Local Pick-up Buyer is asking for phone number, already paid, feels suspect

My interaction with this buyer has been odd from the start. I listed a large and heavy item as local pick-up only. They messaged me asking if I could box up the item and they would have UPS pick it up and deliver it several states away. I declined. A...

RE: shipped ESE item to buyer's given work address, buyer wanted it shipped to their home address...

original post for context buyer has opened not one, but 4 claims (there were 4 items in the order). even though people are saying to let ebay step in, prove the tracking, and win the case, from what i understand it will still count as 4 defects on yo...

Messed up store search, just wrong

If I go to my store and put in a item name it will say 2 match at top, scroll down past them and shows all items that has anything close to that title. Like I put in norman deep little n, it'll show a 2 match, scroll down and any listings that has th...

Negative feedback as a product review

I recently recieved a negative "cheap made". Requested to have it removed because it's of a product review instead of a feedback based on seller performance. The request has been denied the first time and again after I called. This particular buyer n...

AI is messing up my Listings

I've been trying to do my listings today (without AI I hasten to add) but as I'm typing, AI appears to be taking over control of my keyboard! Words are changing, it's highlighting words, deleting words, jumping backwards and forwards. Very frustratin...

Sales Tax

What was the date Ebay started collecting Sales Tax?

Was charged a promoted ad fee 8 days later on organic sale.

I sold a comic on May 30th. Today 8 days later I noticed they charged me an ad fee. The sale showed up in my traffic as organic and on the listing did not have a "sold via promoted listing". What I am concerned about is eBay arbitrarily going back an...

Listing an item that is not a presale, but is only available elsewhere for presale?

I can't seem to find the answer to this online, so I'm asking here to see if anyone has run into this yet! We obtained (through a customer, no idea how they got it) a copy of a set of books, still sealed, that is currently only on presale from the ma...

Most item specifics are a total waste of time and drag down sales.

A good example is constantly asking the region as the United States but also wanting to know what continent which is North America. Duh! Or constantly wanting to know about the diamonds in costume jewelry. NONE. Because by definition costume jewelry ...

Quick question about sales tax

A prospective purchaser wants to know if eBay collects sales tax based on the seller's location or the purchaser's location. I said I believe it's based on the purchaser's state. Is that correct?

Resolved! email from eBay?

Did anyone else get this email (not in eBay messages) from eBay? Does it look legitimate to you?

accepting returns?

Those of you who accept returns but used to not, what kind of sales increase did you notice after the change? I currently do not accept returns for many reasons, but if the increase in sales is high enough I might change my mind. Please tell me any i...

Giving away more stuff

I'm saving time and money by giving away locally as opposed to listing, packaging, paying for shipping...just to be forced to refund my money and end up giving item away anyway. The result is the same. Today's item was a tested bread machine that was...

On sell similar - and when we tried to edit from scheduled copy - Even opened other sell sim... - all loaded without option to pick a condition.

Did they take away Support Chat or is its not being there another glitch?

The chatbot is useless, so I typed in "agent" and the bot said to choose how I wanted to contact an agent, but only gave me the Call Back option. Can't "choose" if there's only one option. Did they take it away? I searched announcements and "What's N...
