Bid retraction

I had a bidder retract his bid. I had a reserve and he claimed he was “testing the water” to see what the reserve was instead of simply asking. The buyer has 79 previous transactions and apparently nothing better to do. If he was new I could see the ...

One More Reason Sales are Down - CHECK THIS OUT!

Check out the email I found in my "Ask Seller A Question" area on items I am selling: New message from: Brother collected fenton and passed away suddenly. You seem to collect fenton also so wanted you to be aware of his items in ridiculous auction by...

You know sales are bad when....

IMAGINE MY SURPRISE!

I’ve come back to Ebay after two-year hiatus with the hope that maybe things have improved for the seller, but with my first listing I already see that quite the opposite has happened as unfortunately, I expected. I have never seen a company that has...

How to find ebay Sales tax totals

From an answer in another thread.I just went through this yesterday, after talking with two not very knowledgable eBay reps in the Phillipines, both of them told me I have to ask Paypal where to find the tax totals, as they have no way of totaling th...

Resolved! New eBay people bidding, winning, and not paying for auctions.

Just in the past two weeks I've had two people win auctions and not pay. Both are fairly new, including one who just "joined" in the last week. I now have a high bid for a lot of 20 books that's currently sitting at $58 from a bidder who literally "j...
