So, I have always been a no returns seller. I had one return policy in business policies titled "Once you have their money, never give it back." I know they recently forced free returns in auto parts, I had all of 1 auto part in my store so I never r...

eBay listing items I've purchased and asking me to resell

I have a whole list under "ready to resell" and it lists just items I've purchased on eBay with some from a few years ago. What is going on?

What's been your nicest most heartwarming buyer/seller/personal experience?

In this world of hurt and division, I thought it would be nice to recount some of our happier experiences with others whether it be personal or as an eBay seller or buyer. Personal one first. My husband and I were penniless returning from a terrible ...

I've been selling on ebay since October 1998. Since the Post Office is going up on postage in January 2026, Ebay needs to remove fees on shipping. i don't know about everyone else, but postage fees are killing my sales. I loose money on just about ev...

Listing flagged for hazardous material policy violation

Recently listed a vintage candy thermometer and the listing was almost immediately flagged for a policy violation. As there are many just like mine currently listed…and recently sold I just don’t understand why mine was targeted. I submitted an appea...

We resell for others - we collect half on a large sale but still pay taxes on the whole sale price

We have had an eBay store for over a decade, and lately, we have been selling larger items for friends. Now we are wondering how to handle the taxes that we are ultimately going to pay on these larger sales. For example, we will be listing a set of s...

No Sales No Watchers No Views

No Sales, No Watchers, No Views, What's going on. When ever I post an item I always do a search to see what things are selling for and to see if there are any watchers. Watchers means that there are viewers. That gives me an idea whether items are se...

Resolved! We are trying to invoice an item but keep receiveing this message

Invoices can't be sent for eBay International Shipping orders, how do we invoice?

If it ain't broke, break it. eBay replaces the sell similar button with "create new listing". WHY?!

Positive Feedback With A Negative Comment

I had a buyer leave me a positive rating with a rude negative comment. For the life of me I cannot find where to report this. I know it is not permitted, but this buyer does it to at least 50% of his purchases. I contacted eBay, and that was a waste ...
