I don't accept returns but have read that buyers merely have to say "not as described" to return an item anyway. I recently sold a zoom lens and in the listing I said I was no expert and was selling "as is" but felt it would make a great lens because...

Ebay National Advertising

I have seen a few ads lately with ebay advertising for the holidays, however, the ads I did see were about how ebay is the place to shop for those hard-to-find, basically used items. Example, the most recent one I saw was about a women finding the ex...

I spend way too much time listing and trying to sell on ebay to get these kinds of messages.

I don't know what's going on with ebay, but it won't allow me to check out. It gets me to the checkout then it keeps resetting when I hit buy. Not sure what to do. Only thing I can think of is, if you're able, to unlist the items and recreate in 1 li...
