Will Ebay ever offer a debit card for sellers?

Thought occurred to me today when looking at my PayPal balance that I have a debit card that I can use to withdraw funds or spend at a business but Ebay does not yet offer that option even though they have gone to managed payments. Just seems that re...

Resolved! How Many Store Categories Allowed on Each Listing?

Hello: It looks like there is a limit of only 2 store categories that can be assigned to an individual listing — is that correct? (I only see two store category dropdowns using the advanced listing tool on a desktop.) So if one wanted a listing that ...

Vacation Mode over Christmas?

Well I'll be here every day, even Christmas day (as my family is not Christian and will not be observing anything on the 25th... we had our holiday party today). My shipper wants to give the majority of their staff some time off, so all the local bra...
