You have a few ways to accomplish this. You can go into the Seller Hub, locate the transaction in your sold items. Check the drop down menu for the option.
Or you can do it like I do and go into the transaction itself, to the bid record, select the buyer you want to send the SCO to and send it.
You are on Ebay's site, their rules are the ones that apply. Because you thing they are wrong is fine, there are likely lots of other sellers that don't feel the same way you do about any given policy.
When a seller extends a SCO, the seller at that time selects how long the SCO is good for within the options. Unless they have change there was at least 1 day or 3 days. There may be more options, I haven't ran any auctions for awhile.
While you may not want to relist an item that ended up with the buyer not paying, most sellers do. It is your decision to make. You don't have to relist it, it is an option. So I'm unsure why it is of any concern. YOU decide what is best for you. There is not always another buyer that bid so that an SCO is available to the seller.
There is such a category. But not for what you sold because it would not apply. But for things like concert tickets, Plays, etc. there are appropriate categories for them.
Great, you do NOT have to relist if you don't want to. There is NOTHING in the Ebay rules that says you have to do that. But if you think what you list will always sell, you are going to be learning that is not always true. There are many times if you sell for any length of time that something won't sell and it can take a few times before it sells at auction. Sometimes it will never seem to sell. It is a mixed bag.
For most categories, auctions are no longer a good option. But for some it works.
