Anyone here ever file a lost package claim on combined orders?

A family member told me recently that he wanted to purchase 3 different things from a seller, but they would not combine shipping. The seller said that if he combined the items into one package and that package got lost with USPS, that they would onl...

There is no rationale for this large discrepancy.

Does anyone else feel the frustration of trying to improve sales when you do a sold search on eBay & find that prices have absolutely no consistency? This is one of the finest examples I can see to show my meaning. Look up National Geographic Afghan ...

eBay will destroy your top-rated status if you ship first-class

eBay will destroy your top-rated status if you sell a small item and ship it first-class in a regular envelope. The reason for this is that eBay doesn't make any money on the shipping. They force you to spend $4-$5 to ship an item that should cost yo...

USPS return tracking

This is tracking for a very likely bogus defective return that ebay tells me is now actually returned to me despite what my lying eyes tell me. Its hilarious, on 3/21 2:27 Am it was 100 miles away from delivery to me in Illinois, 3/21 at 8:45 AM it w...

Thank you, eBay, for nothing!

Buyer files a return as "changed mind" 3 weeks after delivery, I accepted. Buyer ships item 4 weeks after I accepted, tracking shows stuck in transit, then out of nowhere, I receive an email from eBay that the buyer asked them to step in, and the cas...
