Dimensional Weight

I ended a few large-ish items today that will have dimensional weight come into play. Items have been listed for months, but if I didn't remove them sure as heck someone will buy on Saturday and new size/weight standards will be in effect when I go t...

Traffic report not updating since March 26

Ebay traffic no longer updating and no new data since March 26? Anyone else have this problem? I use data from the traffic report to track impressions for the products I sell most consistantly to see if there are any seasonality in my demand or any b...

SALES DOWN 72%, Views down 76%, Impressions down 68%.

I'm not sure what to say. Ive been trying to adjust and figure out how to adapt for many months. I'm not sure there is a fix. My year over year numbers are devastating. Sales down 72%, views down 76%, Impressions down 68%. This time last year it was ...

Buy it now changed to accept low ball offers?

I changed an item 2x now NOT to accept offers. The first I caught myself. The second time I was given an offer 70% of my asking price. So I ended auction, relisted & took a screenshot. With all the fees etc, I don't take offers on certain items. What...

I HAVE HAD IT WITH EBAY !!!!!

So for the past week I have been going back and forth with Ebay on charging me an insertion fee on items already listed when all I was doing with editing the return policy or some other item on bulk listing. They still had not credited me to for that...

No Sales in 3 days?

We've tried everything we can figure out. We are a relatively new company (getting ready to hit our 1 year ebay anniversary), and sales were starting to really take off. $50-$100 a day on average, and then the last 3 days... nothing. Is anyone else e...

I have tried to list a few items today. I hit the "sell" button and the screen comes up to put in the title of what I want to list. I put in the title and nothing happens---no choice of suggested categories, no nothing. I try just putting one or two ...

10% Ebay Bucks Buy or Sell Promotion

Check your accounts and activate it if you got the promo this morning. I did on both of mine. In light of the consistent downgrade of this platform I’d like to say Thanks to whoever did this at EBay for at least trying to bring customers our way.

GTC default screws Basic Store sellers

Now I have to manually end underperforming GTC listings early to prevent automatic relisting. This may cause me to miss a sale from a buyer who may wait until the last moment to buy. For once eBay, listen to your customers and make a fair decision. I...

Aside from the fact that GTC pretty much sucks, the numbers are missleading.

It seems that each time a GTC listing is relisted, the "view" count carries over and becomes cumulative. This makes it difficult to determine actual views for each listing period. When a listing gets only a few hits in 30 days I would cancel it. Now ...

Regional Rate A & B Boxes

brian@ebay& @ship_like_a_pro Following up on this post. USPS rates are going up again in January and this time it looks like Regional Rate boxes can no longer be fudged through eBay's calculator by using a set weight (like 2lb for reg rate A). Will t...

Buyer created multiple accounts to leave negative feedback.

So a **bleep** off buyer created multiple accounts to buy cheap priced items off me and then claim they were damaged for a refund. They would then leave negative feedback. Did some investigating and found out this was the same person and Ebay is look...

Whoa - sales tax? I won an auction for a high priced item.

The price was steep (over $500) but I wanted the item and carefully calculated the total cost of the item, by including the cost of item and shipping. I now got an invoice that added nearly $50.00 sales tax! I honestly would not have bid up the item ...
