I just looked up sold listings for some old USPS publications I have. I see tons and tons of sold listings for Forever stamps, 1000 stamps (10 rolls) for less than $30. If my math is correct, that's less than 3 cents each for a 78 cent forever stamp....

Trouble with adding subcategories

Every time I add a subcategory all the items from the main category populate it. How do I prevent this from happening?

eBay needs to address the rampant problem with fake auto parts.

When I comp prices for most of my parts, which are usually generic, I see so many sales for "Genuine OEM" parts at prices that are obviously way to good to be true. In packaging that "appears" to be OEM packaging, but is in fact not. If for example a...

I've been selling on ebay for many years but am becoming discouraged with it. When I see how much they take, (13+%) I am ok with that, but charging us the same percentage for the shipping and tax amount paid by buyer is a bit much! We don't see that ...

So do all Seller Initiated Offers require autopayment from buyers now?

I just sent out some SIO's on a few of my items with watchers, and got an immediate taker on one, yay! But when my phone made that 'CHING!' I checked to see which item it was, and noted that it was already paid for, even though my phone made the soun...

Why is there an 'Ended' AND 'Unsold' choice, when both go to the Unsold page?

Just a little something I've always wondered. What is the point of having the Ended choice in the left-screen menu? If you start at Active and click Ended, it goes to Unsold. If you're already on Unsold, clicking Ended just refreshes the page. Is thi...

Why are orders for multiple items being split into 2 orders?
