What improvements/features would you like to see?

1) It would be nice to be able to toggle inventory on and off without having to either end the listing or change the quantity to 0. Especially if selling from more than one location and you need intermittent access of inventory at different times. 2)...

sales trend - January

December was a disappointment for the most part, very little of the traditional holiday surge. So far January sales h ave been stronger (for me, your sales goals may differ). I detect a slowing now that it's getting later in the month. The wild card ...

On my "manage active listings" page, the auctions I have bids on are no longer a different color.

Until a few days ago whenever I would get a bid on something, the current price would be green instead of black so you could spot it immediately. Now ALL the numbers are black whether they have a bid or not so I do not know if there is a bid on my au...

Ghost Listings (Yes Again)

I once again encourage others to check your listings in some kind of sort order. My belief is that bulk listings glitch and you can get caught with two exact items listed. This just happened recently and unless I am missing something these two listin...

Good morning. I am sure it has been explained multiple times but why it is possible to put negative feedback when you are the one receiving the item but none if you are the one selling the item? Seems like it is an incentive for shady people. I have ...

Almost tax filing time. Like the majority of sellers I have my eBay business financial info stored online. However, I take the time to make printed copies of my monthly eBay financial statements. Just in case. I don't bother printing them every month...

Contacting a live person at eBay

Does anyone know how to contact a real person at eBay. I am being unfairly charged a $50 fee for a refund a seller asked for. I have been on the eBay website for hours and despite it saying you can be connected to a live agent the automated service t...

Customer makes purchase. I ship the next day using eBay standard envelope. After ten days item has not delivered customers opens up a case. I ask for a few days as mail has been slow during the holidays and he said no. So I refunded him to close the ...
