For the edification of those whose rants claim that eBay does not protect sellers.

We’ve all seen the rants. OH so many of them. Today I got a charge back via the buyer’s credit card claiming that they did not recognize the transaction. It was shipped to the address on eBay’s screen and tracking confirms it has been delivered. So I...

Most definitely being singled out by ebay

I found an ilco 025 manual key copying machine for a good price so I checked ebay for comparable listings, sold and for sale, to see if I could make some money. Sure enough there are lots of key copying machines available including the same exact mac...

Why can't I contact the buyer?

How come after I sell an item, "contact the buyer" is no longer an option? Why can I not message them with status updates, or ask them questions about their order? Every time I come in here, there is some change that is usually NOT more helpful.

eBay fees and overpriced goods

Some sellers sell stuff for over the top prices, much more than the stores and on top of that there’s a shipping fee. I’ve read many excuses but I think the buck stops with eBay which has such extortionate fees nowadays that the independent seller ha...

Resolved! Sellers

Biggest scam to sellers on eBay is eBay why are they withholding people money with no explanation why, over 10yr I’ve have been selling on eBay and now they just decided to put all my money n hold with no explanation or replies to my emails and lette...

Buyers Who Don't Pay!

It seems to me that buyers who don't pay shouldn't be allowed to bid anymore. Giving them two chances before they get gigged is too generous. They cost sellers money in the time that their item is not active waiting on payment. I've had my first one ...

Sellers prevented from using "Vintage", "Antique", "Victorian", etc. in their listings as punishment

So I truly made a mistake listing a fossil walrus item, carved by a native American Eskimo in the 1970s with label and full provenance. I searched eBay for fossil walrus items and at the time thought it was an exception to their ivory policy since it...
