eBay has changed

I sold on eBay in the beginning and it was spectacular. Big business took over and it has gone down hill from there. I quit selling because I just could not make money any longer. I had to buy items at, at least 90% below retail and it was just a hit...

EBay commission

Can anyone kindly explain this to me:Three days ago, I sold a South Sydney Rabbitoh's cooler-bag to a guy in Chile, being a huge Russell Crowe Fan. The Sales price was $24 and I had charged him $22.80 for postage - Total $44.80. Ebay sent me an insan...

Resolved! How do you find the price for your items?

I sell pretty simple things- as you can see! Sometimes they sell the day after I list them, and sometimes they are up for months. Should I make the price a little steep with free shipping? Or should I make it very reasonable with shipping costs? Than...

when eBay delists items, the listing reverts to its original version

back in Dec '23 eBay delisted my entire store of 2000 items when a buyer reported fraud. After a few days, eBay cleared me to resume my store telling me I can return my items from draft to active. Little did I know that eBay had altered the multi-ite...

Selling products that are Best Sellers

Hi eBay community,I'm new to selling on eBay and could use some guidance from experienced sellers. I have a few questions if you don't mind sharing your knowledge and strategies:How do you research and identify products that sell well on eBay? What t...

Resolved! Please Help! Item Not appearing in Search Results

I have several items listed on eBay that are not appearing when I search them. I've started to use Zik Analytics to better position myself, but the items don't even appear on their website. It's like they don't even exist on eBay at all. I've even sp...

Do you want my info or don’t you???

I got this red banner on one of my accounts when I signed on yesterday. It says eBay is withholding my payouts until I update my account details. And it gives me a deadline to avoid further restrictions.I clicked into that banner and it has a field f...

Ebay's fees are getting ridiculous

This is on a laptop, If you don't promote, Ebay pushed you to the bottom. Why do we pay promoted listing fee on taxes? I understand on the final value fee but not on promoted Order total$332.00eBay collected from buyerSales tax-$25.30Selling costsTra...

1099k based on Gross

I'm sure the subject has come up and the "know it alls" have had their say, so I'm basically just complaining..Anyway, it sure would be less complicated if ebay could report the actual income received by the seller, instead of the gross.

1099-k 2024 calendar year is now 600

EBAY has changed the reporting threshold to 200/0 transactions for the 2024 selling calendar year. So ebay is no longer fighting or even looking at the $5000 proposed for 2024 by the IRS earlier this year. https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credi...

Resolved! Velcro versus Hook and Loop

So I have a listing that specifically says Hook and Loop. I don't use the word Velcro anywhere on there. I have no idea if it's really Velcro or not, so I err on the side of caution and I doubt that it is. I get a message from a buyer saying they "wa...

What I believe......

A lot of people are trying to figure out why their eBay sales or any online selling might be failing. As far as I'm concerned, there is little doubt the number of changes in the world, following COVID & how the inept politicians handled it, is the do...

Buyer paid but payment not showing

I sold an item and the buyer paid. The payment is not showing up in my funds as it normally does. This listing required immediate payment. It shows the promoted listing fee was deducted under the activity, but nothing else. When I click on payment de...

Why is the Pricing Research tool so lousy, and always in the 'cheap' direction?

I'm convinced eBay purposely programmed the pricing research tool ('See similar listings' on the listing creation page) to provide only the lowest-priced examples of recently sold items, even if it means omitting better matches. Prove me wrong. But b...

Items Dropped from Drafts

Has anyone else created listings, saved them to drafts only to find that they've been mysteriously dropped from the Drafts Page when I went to make them live?
