Ebay has to get it's act together, please!

First of all, sales are absolutely abysmal. It feels like a waste of time listing anything. I just get a headache and upset stomach evertime I list now. I just looked at all my listings and now many show multiple watchers, but no views. Is that even ...

Why is Ebay putting BestOffer on my Auction?!!

Ebays' computer system changed my auctions to show a "Make Offer" option that I did not authorize and Ebay will not change this. It is my choice as a seller to decide how much I wish to put as a starting bid on my auctions. Ebay does not own my inven...

Love letter to eBay

Dear eBay, I loved you. It's been a great relationship up until the last few months. Now I feel you're stuck in some sort of middle age crisis where you've forgotten who you are, and you yearn to be something you're not. Youre electively killing off ...

Stop Selling on eBay. Return Policy. Double Listing Fees.

I've been selling items on eBay stochastically for 10 years now. Recent selling experience has caused me to pull all of my listings. eBay's new Buying system encourages customers to return items. Instead of having buyers simply push the "Leave Feedba...

Ebay does have Meetings with Sellers

Resolved! Mobile-Friendly Checker question

Is there a script that you can run that will identify which listings have an issue with the Mobile-Friendly Checker? Any other way possible without checking manually by going into listing and checking one by one?

Epic Fail!

If this happens tomorrow night, it will be the second time I've experienced this phenonemon! Most auctions I list here on eBay start at just 1 cent free shipping so that guarentees a sale, right? Let's put it this way, nothing is 100%! If I do not ge...

S, 'S, or No S at all

Now, you would THINK that "Betty Crocker" would pull up the maximum number, and not "Betty Crockers", and you would THINK that "Betty Crocker's" would pull up the same number as "Betty Crockers", which should also be the same number as "Betty Crocker...

RANT: How free returns destroyed my business model...

I never thought I say this, but I am starting to think I’m burned out on eBay. Suddenly, eBay is attracting the unreasonable impulsive buyer who cares nothing for the seller and just wants free rentals for 3-4 weeks and then a return, or the person w...

Parts & Accessories no longer have TRS+ Badge on listings

I just noticed this as of yesterday. Even though in Parts & Accessories we are exempt from Free Returns, which allows us to keep TRS+ as long as we meet 30 Day Shipping and 1 Day Handling, the TRS+ badge is no longer appearing on any listings. Even w...
