All my sold items are beeing hold 21 day

Dear Ebay, you still are not loyal to sellers and do not really care of them , even in those hard times. All my sold items (and I sell very regularly, monthly circa 1000-3000 USD) are beeing hold 21 day mechanically, despite being delivered after 7 d...

Resolved! Extreme return policy, I quit

Dear Ebay, In 15 years, I have had about 3 return item cases against me. Didn't it used to be that eBay would take a look at the messages sent between the buyer and seller, take a look at the listing, photos, etc, and make a decision? Now, they requi...

You'd think most buyers would be a bit more lenient...

During this time, I'm sure you would be a bit more patient with online item shipment handling times. You'd probably assume this thought is shared by everyone. I've already raised my handling time to 3 business days (hey ebay, thanks for not displayin...

Buyer threatens to sue over an expired sale

I have a buyer who wants a refund on a sale over 75 days old. The sale was for $99 and now they threaten to sue me because they say the item doesn't work. Are you kidding me? The buyer has the item and won't even return it for repair. Sounds like a s...

Does any seller out there think it is a good idea for Ebay to restrict the duration of Buy It Now items? Elimination of 3 day 5 day 7 day 10 day Buy It Now has totally ruined my selling, and I am forced to either go Auction(with a nice fee) or go 30 ...

Oh, boy. The US economy hurting sales now.

The virus-scare is making huge waves in the US economy and my sales are beginning to reflect it. No sales for 2 days. I sell a lot to the West Coast. Guess, the layoffs are filtering down to affect my EBAY sales. Anyone else?

My buyers are coming in droves...

I don't know the demographics of who buys my stuff, but sometimes I make assumptions based on what's being purchased (as in assumptions of what the buyer is interested in, so I can cross promote other items). They have shown up in the past two weeks ...
