Buyer clicks purchase, doesn't purchase, then we have to wait several days to cancel order?

It's frustrating when a buyer clicks purchase and does nothing afterwards. So do we really have to wait till the date eBay tells us when we can cancel the order? Seems like it's to many days to have our product off the market.

Buyer address has letter in place of number?

For some reason my buyer has put the letter L in place of the number 1 in their address. Should I be concerned? Is this some kind of weird scam?

Resolved! Used Fragrances no longer allowed??

Resolved! Ebay Charging for fees and expenses without details.

Just received a notice that Ebay was charging me X amount for fees and expenses. There were no details as to what the fees and expenses were for. If I owe them that's fine, but I want to know what I'm paying for. Is that too much to ask?

Are these buyers attempting to scam me?

I have a strange issue that I've never had to deal with since I started selling on ebay 15 years ago. This weekend, I had almost 20 different eBay customers (all new to eBay and look like they may be guest accounts) purchase the same item in differen...

I have sold a camera and the buyer messaged me that it is not working. He has asked for a $50 refund and keep the camera, but I've already issued a return shipping slip. Also, the money has been held up until this is all taken care of. How do I get h...
