GTC a PITA, they need to bring 30 day listings BACK!

I HATE GTC and always have. I had a store for about 2 years, were sales were fairly consistent, usually on the first and last day of listing or relisting an item. I rotated my stock with the listings I purchased in my store subscription. The day eBay...

0 Feedback buyer who bought my item on the same day they registered

Hi, I'm a new seller. So I sent the item, taking the precaution to get a shipping receipt. Taking a risk, do you guys think it's a guest buyer or someone trying to scam me. It's a collectible item, not a phone or laptop. The buyer sent payment immedi...

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...

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...
