On a return, when is top-rated status calculated?

I'm one sale short of keeping top rated for the next month. I had a buyer buy 8 days before the evaluation and start a return 2 days before the evaluation, so I'm still top rated now, but when the item arrives I won't be. Is getting the ability to de...

Lost an INR case. Lost a lot of money!

Best offer.

Someone made a best offer that was the exact amount that I have it for already as Buy it Now. They didn’t send me their phone number and tell me to text them or anything along those lines, but this still raised a few red flags for me. Am I right to b...

Attempting an INR appeal

Paypal Tax SCAM Charging Fees On Top Of eBay Sales Tax

Resolved! Zero protection for digital goods sellers on eBay?
