Resolved! Bid retraction

I'm trying to sell my first item. I received a bid of 750.00 which the bidder left the bid up for 3 days before retracting it. Am I wrong for feeling like the bidder falsely retracted their bid? I have made no changes to the original listing at all a...

Resolved! Why is the 1099 not showing the true revenue received

I have kept track of all money deposited into my checking account after every sale. The Money reported on my 1099 is more than double what I have proof of. Why does Ebay report this amount to the IRS when it isn't ture.

Fraud

Watch out USA people! For the second year in a row, I've gotten a 1099 from eBay and I havent sold one thing or even have a seller account (totals a little over $13k)! I've been assured that they will cancel the 1099 (again for the second time), but ...

Updating information

Why am I getting a notice to update my Ebay information and they are even requesting photo confirmation (which I have no idea how to do). Is this legitimate or is it a scam (potential hacker)?

Scammers! One big complaint.

A few years back I was in a spot and needed some money so I had turned to eBay. At the time, everything worked as should and the buyers/sellers were direct, communicative, and actual people - actually, all I dealt with were really kind. Recently I fo...
