Famous/notable people who purchased from you?

From my entire time of selling on eBay, I only had two buyers who got my attention... A Boston Globe sportswriter (currently on staff) bought a Boston Globe Magazine several years ago from me. He told me in his eBay message that he wrote the cover st...

Shipped to correct address but item not delivered.

Got this message this morning and I'm trying to figure out the best way to proceed. According to the buyer, I shipped it to the correct address, but the post office didn't deliver the item. There's a story attached that I don't really understand, bu...

1099 Problem - missing sales from other selling ID’s

Just received my 1099 - no surprise to get one. But, it is only for main selling ID - the one with over $20k in sales. My other selling id’s are definitely not included. It is pretty obvious to me, as I took a break from selling with that ID in March...

Sorry for my confusion here. But is eBay now requiring immediate payment for all items? When we accept an offer and try to send an invoice, we cannot and it seems like we get near instant payment. We never required this. We are now trying to bulk buy...

Unsold vs Ended Items

Would someone tell me the difference between "Unsold" and "Ended" items? This is getting so frustrating! I've been selling for 9 years and the last few years have been insane with all the changes. Thanks, Gwen

Low Ball Offers Even With Parameters Set

I am curious and frustrated here - I have my listings set with Make Offers - with a percentage lower - and a low price of $10. I consistently get offers for $3, $4, $5 - OMG. I have even tried marking them with No Offers Allowed and then remarking th...
