Resolved! Must be the season to harass Sellers On eBay

I think it would be great idea if eBay could make it where you could block messages from people that purposely harass you through messages for no reason what so ever. Even when they are not buying stuff from you or have never bought anything from you...

Resolved! 1099-K Delayed? Oh, I sure hope so! :-)

Well, I hope this gives us the time needed to fight this onerous reporting law. Thoughts? Apparently, we now have a DELAY in the 1099-K reporting until 2024 (for the 2023 tax year). Does anyone have some insights on this? I'm fairly new on eBay, and ...

When your potential customer gives you TMI

Received this note from a customer on why she missed bidding on my Sunday auctions: "I am so sorry that I missed your auctions on Sunday, but I was carted off to jail Friday night and spent 4 days because I missed a court appointment that I did not k...

Resolved! Buyer wants weird shipping of local pickup item

I had a set of chairs listed for local pickup only. I never shipped anything freight before and don't even know how. So the buyer emails me a few times saying he wants them shipped. I looked into it and the box needed is 42 x 42 x 42. I replied that ...

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...

My Seller Rating has become Below Standard

I mistakenly reported to eBay that I canceled 7 transactions because I was out of stock. I made the incorrect reply when eBay asked why the transaction was canceled. I misunderstood what I was supposed to say. All of theses 7 items have been sold aft...

Potential Scam?

I sold a laptop to a buyer who had plenty of positive reviews and seemed trustworthy. They payed the next day and I shipped out the laptop the following day. The tracking number shows it was delivered and signed for a few days later. But I get a refu...

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...
