Is this a scam?

I have two dresses that I listed for $200-250 and within the first hour I had offers for $300. They left in their notes to text or email them. I feel this is 99% sure a scam. Just wanted to check and see what others thought.

Dropdown lists

I've been looking everywhere to find out how to do this. If it's in Variations I don't understand the process. What I'm trying to achieve is creating a listing that allows me to create a list of all player cards available that buyers can see and sele...

Yet another sale hanging in the balance

Because there is no option to Request a Total from the seller available on the app. May I ask what on earth the rationale behind it's omission is? brian@ebay

On July 16 eight and 10 drafts that were about 15 days old were deleted from my account. The only draft not deleted was more than 30 days old. Two of the deleted drafts I had worked on July 15.I have contacted ebay four times regarding this issue and...

Watch Your Quantity On your listings!

I'm noticing that ebay's system is not deducting from available quantities like it should when items sell. I just noticed I was showing the same quantity of a item after 2 just sold in the same size and pattern. ( I had 5 left) one sold, and then ano...

What are your average costs as seller (including ebay fees, PayPal fees and postage)?

Mine are 31% of total sales.That seems pretty high, but I guess I can't complain when ebay provides worldwide exposure and traffic for sales.I also use ebay's mailing system. I have a mailing scale that makes it MUCH easier and less expensive (ebay g...

Good Til Canceled: How It's Affecting Me Personally (my first Community post)

I have never started a discussion in my 10 years on ebay and in 3 years of selling on ebay as a sole proprietor. I did $87,000 in sales last year and was on track for significant growth this year, until this new policy went into effect and has killed...

Scanning for duplicate listings

People have asked me for a Duplicate Listing Scanner, similar to my scanner for eBay Photo Size compliance, and I had declined in the past because it is too complex a problem. But I was again encouraged to create one, so here is the beginning of one....

Check your seller dashboard occasionally - invalid mark applied

I noticed I had two items with tracking issues marked in my seller dashboard. I was aware of one, which is a valid mark, but not the other. The mark was for tracking uploaded but no carrier scan. I checked the tracking information and there was no re...

Promoted listings

I don’t get any more prompts to do promoted listings at the end of listing my items. Why?

Disappearing Auctions

Never had this problem before. I had about 30 auctions ending at the exact same time. 7 of them had multiple bids on them. Auctions . I checked my awaiting payment section so I could send invoices and saw that three of the auctions werent listed. Oka...

Resolved! How to bullet proof your listing against returns

A lot of people are complaining that they get too many returns with cases, and all they have to do is just say that they don't accept them. My thinking is, if someone really wants something I have, they will buy it, an example of a bulletproof listin...

EBay's banning of all IVORY will soon be illegal!

Finally! I wrote to several congressmen and women about the broad ban of all ivory on ebay. I have finally heard back from them. It will not be long before they will not be able to ban all ivory. Here is one letter I have received: As you may know, m...

HOW IS GOOD TIL CANCELLED WORKING FOR YOU?

I am still waiting to see the good in GTC. When my listings had a time limit, it appeared that buyers paid attention to the fact that the particular item of interest, would be ending. Now, in my opinion, most buyers are not in a hurry to purchase an ...

Relisting without permission

I think it is totally unscrupulous that eBay now relists expired auction items with no bids without permission. The small print says "up to 8 times." In the past, after giving it a try, when the 7 days auction ended, if no bids, you might decide to d...
