PayPal penalized me for good customer service (rant warning)

I come to ye and thee with hat in hand

Okay, admitting my Ludditeness here and asking for help. I have a billion (or two) different accessories that go with those Christmas village decorating sets. Some (a few) realize prices worth the time and effort of separate listings; most don't. The...

I thought it was a fluke. So I searched for a few. Ebay is definitely being favored. Who's responsible for that, I wonder?

Customer Service Reps Who Lack Basic Knowledge Need to Transfer Call to Another Rep

When I contact ebay and the rep does not know how to answer a question, there is no expedient means for them to transfer me to someone who can answer the question and they resist doing so upon my request. As a matter of fact, they more often than not...

How to discourage watchers that do not buy???

I listed a 10-pack of blank cassette tapes at Buy it Now for $35 plus $5 for shipping. The listing ended with 6 watchers and no buyers. I'm thinking of putting a disclaimer in my listing that I will start raising the price based on the number of watc...

How do new sellers deal with eBay's instructions?
