when eBay delists items, the listing reverts to its original version

back in Dec '23 eBay delisted my entire store of 2000 items when a buyer reported fraud. After a few days, eBay cleared me to resume my store telling me I can return my items from draft to active. Little did I know that eBay had altered the multi-ite...

Resolved! Please Help! Item Not appearing in Search Results

1099k based on Gross

I'm sure the subject has come up and the "know it alls" have had their say, so I'm basically just complaining..Anyway, it sure would be less complicated if ebay could report the actual income received by the seller, instead of the gross.

1099-k 2024 calendar year is now 600

EBAY has changed the reporting threshold to 200/0 transactions for the 2024 selling calendar year. So ebay is no longer fighting or even looking at the $5000 proposed for 2024 by the IRS earlier this year. https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credi...

What I believe......

A lot of people are trying to figure out why their eBay sales or any online selling might be failing. As far as I'm concerned, there is little doubt the number of changes in the world, following COVID & how the inept politicians handled it, is the do...

Buyer paid but payment not showing

I sold an item and the buyer paid. The payment is not showing up in my funds as it normally does. This listing required immediate payment. It shows the promoted listing fee was deducted under the activity, but nothing else. When I click on payment de...

Why is the Pricing Research tool so lousy, and always in the 'cheap' direction?
