Buyer used fake tracking number for return, what do I do?

Okay, so basically what happened earlier is that a 0 feedback buyer requested a return and I accepted and purchased a return shipping label from eBay for a discount. This was on February 24, a week before this happened. So today, the buyer finally de...

When the Cha-Ching sound was plentiful & random!

When the Cha-Ching sound was plentiful & random, that is when I knew my store was open/visible 24/7. I got sales in the morning, mid-day, and at night. ---- I miss those days/times! Now, I am on some kind of info-commerical late night schedule where ...

Best offer

How do I stop the international shipping from checking itself on every listing?

(Un)luck-of-the-draw seller algorithm blackouts

As individual seller blackouts, or curtailed listing exposures, seems to be an always ubiquitous thread here on the boards, I thought I would ask the question: How long do these last? Does anybody know? Ebay admits they exist, and most of us have had...

eBay selling our phones numbers.

I guess I never realized until after reading this most recent agreement update from eBay that they have the right to sell our phone numbers to third parties. Maybe this is where we are all getting our phone troll telemarketer calls from. Nice.

Selling collectable 35mm slides

Notice to new and old sellers: slides very very very rarely sell for more than 5 or 6 cents each - so starting them out at 10 or 25 cents each is a waste of space and your time. Mom's old slide carousel of travel slides will not sell for $100.00 even...
