Payment not going through PayPal Issues

Ebay is Not Protecting Sellers

As a top-rated, twenty-five year member of ebay, I'm no longer content to keep my mouth shut about ebay's poor management and anemic seller support. Other sellers deserve ample warning about the brand of apathetic treatment they are sure to receive. ...

Is it just a coincidence?

I sold an automotive engine on friday, luckily the carrier I scheduled to pick it up, didn't show up. Over the weekend the customer came to the realization, that they had purchased an engine and not a transmission, even though it had pics, and was cl...

Dr. Seuss = EBAY Cancel Culture

I've been a dedicated buyer and seller since 1997. Why should Ebay make decisions as to what we can and cannot read? Ebay should go through all the books on your site and take down the ones that could possibly offend ANYONE.....if you cancel Dr. Sues...

Do your best to NEVER sent out packages without tracking
