I know it won't happen, but I really wish we could exclude states sometimes.

Possible human trafficking

I found a very suspicious listing and non-profit organization that looks like it could be involved in human trafficking of children. I won't put the item number up here publicly since it might just be a honeypot to catch criminals. The item being sol...

Which reminds me of a story. . .

While listing a hard-to-find 1950s Gold Medal paperback earlier today, which was loaded with creases, I recalled a customer transaction which I had witnessed in the mid-1980s (how could that already be nearly 40 years ago?!?), at a comic book store t...

How do you deal with it

I had 100% feedback and sold a collector lighter we did test it and it has instructions on purging it and such if you have trouble with it. This is a $70 ligher. I was nice to the buyer and took a low ball offer since I have just started selling on e...

I'd like to force my listings to display the description automatically

Okay what is it, my wording?

This post is related to my other one here https://community.ebay.com/t5/Selling/You-guys-ever-burst-a-buyer-s-bubble-here/td-p/34275548/page/2 but I thought maybe it might deserve its own thread. It’s about buyers thinking eBay ETAs are guaranteed. @...

Do you remember as a seller when you could click a box on your listing offering combined shipping?

When did this stop? I do see the effects in my sales in the past 3+ years easy. Some buyers will communicate, and some will just buy multiple & pay and I will refund shipping difference as being honest seller. Just looking for positive comments. Don'...
