Update on Current Good 'Til Cancelled (GTC) Renewal Issue

Dear Sellers, We are currently experiencing a technical data processing delay that has temporarily impacted the timely processing of some Good 'Til Cancelled (GTC) renewals, affecting the visibility of certain seller listings and listing count on Act...

Something Nice You Can Do For Your Post Office

I stopped by my Post Office to ask for a padded envelope. The postal worker told me they only get them if customers bring them in, as they are unable to order. I told her if she could find one, I would bring her a package of them. Guess what? She fou...

eBay's policy on Shipping & Handling charges feedback

I've seen several posts regarding the unjustified negative feedback sellers receive for their shipping and handling charges, but my question is, why does eBay even allow negative shipping and handling feedback when a seller (me) does not charge a han...

With the new Good Til Cancelled listing we still get an allocation of 50 items per month free. With the new procedure if we take advantage of a special promotion offered ....for example "list additional 100 items for free/no insert fees" .....will th...

The Importance Of Regularly Reviewing your Seller Dashboard.

I check my Dashboard on a regular basis. I had just looked at it yesterday and saw no issues, but today was a different story. I had two defects that showed up overnight. Not always a concerning thing nor does it mean something is wrong with Ebay sta...

Scamming A Seller

There is officially no eBay policy that protects sellers from being scammed. That's right -- there is no seller protection from being scammed.

Cancelled my listings and taking it all to Goodwill! Forced GTC forced me out!

Its been fun! Its been real! But I’m so done being forced into more nonsense by this VENDOR telling me what to do as a condition of use. My products, my photos, my time, my money. Bye bye ebay. And no, I won’t let the door hit me in the butt on the w...

5 cent listings, 10ish days before mandatory GTC

I can't believe that eBay would find anyone dumb enough to accept eBay's offer of 5 cent listings a mere more than a week away from the items re-listing GTC. In short, you'd be basically listing everything that doesn't sell by the end of the month fo...

Weather the storm Stay on Ebay!

I urge all you sellers that have been complaining of poor sales and increasing fees to hold your course. Stay on Ebay and continue to drop your prices. Keep paying those ever increasing fees for everything. Ebay does care about you. You are the peopl...

My visit to China, the Chinese eBay strategy,and our loss in Sales.

I went to China to visit a tea pot factory, while there in Bejing learned the Chinese eBay strategy. I thought the Chinese sellers were all independent. They are not. The Govt pays them to buy eBay stores, gives them money for Store and Sales package...

False buyers

So I had an item up for auction.. I'm quite a new seller. It's an iPhone, no buy it now or best offer. Within the first hour I had probably about a dozen messages telling me they'll buy it now because it's for a 'present' for someone else. Ignored al...

Hello Sellers! Earlier today I contacted eBay Customer Support wanting to cancel my store subscription due to the GTC change for fixed price listings in the Seller Update 2019 and I was able to do so without having to pay the penalty for early termin...

Resolved! eBay giving buyer a refund without notifying me (the seller), or updating my item as sold!

Ok, so this is a weird story - wanted to see if this happened to anyone else, and if I should take any steps to protect my account. I received a (legitimate) notice from Paypal that one of my items had sold (an infant snowsuit), and that I had receiv...

Does anyone find ?????????

Are any sellers finding that the make an offer people are become more aggitated and rude towards sellers that do not offer a huge discount? I have had a rash lateley and they are getting more and more aggitated and rude and then sending messages like...

Negative Reaction to Harry Temkin, VP of Seller Experience - Good ‘Til Cancelled Update

I reviewed the message of Harry Temkin, VP of Seller Experience and found this decision extremely short-sited and inaccurate for my situation and my colleagues. As someone who has worked hand-in-hand with Jeff Bezos for a number of years, eliminating...

How Close To The Rollover Can We Cancel Listings? Is There A Penalty When 100+ Are Cancelled?

I like to take advantage of the Free Listing Specials, which I have noticed have become fewer, and sometimes that are Fixed Price Only. Good Till cancelled suggests that they can be cancelled at any time. Does that mean even 5 minutes before a rollov...
