Resolved! I accept I'm restricted, but...

In late 2018 we started pushing eBay sales hard. However, we made several inventory errors which negatively impacted our metrics and this month we were restricted. Yes - our fault. That said, I don't agree with the 12 month measurement period. Just w...

Why doesn't eBay fix the "Report Listing" feature?

This is another MAJOR flaw in the eBay system. It is too difficult to report a listing and even when that is done, nothing happens! Look, one day I went and looked at Emergency Contraceptives on eBay. To my horror there were plenty of listings that w...

EBAY 40% SELLING PENALTIES STARTING OCTOBER 1ST

What's the logic behind hiding TRS status from buyers when not offering free return shipping?

Ebay decided to "incentivize" (some would say extort) top rated sellers to provide free return shipping for any reason by eliminating their TRS discount if they don't comply. I don't agree with this strategy but at least I can see the logic behind it...

Spamming Vintage & Antique Categories with New Merchandise & Duplicate Listings too
