Ebay is making it literally impossible to find listings. Recreational sellers may as well give up.

Brand new buyer threw a fit because I wouldn't cancel a purchase after it was already sent...

New people on eBay can be exhausting. Sorry, I have to rant. Had a buyer purchase a belt buckle from me. He paid, I printed the label today and sent it on it's way. He then does a cancellation request. I check and my carrier who did the pick up hasn'...

negative feedback for item not received, tracking says otherwise

I've been a seller and buyer since 1998. Got my first neg from a buyer who said they never received the item. The tracking showed that they requested the package be held at the post office then showed it was picked up 14 days later. Looks like a vaca...
