Buyer messaged me email address without asking. Fees triggered?

I just made a deal with a buyer for two separate listings I had. The buyer wanted items removed from each of the listings but combined for a discount. I created a separate listing with the new items and price, but the buyer sent me his email address ...

“parts or not working”

I have grown tired of two parties on eBay- The Management and the Buying Scammers of which management has allowed to thrive on their site. In the last few years EBay has allowed these scammers to **bleep** my pocket of hundreds of dollars. The scamme...

Strange Offer

I have listed an iPhone 7 with a starting bid of £280. A buyer sent me a message asking what is the minimum acceptable offer and I replied '£250'. He has just sent me this strange (to me) message:'Thanks for getting back to me.I will offer you 390 GB...

eBay buyer protection, what about seller protection?

I’m trying to find my next course of action here and am wondering if anyone else has had this or something similar happen. To start off I have perfect feedback on eBay as a buyer and seller and have been a member since 2006. I sold an amp on eBay for...

Just got a message from a potential buyer that she was unable to buy because I don't ship to New York. Went to check my listing, and it just shows Calculate where the shipping cost should have been. When I click on it, no matter what zip code I added...

GOOD TILL CANCELED - SALES DOWN!

Been a huge fan of eBay for years and the avenue they provide my small business to move product. Change can be tough but I have always been open minded. But this new change forcing fixed priced listings to be "Good Till Canceled" is detrimental to my...

Shipping Cost: $51.06@Paypal.com vs $40.67@UPS.com

WOW! For non-eBay items, it's much easier to ship directly from my Paypal account rather than use my UPS account; with UPS, I have to enter all of the info and then come back at a later date to pay the bill with a credit card. Out of habit, and distr...

Any body else tired of E-bay adding Best Offer button to your items without your consent?

I have about had it with this. My listings are as low as I can go to be competitive after fees. I'm tired of editing my listings back to the way I had them & explaining to bid offers why I have declined there offer?????

Resolved! New buyer bids on product, immediately cancels it and leaves false negative feedback.

What steps should I take to get around this? It's rather annoying.

Not all Buyers are out there to get you.

I know, mea culpa! I have berated the buying side, not without knowing there are some of them that deserve more than being berated but this is not the case. The best case, and I feel bad about this, is that I sold a very heavy stereo to a person in O...
