How do you handle returns when a buyer claims the item isn't as described?
I've gotten behind on bills due to bad planning which i truly regret and now that I've lost my cars engine I cannot work as an ebay reseller and am looking to sell my entire ebay clothing store worth $32,000 on ebay including 1481 items for $2 each b...
Ebay requires a SSN or ITIN for payouts. I don't feel entirely comfortable giving my SSN to eBay. I have an ITIN for an LLC business that is not related to reselling. Can I still use this ITIN number instead of SSN? Thank you for taking the time to h...
Hi all, I have fallen below standard. It looks like I've had cancellations, but I've also had a problem buyer who claimed item as not described. When I called eBay about the customer flat-out lying, I was told to not do anything and let the case go t...
Whats going on with sales this year? I sell golf tees, and usually I sell about 10 pacs of 20 a week. Lately since January I have only sold 3 pacs of 20 in 4 months. I notice that there are others that are selling the same ones and they are showing m...

I don't know how to handle this. There was a set date on the website of when they'll arrive which was within 30 days of sale. Then on release day the ETA was delayed for over 3 months. No explanation, maybe it was tariff related, I don't know. Anyway...
Another new one for me this week … Buyer reached out last night, stating shorts she purchased were not going to work for her (did not fit) and wanted to know if I’d help her with return process. No problem, I can do that. Noticing it was an item that...
I noticed that there are some listings such as in "sewing machine parts" where there is a picture of all parts collectively with numbers to identify individual parts. The listing has a description of each part along with a unique price per part. How ...
Dear ebay Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I recently discovered that my account has been suspended, and I am unsure of the reason behind this action. I would like to clarify that I have always tried to follow the platform’s rules an...
