Seller requesting invoice before payment

Hi I accepted an offer for an high value item which was listed as free postage within the UK. I usually use Ebay Simple postage when I charge postage. Buyer wants an invoice before payment but Ebay will not let me send an invoice, even though I am of...

Global Advertising!

You can advertise all you want, however the REAL problem is the cost of shipping. That includes using eBay shipping. My international sales (primarily Europe) have plunged 30-35% since USPS, and eBay shipping costs have exploded! Very hard to ship so...

Resolved! It happened again: Accepted offer not showing up in Orders Folder

Another offer accepted and it's not showing in the orders section - nor did I get an email saying that the buyer was notified. When I go to see the status it says "awaiting payment". And then it states 18 hours. Is that when it expires for the buyer ...

Thoughts of Closing Store

Hi Everyone! I hope this finds each of you doing well. I just wanted to share my feelings about my store and possibly closing it. The year has not been kind to many of us. Some are doing great. Others doing awesome. A mixed bag. I've been doing this ...

WATCHLISTS

I know that potential buyers can do whatever they want, and that they have many reasons for putting an item on their Watchlist--but am I alone in wanting to say to them "For the love of all that is holy, will you PLEASE just bid?!!" End of rant.

Reverse porch pirate!

Outgoing shipment stolen from my mailbox. Entering trak # on USPS website brings up error code 500. What do I do?

Resolved! Funds being held - If you have the same problem, please read

I have recently sold an item for $12,000, eBay vaguely explains that expensive items and I quote expensive items are subject to a longer hold. Period. But they do not define what that dollar value is. I sold the item obviously because I need the mone...

Resolved! Can someone explain eBay fees?? Help!!

I am soooo confused!!! Why is it I never even get close to what I think I will get after sale. I sold a purse for $10 and did not promote and buyer paid shipping and tax. My end profit was $5.76 which is like 43-46% taken out by eBay??? When they cla...

How to force the "your price is XX% higher" Popup

Within the seller hub, many of us have become familiar with the "Your Price is XX% Higher Than Similar Items, Adjust your price yada yada yada." This popup, while sometimes inaccurate, is really great when you have over 1000 listings and speeds up th...

No consistency in auto pay, no pay, 7 day pay, and so on. Who is deciding which of those are active?

I had about 12 to 15 auctions. When they ended, some have no restrictions so if they didn’t pay, I just cancelled and relisted. Others have autopay in 7 days “buyer still wants to shop…” then some I couldn’t combine the shipping because one of the au...

I'm tired of logging into my account every 30 minutes and playing stupid Captcha games..

Does eBay want my money or not? How am I supposed to be productive on the site when I am constantly being forced to log in and lose work in the process? Tried getting help from support and they just treated my like I'm an idiot. Granted eBay support ...

Resolved! Phantom sales and or eBay fraud.

Isn’t it interesting how eBay will delete your comments when it gets too close to their questionable business practices. Previous eBay employee told me that they steal things from the public all the time. They create a sale get the merchandise shippe...
