened a new account just to buy things from me. When the order came in, I got a weird feeling, and I trust my feelings, so I investigated. The first person was trying to get a lot of fabric from me for far less than ...

Unjustified shipping charge adjustments

I've noticed a few outrageous shipping charge adjustments lately from both FedEx and UPS. I was charged an additional $31 on a 5 lb package because the carrier claimed it weighed 70 lbs. Completely inaccurate. Most others do not even give a reason. I...

Ready to resell? Please stop it, EBay! Stupid idea. How to remove?

Resolved! Hating the New eBay Automatic Feedback Policy!

OK, so I thought when eBay announced they'd be giving Sellers Automatic Feedback, it'd count on your total Feedback score, which it doesn't. So now, when a Buyer DOES leave Feedback, it replaces the automatic eBay Feedback, but you don't know for whi...

Will neutral/neg feedback we wiped if Buyer initiates a return cancelation and then a cancel order?

I sold an MP3 player for $12 free shipping (normally sells for $50 used and working) as-is for parts or repair. I noted all of the known defects and could not have been more clear that it was being sold only for parts or repair as-is. The buyer recei...
