Why is autodecline totally ineffective at stopping lowball offers?

Ok,I sell a lot of stuff that there is no set in stone price. Lets say I have a laptop, that needs a power supply, battery, hard drive and may show some use. Its worth somewhere between $60 - $80. I price it at $78.99, free shipping, and depending on...

Too Much Worthless Stuff!

First I clean out all my stuff, and take a pickup full of junk, to the dump. While there, I noticed thousands of books in the dumpster I'm throwing my junk into... I thought, such as waste. It looked like a bookstore dumped its entire inventory. So o...

"CHEATER." The seller message I won't send.

Trying to find a last minute gift today I searched only listings with returns accepted. I spent the longest time looking at one item. I read the description but skipped over the blah blah about policies. I already knew what I needed to know. Just bef...

Resolved! How to answer buyer's questions

I am asking my fellow ebay sellers how to answer a question politely when that question is ridiculous. Such as if the item is new when the ad says, "new."

Resolved! So done.
