Seller Initiated Offer automation

Every day, eBay sellers send targeted offers to reach interested buyers and drive more sales. To make this process even easier, some sellers choose to automate their offers, helping them engage buyers faster and save time. We want to provide some cla...

PROMOTIONS where have they gone?

Over the last 6 months with my much more active selling I have of course received my 50 Free promotions but over the period of individual months I would also receive both 100 and 400 Free No Insertion Fees promotions. This month January I have only r...

Resolved! Just A Vent ... And Maybe A Sponsor Needed

I have rarely, if ever, reported a listing because it just isn't my style. But these sellers with items shipping via media that are not media are really starting to turn my crank. I like competition and have no probs going head to head with someone b...

Refund or not?

I had someone buy something back in October 2019 and they just messaged me now, the end of January 2020 saying they have never received the item. When she went to collect the item from the post office (in December), the item had been already returned...

What's your best price?

How do the rest of you sellers handle that question? I have a FP/OBO listing that I received such an email on. No other questions. No other opening line. I personally dislike this buyer modus operandi. These situations never seems to end well, and on...

Ebay has become my BIGGEST WASTER of PERSONAL TIME with INFERIOR PACKING SLIPS and MANAGED PAYMENTS

I am so very close to pulling the plug on being a SELLER on Ebay. First, they changed the packing slip and it no longer shows the product sale price and shipping charge. That ADDS two more steps to PROCESSING and PACKING ORDERS for customers. GO BACK...

Best Offer Not Working In Adult Category

I have had several buyers tell me they cannot make an offer on items I have in the adult category. I confirmed with a friend who tried to place an offer, and he said all he got was an error message from eBay when the offer was placed and that the off...

My Sales Tanked, And I Have A Theory

I've been selling for just about 2 years now. I found my niche, developed my business model, refined and worked it. I was doing about 2.5k per month in sales on about 150 listed items, with the usual variation - seasonal and otherwise. I had 100% fee...

Goodbye Ebay 2019. Your policies hurt sellers, defraud them and if that's okay with you, so be it.

eBay has really poor policy protections for sellers. I write this in hopes that you will heed my warnings about eBay if you decide to sell more expensive items in the future. TIPSALWAYS INSURE YOUR PACKAGESJUST BECAUSE SOMEONE PAID on PAYPAL DOES NOT...

My first neutral feedback

Do my best to get items to buyers as inexpensive as possible and sold books and shipped them media mail. Sent a $10.00 refund on over payment on shipping to buyer. Will never send anything media mail again the package went to east coast, then west co...

International Shipping Outside of Global Shipping

Hi, If you belong to the Global Shipping are you still allowed to ship Internationally not using the Global shipping? I have a buyer who wants me to ship it USPS first class instead of Global shipping but when I uncheck Global Shipping it is telling ...

Ebay tracking not automatically transferring to PayPal?

Hi. I have only noticed this issue in the last week or so as I don't sell a lot. However, I never had a problem in the past. Before when I purchased/printed my usps label from eBay it immediately showed on eBay as "on route" and tracking was auto upl...

Sellers have no rights

Why aren't sellers allowed to provide negative feedback for buyers. So unfair! I have buyers who do not pay, I had 100% positive feedback, sold a set of marvel figures that were 4 Inches tall. Listing stated so-also no returns. He sent me NASTY email...

Sourcing, offers, and poorly constructed listings

So I figured out the best place for me to source is the UK eBay site. Most of what I've been buying that's any good is coming from the UK, so it stands to reason I should look there. I looked there a couple of days ago and found an album. There was o...
