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

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 ...

Resolved! Buyer not responding to messages or pay for item

Is there a method Ebay to get involved to also ask the buyer to pay, or my best option is just to cancel his order? Thanks John

Looking for eBay Sellers Scammed By eBay and Buyers (Refunds w/o returned products and stolen fees)

I was recently scammed on ebay by a buyer. The shocking part is that eBay actually helped to facilitate this theft, so I'm curious how widespread of a problem this is on eBay. Did you know that if a buyer files a dispute and eBay gives them a refund,...

Alot of my listings are locked and changes can not be made. And No i didn't send offers for them.

I can't update or change anything on some of my listings. I haven't sent any offers for them so I'm confused.

Calculated shipping - does eBay tack on the fees

I appreciate the calculated shipping, but do the fees on the shipping get included in the shipping cost presented to buyer?

Question about potential buyers

I have a wedding dress for sale at over $1K. Within a couple of hours of posting it I received 3 messages that were oddly similar, asking if I could ship it today. I said i would ship it once payment was confirmed. They then replied they would like t...
