Providing your SSN to eBay if you’re not going to make enough money to receive a form 1099-K?

I don’t see myself selling more than a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff in a year. There’s no way I’d be eligible to receive a form 1099-K, which has a sales threshold of $20,000. Even if they lower it to $600 like they were planning to, I’m alm...

Am I being scammed? First time seller.

This first time sale has been a nightmare. The buyer was supposed to get the package today, but UPS said they moved and would try to contact them. They never responded to any of my messages thanking them for the purchase or anything. I called him, di...

eBay steals from the sellers

eBay not only takes 15% of the sale price and steals 15% of my shipping cost, but they also steal my money by taking 15% of the taxes the customer pays, not from the customer, but they steal that from me too!!! Why is eBay so unethical, so greedy, an...

My REAL Jordan sneakers failed inspection, but eBay doesn't say what failed. This is unfair.

I just got a message that my NIKE JORDAN 13 Court Purple 11.5 sneakers failed inspection from your Las Vegas "inspection" person. How is this possible when I purchased it directly from Nike, included the original box and have the original receipt, al...

Package hasn't been delivered due to buyer since late July

What do I do? Package hasn't been delivered and it's been a month. USPS tracking says it's due to "animal interference".

Insertion Fee Robbery

In April, we deleted over 9000 listings in order to declutter non-performing items to bring our account below the 1000 insertion fee threshold for a Basic subscription and save on subscription costs. After the listings were deleted, we updated our su...

Screwy promoted sales stats

Can I block a buyer for being annoying?

A buyer who has purchased multiple items from me is quite difficult to deal with. She has never left any kind of feedback for me but I'm afraid if I block her, she will leave negative feedback. Is that possible?

Resolved! "Won't get here in time" cancellations.

BUT then the cancellation notice says "Not eligible to re-list". Why not? Obviously the buyer is going off of the estimated date eBay offers - which we all know is an ESTIMATE only not a promise or guarantee. If it is a relatively inexpensive item, r...
