What happened to attaching customers questions to my listing? Every time now when I click to add questions asked to my listings. They no longer show up. A lot of these questions other customers might need the answers I give. Did Ebay stop allowing th...

Sales crash $6000 (40%) in 1 month. Not 1 single sale out of 2000 listings in 3 days.

Selling fact for many

If you come to eBay as a seller & hope for a consistent amount of sales, you will be disappointed. Few highs; lots of lows. I had a HUGE Saturday last weekend. Approximately, $340 US in sales. Auctions & buy it now. Now it is Thursday & my total sale...

Resolved! Seller sold items in wrong condition. She is trying to relist them as Like New again.

I purchased two items from the same seller to combine shipping. She didn't really combine it and made about $3.00 on shipping but that's not the problem, I was still ok with the transaction. However once I received them, they definitely were Good con...

I have a buyer who contacted his bank after paying with an eCheck. It took awhile for the eCheck to clear, and then I shipped the item. Now Paypall has put the funds on hold, and say it could take up to 75 days for them to be unheld. I have provided ...

Confused - first return

I just had a request Friday to return a dress. Buyer says it’s smaller than stated in the listing and doesnt fit. Maybe. I won’t know until I get it back and re-measure. What I CAN’T tell is if she filed INAD or just used my return policy (I accept t...

I did not know this !

If a seller is subject to paying 14% FVF: Final value fee calculation: 10% of $9,640 = $964 (fee capped at $750). 4% of $9,640 = $385.60. Total final value fee: $750 + $385.60 = $1,135.60 So, ebay sticks that extra fee on the amount over the capped a...

Has anyone received negative feedback re ebay's collection of state sales tax?

I made my first sale of 2019 to Washington* the other day and tax was collected from the buyer. I know on the Buyer board that some think the seller is receiving the money. Wondering, in the case of a negative left because of this, if ebay will remov...

eBay Mastercard for selling fees.

Does anyone know if you use the new eBay mastercard to pay eBay fees, if it will give you 5% back on the first $1000 and 3% after that? 3% back plus the bonus 5% would be awesome at helping negate some selling fees.

Idea to protect seller's from scammers.

I would happily pay eBay 1% percent of each sale to have something like the GSP for shipping within the US. Especially for high ticket items.. send item to eBay.. let them check it, repack it and its all on them at that point. This would bring back a...
