Taxes

If I don’t have a business, why am I charged taxes on items I sell on ebay? When you have a garage sale you don’t have to pay taxes on the items you sell. I’ve been selling on eBay for years and never had to pay taxes.

Messed up searches not showing full matches

I have noticed lately that searches are showing a lot of not what I am looking for. You are supposed to put your search words in parenthesis for exact search? But I think it is just a new way to show more advertised / sponsored items instead. Just mo...

Changes with promos not automatically applying through the cart?

I set up a flat rate promo for a buyer that was having trouble requesting a combined shipping total through the cart. The system defaulted to charging the buyer the full shipping amount instead of automatically applying the promotion. I did some rese...

Making a new listing

When you create a new listing do you use the 'sell' button at the page top, the blue 'create listings' button on the active listing page, a sell similar of someone's else's listing or a sell similar of an existing listing of your own that's as close ...

It's not just the new listing tool, it's a lousy text editor/html generator.

It is so tiresome to list anything. And it is not just because of the new listing tool(s) and item specifics. It's the lousy text editor/html generator . I don't believe eBay wants us to use plain text for the benefit of our buyers. I think eBay has ...
