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...

FYI: No Penalty to end Store Subscription early due to the GTC 2019 Seller Update

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...

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...

Sold history only goes back 60 days?

Am I nuts, or does my sold history only go as far back as 60 days? If that's the case, and I'm not missing something, this is another example of why eBay is a sinking ship.

Importance of White, Black or Neutral Plain Background for Item Photos

Hi @readabouthorses, a white item on a white background is a great example of a time where a white background would not be advisable. The item should be clearly visible, but a different neutral background would be best in this situation. For most ite...

Riding the Pony

No rants or raves here, just my own view of the recent changes. eBay has been very good to me over the last 15 years and I will continue to use them as a sales venue as long as I can adapt to their changes. The GTC thing is a little aggravating and w...

This could be be simple solution . All buyers that have a return go through the local post office. If is an exchange then to seller for proper exchange. If damaged collect the insurance from the post office. If the product is an expensive item (aka a...

Forced/redirected to bulk sell. Quick list option gone?

Since the last couple of days I can no longer use quick sell, when editing draft items it goes to bulksell. A call with Ebay is a complete circle jerk. It is so frustrating and such a waste of time to use bulk sell. Anyone else experiencing this? So ...
