I'd like to take a moment to thank you all that have been helpful in getting me to 1 year. Taking the time to answer questions that I'm now sure you have answered 100s of times.Coming here to read and learn has been a ride in and of itself. So thank ...
With the new terrible update for promoted listings (any click from anyone, not the buyer, now causes the promoted fee charges, lol) my promoted listing charges are being delayed by days. It's incredibly frustrating to try and keep my sales and number...
Okay so not a complaint but a general question. I sold an iPhone with the description explaining that the earpiece volume is very low.The buyer has messaged me stating that the earpiece doesn’t work at all, and requested a full refund and to keep the...

Got a official cancel request from someone who had just bought something and this message"Hi, I didn't realize your ebay page said this item was out of stock until after I ordered it. Will you have anymore of these anytime soon?" I did not see this f...

a brand-new buyer purchased a snap ring off of me and left a negative said its NOT round. all snap rings are round and are heat treated so he obviously lied. can i do anything to get the feedback lifted?
I only promoted like 30+ items...all at 20%.Wanted to see if any new 'improved' changes are really new or 'fair'.I wonder how high a seller promotes to get to be at the top of a search item.So, even though I clicked on lowest price of similar items.....
Why does my eBay no longer allow me to require immediate payment it just says eBay managed payments-MOCC
So I un-promoted everything and promoted a few items on January 14th to understand how the new promoted thing works.I did sell one item promoted at 20% yesterday...rather high I know but I am looking to obtain repeat buyers.So the 'Final Value Fee' p...
