30 views a day from 300 listing

Hello, I am selling mostly home products on small margins under 10%. I have grown my store from 20 listings to over 300 and the traffic seems like it was capped a while back when looking at the performance charts. I have the same amount of traffic or...

Penalty fees from goods coming from outside the EU.

Hello, all sellers outside the European Union. I am a seller and buyer from Sweden. Unfortunately nobody has mentioned to you that you will lose deals to Sweden and almost all goods will come back to you. The problem is that Swedish mail has been giv...

Difficult buyer

So I sold a cosmetic item 2 weeks ago, an eyeliner. I copied the title of the item exactly as is written on the box, retrieved the description for the item on the manufacturer's website. The item is called "infinity waterproof eyeliner." It's been tw...

Listings not searchable. Show on summary but not in store

So I noticed several listings I made around 12/10 were getting very little action. Then I figured out the listings were not searchable. Moreover, my store summary reflects 148 listings, but if you click in my name to view 'other items for sale' you w...

Okay. Here's the new plan.

I had four in a row difficult experiences with buyers lately.It's because i was on a phone. The new phone app doesn't show feedback left for others, or previous purchases. The worst was a buy-it-now, which I do not like. Scared the daylights outa me....

After posting a car for sale, I cannot find it using even a general search. Did I miss something?

My car is a 1994 Toyota Celica. If I search for "Toyota Celica," it should come up. Instead, I get 10 other Celicas but mine is not in there. Here is my search:https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR10.TRC4.A0.H0.Xtoy...

Resolved! Member since 1997- Getting scammed out of 1250 dollars right now: a horror story

Okay I'm being a little dramatic with my title but I'm pretty upset as I post this.. I purchased two DJI Mavic Platinum drone combos on eBay from another reputable seller. I was going to give one to a friend for his birthday but ended up getting him ...

I want to delete an item from my listings --how do I do that

I want to deletean item from my listings, how do I do that?

Why is ebay charging me AGAIN? They already got their cut

I sold one item for $171 total. I received $154 for the sale, a difference of $17, or 10%. I used a free listing (this is the only time I've sold anything), and since 10% is exactly what their fee calculator told me to expect, I thought we were done....

Photos

I find a lot of time is wasted taking photos that I feel don't add much value to a listing. Ebay systems seem to prefer three photos for every item. For many items this does not make sense. If I am selling a soccer ball, for example, what value does ...

Ebay and young people

I asked my college student if her friends buy on ebay. She said they all have Prime memberships so shop Amazon. They will go to ebay for oddball things. Her example was clothing for cosplay.

Is The Community growing?

When I log on to The Community about mid-morning EST there are usually anywhere from about 2900 to 5500 members logged on. This morning there were over 10,000. So is The Community growing or are the extra people having more issues than normal or tryi...

FEEDBACK : ISSUES WITH NEW SYSTEM

Is anyone else unhappy with the new Feedback system whereby you cannot leave legitimate negative feedback for a nonpaying buyer? There is no way to check a buyer's feedback to see any issues a seller has had with a buyer. A seller's feedback options ...

How Much "Communication" Do Buyers Expect??

I sold 2 little clamps for a sweater machine last week for $8.99 + $3.00 shipping. They were delivered to the buyer yesterday. She just left me a positive feedback BUT stated there was no star rating because I didn't communicate??? I shipped the item...
