Resolved! Buyer wants weird shipping of local pickup item

Listing doesn't appear on ebay at all

I'm having a problem where I'm trying to list some products yet when I check on a separate account, the listing doesn't appear on ebay at all (explaining my lack of views), it's been more than 24 hours so I believe it's done indexing. What could it b...

Why don't buyers pay anymore?

I only sell a few times per year, typically when I get a new device and sell the old one. For well over a decade it's been fine, but now the people who win the auctions just don't pay. There seems to be no penalty for them to renege so they do consta...

I can't (or won't) pay because of...reasons...

Saw this posted elsewhere and though someone might find it funny. Anyone have any doozies? Only one that comes to mind is "I accidentally paid." Of course it was a day or two after accepting an offer. So they probably just wanted to get out of a non-...

Why do many sold listings disappear when I click past listings in "advanced".

It seems odd that many of my sold items especially the more expensive items just disappear from my past listings under "Advanced". Sometimes only half of what I sold in a month shows up. I sold a magazine in September for $125 and no where could it b...

I ended my and it been over 90 days now and I cannot see my auctions anymore. Is they anyway to get the auctions back so I can see them and relist them?

ebay now tells me what I can make an offer to buyer for?

Was wondering why I suddenly could no longer do a reply with offer for the listed price to a buyer who wanted combined shipping but couldn't get the request total to work.This was always my 'work around' - send an offer for the listed price and once ...

A message for those who sell video games

It's unfortunate I have to make a post about something that should be common sense. But I see countless ads for pre-owned video games on Ebay (many listed as rare or vhtf), and many of the sellers do not take the extra few minutes to photograph the b...
