Hate hate the new designed FEEDBACK

It makes me NOT want to give feedback, and I think I'll bypass it.The old way of giving feedback was much more adaptable and fair IMO. This new way, where you (seller) has only two choices: Positive and Report Buyer.What happened to NEUTRAL?How about...

Multiple platform listing

I recently sent (12) books to Amazon FBA and cross listed them in E-bay. I had 2 sell on Amazon so far and on E-bay at the similar time frame. I had to cancel the E-bay sales and I wonder if things have changed or are the duplicate sales coincidence ...

I got scammed as a seller any advice?

I recently sold a gift card on ebay and sent the gift card code through ebay email. The next day I got an email from ebay saying that the buyer did not recognize the transaction and was disputing it through their payment method. Later that day ebay s...

PLEASE ADD MEASUREMENTS!

I can't for the life of me understand why so many seller's fail to add measurements to their descriptions. It isn't hard to state them or to show a yardstick or tape measure beside items. Yes, the size of the pillow, antique candlesticks, or wooden b...

AI descriptions are truly awful

While some people may think AI descriptions are useful, to me as a buyer they're a red flag, suggesting that the seller is either lazy or know next to nothing about the item being sold. The cheesy 50s advertising language ("experience the thrill of.....

Item taken down for counterfeit, though I specifically say it's an unbranded rubber beach tote?

I am so confused here. I listed a rubber beach tote bag that has no markings on it at all for sale. It was flagged and taken down as counterfit, and I lost on appeal. What?! It's literally an unbranded rubber tote bag. It's not representing any brand...

eBay doesn’t do anything for me.

I thought listing items I don’t use or don’t fit me and literally brand new worn once items would sell more on eBay but I’m very disappointed and I’m disappointed with PayPal too. Verified my account three times and they even charged me fees that the...

Resolved! if I put my store on hold for 4 months do I still need to pay monthly fees

Hopefully someone has the answer. if I put my store on hold for 4 months do I still need to pay monthly store fees? So many fees coming out of my profits when I sell an item since I am paying an extra 6.0% in fees since I am "below stands". 7 defects...

USPS plus Ebay Fees equals getting paid less almost quarterly for the same work

I became a full time seller in January of 2006 I jumped around from the smile to ebay, and back. I'm finally leaving this business because it's the only business I can see that is gonna give you a paycut multiple times a year. The post office rates h...

Dr Seuss books

I made three listings yesterday for Dr. Seuss books. Two were taken down for offensive material and one for price gouging. Other listings for the same books are still active and at higher prices than mine. What is going on?Are other sellers reporting...

Feedback for buyer requested canceled order policy

Can anyone explain the logic behind letting people leave feedback for orders they requested to cancel? Edit: I mean, they request to cancel the order, I process the request, I get neutral or negative feedback. Half the time they thought it was for so...

I sold an item. The buyer had asked if it was shipped yet and I sent him the tracking #. It seems to be stuck in Miami where the buyer lives. The buyer put my funds on hold and asked for a refund. I responded through the Ebay email with the tracking ...
