Ebay Buyers Bidding with no Intention to Pay

I have noticed this new trend where buyers will now put out 5-6 bids on an item. If you accept they then wait to see if another person might accept a lower bid. Without having the option to give negative feedback anymore the buyer can now just say, "...

Just had something weird happen with a buyer

So I never heard of this all these years I’ve been selling on and off. I have a watch for sale. I had a buyer email me and said they would offer me $60 and buy it today. I said deal and that I would add a BIN for $60 to the listing. They emailed back...

I have 24 vintage toy cars - Hot Wheels, Matchbox and a couple of odd ones. They are all very good condition. Where can I find out their value and if they are common or rare?

Thursday Night Tinkering...

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that there's some tinkering going on tonight (seems more invasive than normal). When I tried to post a new listing I got a "something went wrong" message, but then it showed up under my active listings. Also, m...

Is black the new white?

Hello - Is black the new white? I thought google and ebay and others wanted only white background on items - let's say jewelry for instance. I keep seeing more and more items with a total black background on searches. Didn't Amazon start this white o...

Are Your Sells Slowing? Why Pay For A Store When Your Listings Are NOT Being Seen??

The problem is way bigger than most think, mainly because most sellers do not take the time to read. New requirements for sellers to update all their listings to conform with the new 'catalog listing requirement' is beginning. We've been feeling its ...

What does it take??

What does it take to make any real money on eBay?? I'm not going to spend a fortune in fees to get 3,000 listings & have 4% of them sell; which wouldn't even cover the cost of the fees! eBay really needs to look at allowing free listings, permanently...

I stop selling... shipping fees make it not even worth it anymore

With shipping fees going higher every few months, I stop selling (I have another account where I usually had like over 100 listings). I'm not a super seller, but for about a year I was a TRP seller. Most of the stuff I sold were stuff my kids outgrew...

Resolved! Coming soon? Sellers may not raise a price. REAL reason some see fees after edits!

I wonder ... The new ebay help pages are not only much less helpful that the old pages, they are kind of scary. Do they portend things to come? Case in point, according to the article, "Revising a listing", sellers may edit listings to lower the pric...

I have a buyer who is trying to get me to send a PayPal money request to purchase a phone I have for sale. I wouldn't be surprised if it's someone's account that has been hacked because the account is showing membership since 2005 but only two feedba...
