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....

We are a top rated plus anchor store selling pre-owned and new clothing, shoes and accessories with 11,500 items listed. (We are not hobby sellers - we have warehouse, office, emplyees). We add new items daily, promote listings (a joke), fill in titl...

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...

Getting blamed for scammers trying to scam me

After recently listing some furniture i’ve received multiple, seemingly automated requests to contact outside of eBay. I then added added a note to only contact me through eBay and pay via PayPal. The scammers seemed to have stopped but eBay sends me...

Not always getting emails that something sold?

In January I moved a couple dozen "slow movers" over to my long dormant second ID. I have 2 day shipping on that account, mainly because I don't always remember to check it daily. Sitting reading Selling this morning, it dawned on me that I hadn't ch...

Buyer complains about defective item but threw item away

A buyer bought a shirt and messaged to politely complain that the shirt is defective. They didn't demand anything, just complained and said they are sad because they liked the shirt. I usually end up just asking for a photo and sending them a replace...
