EBay: We're not sure if it's a real stamp, so we ended your listing.

Millions of stamps listed on eBay. For some reason eBay chose to end one of my listings and the best the CSR could come up with is "We're not sure if its real." If that's their reasoning, they better hire a few hundred workers to start taking down al...

eBay added a photo to my listing!

Heads up! I've been selling here for too many long years to count! A shopper just wrote and asked about a pair of jeans I have listing as she was a bit confused. A photo of an entirely different brand was included in the photos of my listing along wi...

Giving discount for multiple purchases?

Hello, I have a buyer who won an auction of mine, and asked if I would give her a discount if she purchased several items I'm selling and ship them together. I'm happy to do that. I did the math, and am willing to give her an overall discount plus sh...

WAS I PUNISHED FOR CANCELLING LISTINGS BEFORE GTC ROLLOVER? : Sales were going along normally albeit slower than years past, and in order to avoid GTC automatically rolling over 200+ listings, I cancelled them, so I could add new items and remove wha...

Resolved! Creating label error

Hi I was selling it and when I attempted to print the label it stated that the “Ship To” zip code was invalid. So I looked up the address and it turns out the address associated to this purchase has been known for empty box scams. I am not sure how t...

Books - change in item specifics?

I went to create a listing under Nonfiction and the SYI form came up with dozens of item specifics I haven't seen before. Are they actual item specifics or keywords? Confused by the whole system to be honest.

Tracking number without delivery to P.O.

I bought an item and got a tracking number. I noticed that another buyer said that he also got a number and the guy never took it to the post office. Seems that is also my story. Since I am also a seller, I get frustrated with sellers like this. Is t...

Resolved! Good Til Cancelled GTC Question about specifying ending date in listing

Hi all. Like a lot of people on here, I'm not particularly happy with the Good Til Cancelled policy. But, there's not a lot I can do about it. I have found in the past that for my sales, people either buy stuff the first or second day, or within a da...

Sudden pile of inquiries about 2-year old listings
