Scam alert

I am currently dealing with a scammer. They made an offer on an item. I countered and they accepted. However, payment was never received. I filed a non-payment case with eBay. The supposed buyer then contacts me and tells me that they forgot to pay a...

Toilet Paper auctions

There goes your reputation...Toilet paper selling for $12,000, $8,000, etc. and $15 for one square. What a ridiculous thing to allow on your site. What a joke. eBay is now the page for anyone who wants a laugh. There goes your credibility as a truste...

HTML question using new computer

I've always written my listing using html in a template designed for me by a long time seller. This template featured a photo at the beginning of the listing on the left side of text by placed the html code for one photo there after listing was poste...

Resolved! Block serial bid retractors?

Hi all, would you block a bidder who has retracted the high bid 2x on the same item in two days. I believe the bidder is trying to see what the highest bid is ...they give no reason. It’s annoying to see it up over $250 and fall back to $80 2x now an...

unexpected free listings

I downgraded to a Starter Store May 1st. My goal has been to use the 50K free fixed price listings and try to bump up my listings. But when I sell books and AV in lots I do not know the market value for Fixed Price. Today I gave in and wrote a number...

Charges for unsold item

I havent sold on ebay before and so far it's been a nightmare. I listed an item which 'sold' and ebay took $22 out of my account. I never got paid and told that to ebay but never got my money back. I relisted the item at a lower price and it still ha...

Lack of disclosure

Does it seem, in the past year or two, that item descriptions have become more sketchy?For example: Obvious flaws or damage being undisclosed or not pictured. Damage that simply does not show until the item is "in hand". I have been doing this for a ...

How to insure shipment and get signature verification

I'm selling an ipad and have gotten much higher bids than expected (~$270 for an item which is about $330 new) and am worried about getting scammed. How can I ship it safely in these strange times? Can I do signature required on USPS? I know I can in...

Seller Hub - searching within my listings

Within SELLER HUB, where do I find the place where I can search within my own listings. For instance, if I want to revise the price or duration on several items at once....such as shoes.....how can I do that? In Selling Manager, I could do an easy se...

Listing/Selling to One Specific Buyer

I don't think I've ever asked a question to this board, but here goes. First, I sell using a different ID. Three months ago, in February, I listed and sold an item of fashion jewelry. I have just come across a coordinating piece of fashion jewelry fr...

INRs o' plenty

Anyone getting a huge increase of INRs lately? The sad part is that they are true INRs because USPS has slowed to a crawl for many packages. I've been able to stall a few buyers and find out the package finally delivers in up to 16 days. That's a hug...

Is there any point to accepting questions on items for sale?

So I grow very weary of the lowball offers, and pointless questions. I would say 2/3 of the messages I get are people trying to offer me 30%-50% less than my listed price. Another chunk is questions that are answered in the listing. The occasional me...

Is there any way to contact Ebay for seller questions....

... during this crazy time period? I want to request a selling limit increase. Not in number of items, but in dollar amount. I've sold off and on since 2004 and have ramped up my listings considerably the last month (loss of job will cause you to do ...
