Ebay continues to enable dishonest buyers with this policy

"Seller should cover the cost of return shipping and offer a paid return shipping" Right so not only will bad buyers buy merchandise, alter it for parts and such, damage it, and want to return it, but now seller also has to pay for the return shippin...

eBay has requested that the funds from this eBay sale be held temporarily

"eBay has requested that the funds from this eBay sale be held temporarily. Money that has been put on hold by eBay will move to your available balance automatically within 21 days." Received an email saying this. No idea why. Seems weird, and unfair...

Buyer requested refund, never returned item and barely responded after return deadline

Ebay sides with buyer on $550 item - Seller protection is a joke

So I have sold about 45 items in the past couple months with most valued over $400.00. I have one buyer that claims he received books instead of a $550.00 video card. I take pictures of all the items as they are being packaged and I always require si...

Buyer opened "doesn't seem authentic" return before they received the item. Ebay says buyer is right

I have a 2 business day handling time. Buyer purchased on friday and opened a case on monday saying "doesn't seem authentic" because I hadn't shipped the item yet. I called ebay asking them to close the return because the buyer hadn't even received t...

Resolved! Buyer left unfair and inaccurate feedback

Recently, I sold an Elna Pro 905 DCX serger for $310 not including shipping. The day it was delivered she messaged through eBay and said it was great except for some items missing. One of the items is a piece that is installed in the machine. The oth...

Powerseller Calculation Changed?? Please clarify?

I noticed today as I was browsing our "My eBay > Account" page, that there was a flag on the Powerseller Level bar, saying that that our Powerseller level dropped. Previously I believe we were titanium (or at least platinum), and now we are silver?I ...
