eBay System totally breaking down?

I have had more glitches in the past couple weeks than I have had in several past years combined. 1. Whenever I create a new listing, with the EXACT same shipping policy as my other listings (which all ship worldwide), the new listings only ship to U...

Buyer offered 30$ more than listing price

I had a pair of smith goggles up for sale for 20$, a buyer offered 50 and I obviously accepted and they paid the 50$. I know this is a classic scam but if they actually paid, should I ship it? or will they still try to say the item never came or some...

I don't believe I was evaluated fairly in the January 20th evaluation seller review

my transaction defect rate was rated at "Above Standard", My Late Ship rate was rated at "Top Rated", my Tracking uploaded was rated at "Top Rated" But my Cases closed without seller resolution was rated as "Below Standard" at .44%? How is that? when...

Removal of "Seller Refurbished" option. Further eBay sabotage of small businesses.

Got an email today that eBay was going to be removing the "Seller Refurbished" option from listings. Seems it is because we are competing against eBay ambition to give special privileges to their preferred vendors selling refurbished goods. Obviously...

Markdowns

Anyone has issue with markdowns and promotions underperforming? I raised ad rates and created prmo and see no sales at all. No views no boost in impressions.

Ebay kills my store

Hello sellersEbay killed my store that was doing great. In the lats month they dropped my sales by 80% compared to the previous time period which is the slowest time for the category i have been selling in. I hyped ads and created promotion. I ended ...

I accidently sold on a pickup only type ad

I have an ad, and the guy wasn't sure if it was what he needed. He asked to pick it up, and one thing led to another quickly. We solved his problem, and he paid me. This wasn't intentional or a scam of any type, and it wasn't more than $10 altogether...

Resolved! Ebays sellers fees are dangerous

Look i just recently sold an item for 1K but unfortunately the buyer wasnt smart enough to make sure that her package arrived, so usps ended up holding for 2 weeks and sent it back, the buyer was upset and still wanted it. I wanted to play it safe an...

I'm so sick of these captchas and eBay does nothing to help.

eBay will not give me a straight answer at all and as someone who uses their account a lot, it's very frustrating to have to:1. Sign in 5-10 times a day despite checking "stay signed in". I can understand if I I'm in the payments section or something...

Resolved! eBay buyer

Hello im have a lot of trouble with one buyer. i have blocked him on another account after we could not agree on something he gave me negative feedback so i told him that's fine and that ill just block him. he then went on another account bought thin...

Resolved! "Standard Shipping" Now means "Ground Advantage"?

So on lots of items, I put "Standard shipping" as the service. I learnt in the summer from the veterans of eBay that if you assign a generic service like Economy or Standard, you don't have to update the service every time the post office makes chang...

Ebay ended auction because of not following thier offensive material policy.

Since there is no discernable way to speak to an Ebay representative i had to ask my question here! I recently listed a cookie jar that depicts a chef that has a black face and hands and listed it as such. The auction was unlisted by Ebay because it ...

Who should I talk for tax/business advice?

Hello! I've been an occasional seller on eBay for almost 20 years now- mostly selling items I had lying around the house, but have recently started selling things on more of a part-time basis for some side income where I am now buying inventory. I un...

Officia U.S. Post Office tracking document not good enough?

Well, I just got off a long chat with eBay. eBay refuses to take down my late delivery strike even though the US Post Office tracking twice stated on two consecutive days "In transit to Next Facility - Arriving Late". Apparently per the conversation ...
