Resolved! a few items that would make eBay more practical and relevant (in my opinion)

a) I can understand that you need to understand the product that is being sold/bought MPN is one number that is requested (required?). Finding the MPN is not trivial.. seems it would be easier for the sellers/buyers to have a straight forward way to ...

format for selling individual cards in a set

I have not been active on Ebay very much over the years, and I see things have changed. One feature I have noticed is that some sellers have individual cards listed as a buy it now, and they have a drop down menu so buyers can pick the card they want...

"Your shipment is being returned due to issues encountered."

It's my own fault - I broke my rule and used the ebay 'stand alone' international shipping and now 'this' is what's on the top of the tracking info. We have no idea what the issues could be - as in we did something - or if I'm getting back a crushed ...
