Extra charge for sales tax

Is anyone else concerned with the fact that when eBay collects sales tax from the buyer they count that as income for you on the seller fees before they remove the tax which causes you to pay eBay 15% of the sales tax. If you don’t believe it, look a...

Bulk Edit "Item Description" Glitches (or character limit change?)

For a decade now, I have been putting up a few hundred single card trading auctions at the end of each year, each starting at $1. In the bulk listing tool, it has always been easy (until today) to use Bulk Edit>Item Description>Change to and then I j...

A.I. is ruining ebay.......

I have really had enough of the A.I. takeover. I am 69 years old and have been in sales since 1971 and when I retired, I missed selling and started selling on ebay. I know what to do, how to list, how to write my own description. People near my age h...

Breakers category

Do you promote eBay on social media?

Scrolling on social media, I try to take any and every opportunity to promote eBay.For example, on a post about needlepoint, I'll comment that I've seen vintage kits on eBay at great prices.Same for posts about clothing, vintage bric-a-brac and decor...

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 ...

eBay not like in the 90s or early 2000s

What’s the most serious problem or issue you think eBay has?.

Dubious eBay claim for USPS "Next Day Delivery" is questionable, if not downright deceitful

Most of my listings now state "next day delivery," which I acknowledge I only see on my listings, since I am looking at them from my own ZIP Code of 55112, and not the message which other buyers and/or sellers would see. However -- what if a buyer fr...

WalMart targeting more affluent buyers---just like ebay

Interesting article about WalMart....IMHO, WalMart is doing something ebay has been doing for some years now ---ebay's Focus Categories really target the buyers with plenty of disposable income. And WalMart is also shifting more resources to the uppe...

To Reach Out or Not To Reach Out

I had a buyer leave positive feedback on a coffee/spice grinder. They are (amazingly) very happy with their purchase, despite the fact they noted that it acted erratically. This prompted them to remove the outer housing where they discovered the inne...

When did eBay start having 'grades' of pre-owned condition for all(?) items?

I was just taking a look at one of my listings and noticed the condition didn't just say Pre-Owned like usual, but also 'Good' with an 'i' so you can click and see what good means. I know it's normal to have standardized condition grades as (optional...

Caution When Searching Comps

Not sure how many sellers are aware of this.... Since more and more sellers are using SIO's to generate sales, it's important to realize that the final sold price that shows up on eBay's "sold" filter, does NOT reflect the actual SIO price, but only ...
