Private Party Sales and Tax

I haven't been selling for awhile and was thinking to list a few items. I've seen that ebay is collecting tax now. Does this effect private party sales or only tax IDed businesses selling on ebay? If it does effect private party sales how does the pr...

Markdown Sale Promotions NOT Working :-/

I started having this issue a few days ago and cannot figure it out. Adding items to a Markdown Sale promotion does not put them on sale. Removing items from a Markdown Sale promotion does not remove the sale price from the listing. I have made chang...

Thinking of not bothering with these INRs anymore

Up until now (I'm on the fence still), I've always sent canned message replies to buyers who file INR and tracking shows delivered. The message politely apologizes and explains that tracking shows delivered and gives suggestions on how to locate the ...

Buyer demanding partial refund

Sorry for the long post - quite a lot going on here. I've had a long-running dispute with an eBay buyer. Essentially I am selling bundles of retro computer games. Initially, he submitted an offer, which I accepted on a bundle of 24 games. After a bit...

Seriously, does eBay shut you down periodically?

How is it possible that last month was my best month in a long time. I was selling something almost every day on 1 of my 2 accounts. This month. Nothing. No views, no watchers, no sales this month. How does the first day of the month magically change...

PHONE NUMBER

something changed and I can't see buyer's phone number

Just my humble opinion

IMHO - after a $25.00 (1 sale) weekend, you can be rest assured I will not be recommending eBay to anyone. I'm sure others are thrilled with selling here. It is mid October & I've had about 6-8 excellent selling days in 2019. 90% are zero to below av...
