You have got to be kidding. Please tell me this isn't the new norm??

When I do a search it defaults to time ending soonest. The first thing I do is change it to lowest price first as I'm sure a lot of buyers do. If a buyer misses the tiny line at the top to expand the search, 24 seller's items are not shown. Even more...

FYI when listing Free Returns

I was working on listings this morning and decided to check my placement in search on some items - imagine my surprise when I saw Free Returns on a listing I put up 3 weeks ago. I looked at all my items - filtered Free Returns and found 39 listings w...

Ending an auction early

Has anyone ever ended an auction early? As in, sold at that price, right now, to the current high bidder. I'm guessing as a bidder if you were watching and waiting to bid, you'd be miffed you'd missed your chance. As a seller, most sellers want to le...

Resolved! Measurements and clear photos are not Enough for buyers?

I am literally sick over this neg and return. Buyer opens SNAD - the reason being she DOES not read the description, she only looks at the photos and my photos are misleading.Of course Ebay did not see this as buyer's remorse. I accepted the return, ...

Resolved! FEEDBACK FARCE

Buyers can too easily abuse the system by claiming that they have not received an item and getting their money back. There seems to be no way of regestering that a claim for non delvery has been made. There should be so that other sellers are forwarn...

are you good at predicting what will sell?

I am looking at my options in May for downsizing my store. This will require removing listings - in the case of the Starter Store, drastically. That would be fine if I could get the same number of sales I get now (not stellar) with smaller inventory....

USPS Priority Flat Rate Boxes for Regular Priority Mail
