Taking Business Elsewhere

I have finally had it with you, eBay. Your fees continue to go up and you bait/switch by listing items for free or a low fee, then bill about 14% of the sale price. This is so ridiculous!!! I run a brick and mortar company and don't spend this much o...

Resolved! Thai seller advertising pills that will slow the growth of liver cancer.

I just don’t understand EBay. They spend time and energy to abolish the books of a long-dead author, whose writings caused no physical harm, but won’t do anything to stop these charlatans from peddling fake medicine. Liver cancer is one of the deadli...

I sold an item that went for over 1,000 - it is large and they live close so he picked it up. I gave him a $12 refund on postage because it was picked up. There is no option anywhere on my seller account to mark it as picked up or delivered, and now ...

Local pick question and suggestions.

Resolved! Many purchases of same item, scam?

I have a buyer that bought 5 of the same item in 5 separate transactions, paying 5 separate shipping fees. It is common for someone to buy 10 or more but in one transaction with one shipping charge. When asked if there was an error, the buyer just st...

Tax question help, and CPA's out there?

Hello all, I'm struggling to finish my taxes and I'm wondering if someone could give me a quick hand. I have used GoDaddy bookkeeping for years, and since Ebay switched to their new payment system it has completely screwed me up. To be honest, I shou...

Resolved! eBay reversed case decision AFTER telling me I won final decision. Buyer gets refund and keeps item.

I happened to be going through my order history and noticed one item I had won a case on said "$0.00". The buyer had claimed the item didn't have some random attributes and extra bonus items that were not in pictures and not in the description. They ...

Buyers making offer then asking for you to request payment via PayPal

I am a new seller and I have users making offers instead of bidding. They also send messages with their ‘PayPal’ email and ask me to request payment, often offering above the price plus shipping for example the item starts bidding at 300$ +9.00 shipp...

Resolved! Email eBay bucks

New tax limits

I buy from auctions to resell. How do I get a base price when I buy numerous items when bundled. Some items I donate and/or keep myself. Example I paid $12 for 20 items. For my records how do I know what purchase price is for 2 items I sold.

Slow Sales!!!!

We sell approximately 30 to 40 items a week. Since the middle of March, the sales of dwindled to the point of almost no sales on a daily basis. I understand shipping, inflation, etc. but even when we went through a severe, drastic recession when Bush...
