eBay's IT department is USELESS.

To make a long story short, I've sold 20 items shy of 10,000 items in 11 years. Recently I shipped a few things and noticed a few items had been checked "ships in irregular package". Except I didn't catch it initially until it was too late. But I did...

Resolved! Ebay Template: Shipping options and shipping charge are not showing

I use ebay Templates to write up my auctions ahead of time. But today shipping options and the box to type in shipping charge is not showing. It is also not showing my preferances. How do I get those things back? I will attach a screen shot to this m...

Tracking numbers

I am receiving a message that tracking numbers have not been added when shipping is not due for 2 days. Is this a new message from Ebay? I have shipped 100% of items with tracking number and never have received this message. Others?

Automatic feedback vis-a-vis your feedback percentage

eBay shows that I have received 18 automatic feedback, all positive of course. Suddenly my feedback percentage has jumped from 99.6 to 99.8. The number of negs and neutrals has remained the same. So apparently auto FB is being used in your percentage...

Just curious but can you remember...

which post over the last couple of years generated the most views and likes? And what the post was about? I'm always amazed at how much help/opinions are given here. I know I've been helped quite often.

It's all my fault. I'm a liar and a terrible person.

Sold a brand new car part. 2 weeks later the buyer claims it doesn't fit their car. Ok, if that's MY mistake, I'm happy to own up to it.They then tell me what car they have, it's a hybrid.The listing is for a part for the non-hybrid model of Chevy Ma...

Frustratingly lazy sellers … just a lil rant

Trying to do some shopping on eBay today and wow I’m finding out how frustrating it must be for some buyers. Several different items I was really interested in and not one had measurements!! Not in photos, not in the description, nowhere. Normally I ...

Buyer Profiles Gone? “User Not Found” Across the Board

I’m a Top Rated Seller with zero defects, 100% tracking, and $50M/$10M monthly selling limits, so this is not an account restriction issue.Over the past week, every buyer profile I click shows “User Not Found.” This isn’t just search visibility—even ...

Resolved! Prohibited Medical Devices

Ebay has a policy on medical device - https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/medical-devices-policy?id=4322 which states that devices that "require a prescription" can't be sold on Ebay. However, nearly every medical device th...

Resolved! Ebay should consider cutting a deal with USPS like Poshmark has to bring back the buyers!!

Poshmark charges a flat USPS priority mail shipping rate of $7.95 to it's buyers for up to 5 lb packages. Why on earth doesn't Ebay negotiate a deal like this with USPS?!! To ship a 1 1/2 lb package from MA to CA is almost $20 using the current shipp...

Resolved! Can we have a conversation about using Best offer?

I'm on ebay 25+ years and it's time to call in the dogs and hose down the campfire. Time to think about ending it all. (No, not that) Best offer. Not the back door Garbage in messages or me sending offers to a looker. Who uses "Best offer" and adds i...

International Shipping Return Botched

I shipped an item(G.I.. Joe) to a customer and it was returned. I got a message from eBay stating that it was an item prohibited in their country and that I would not have to pay back the shipping fees., just to refund the item amount. I went in to r...

eBay International Shipping is a scam?

So this is my problem, I had a buyer from another country purchase an item. Luckily, it was cheap. They said they never got it, I checked tracking there were no updates for an entire month. So I thought, and I told them, open a did not receive case a...

not receive email notifying sale

Under my "orders awaiting shipment" is an item where I never received any notice from ebay about the sale. No big deal, I'm waiting to see if they send a payout. But why did I not receive any notice? Any possibility it's some kind of scam? Suppose I ...
