Long weekend selling drought!

This weekend has been a total sales drought (1 sale) for me. A local person who sells similar items (competitor) has been having booming sales this weekend (usually sells similar amounts to me). How have your sales been?

Suspicious buyer

The buyer contacted me that they received a message that their item was delivered, but when they checked their mailbox was empty. The tracking number showed me that the package was delivered a few minutes before the buyer contacted me. I advised the ...

YTD I have Paid More to PayPal than to ebay! Anyone else?

Just took a look at my numbers and it looks like, YTD, I have paid more to PP than to ebay. PayPal - 3.21%ebay - 3.15% Guess what hurts a seller is low cost items where that PP "per transaction fee" is a significant percentage relative to the sold pr...

Need simple combined shipping instructions for buyers

I often sell multiple items, but at least half the buyers are confused by the instructions for requesting a revised invoice. (There is no consistency in my items, so pre-set combined discounts won't work.) I have tried different ways of explaining th...

Another prime example of why sales are so bad.

I'm looking for a Peloton cycle. The name Peloton is pretty unique so I typed in peloton under all categories. I figured I'd get all of the peloton cycle, peloton bike, shoes etc. Try it and watch the AI magic (I'm using Chrome.)

Apple product sellers

Heads up to any Apple product sellers who aren't authorized to sell Apple items - take a peek at this video and hope it doesn't happen to Ebay! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4zvCDDYILM https://www.macrumors.com/2018/11/09/apple-amazon-new-product-...

Every once in a while I pay attention

Just realized that, as discussed earlier, shipping is not showing on the page unless it is Free Shipping or Free Returns. What a pita to try to research pricing, most particularly on items I know are heavy and I know are costly. One more click. Haven...

Have the how-to-do-a-sale rules finally been finalized ?

Apologizing ahead of time for not researching/reading policies but, then again, would they be accurate/up to date? Anyway, I know something has to be listed for 14 days before it can be MM'd*. Or, did that change? What was the final decision on a rel...

Saw this online/reputable site. Copied and pasted, didnt know if this was real!?

eBay confirmed today that it will begin charging US sellers penalty fees for what it considers excessive claims or under-performance beginning October 1st. However, eBay UK sellers caught a break - earlier in the day, eBay UK announced it is postponi...

Resolved! Simple flat rate shipping - one for Canada and one for Worldwide. How do I set it up??

Apologies in advance if this question has been asked before. I’ve been searching for 2 days and can’t find an answer. So I’ve been selling vinyl records on another site for a couple years and just decided to start selling on eBay this week. I’ve had ...

Listed as Handmade but really Mass produced poor quality

This is listed as Handmade... Handmade Lovely Casual Clothes for 14 inch American Girl Wellie Wishers Doll. It is Mass produced NOT Handmade! This hurts us that actually do handmake our items. Ebay is so good at telling us we have listed in the wrong...

BIN Suddenly GTC

Anyone else noticing their BIN listings have converted to “good till cancelled”. They suddenly have some verbage that says something like “listed until sold or cancelled”. Wth? I can't have this, especially since I am not selling anything. I already ...

🛎️ You have listings that need to be relisted.

Can eBay please do away with this extra text in the titles of my emails? I need to see the Keywords of my listing. I am only getting one or two words, and that doesn't help me look for a particular listing, when most of the title of the email is "️ Y...
