Promote

Hi! I’m a “newer” eBay seller. 6 months. 45 sales. I’m unsure if I should be promoting all my listings and what percent. It really cuts into profits but if needed to make sales I will keep doing. I usually do 10% sometimes 5%. Any feedback would be a...

"Free delivery in 3-6 days, 100% within 4 days" ugh!

Today I noticed this crazy *highlighted* description under the shipping for my items! There is no way that I want my listings to have the claim "100% within 4 days" that I absolutely can't stand behind. We all know that the USPS has issues and some t...

Defect removal requests

Hi everyone! A batch of twelve items we sold and shipped a few weeks ago, were subsequently lost by our carrier. When we were notified of this situation a few days later, I contacted each buyer via Ebay messaging, text message, and phone to notify th...

What's the best bookkeeping software that will integrate with eBay?

I'm looking for bookkeeping software for my eBay store that will track the various sales, expenses, etc. It also needs to be useful for tax time. I'd like to be able to import sales info for 2024 and 2025. It should also be compatible with some other...

Unresponsive buyer

hi, I made a mistake when I listed my two China bowls for sale. In the title I listed for but I only have two. The description was correct but the title was misleading. I had a buyer and they paid and that’s when I discovered the mistake. I wrote the...

International Shipping Obligation Insight?

Long story short, a buyer recently won an auction of mine and it appears that they are based in China. They haven't paid yet, so this is a legit hunch... but I'm a bit gun shy about this. I do have international shipping setup and I guess it didn't r...

Do these sellers think someone will actually buy some of the things they have listed?

I was looking for a particular food product on eBay because I have not been able to find it locally. Just browsing some of the items listed, which was interesting in itself, I was surprised to see some things listed that not only go against eBay poli...

eBay standard envelope is a scam

I have 26 cards that have shipped and have been received up to three weeks ago. All the buyers have received the cards. The shipping status won't update and the post office says it's what's problem and eBay says it's the post office problem.. Meanwhi...

View counter - bots vs "real people"

I would love for someone to explain, when my view count was much higher due to "bots", why were my sales much better? Since the elimination of said bots regarding active viewers, why do my sales compare to a computer code? - 0001000011000001000010110...

Listings no longer showing number of items sold?

Just noticed this tonight - and it is only on Chrome (also Chromium). Now when I click on any item for sale - it tells me the number of items still available, but the sales history is GONE. Still shows in Firefox though. As a seller, I have some item...

Ebay Fee Scam

Ebay is scamming sellers. I sold an item for 3000.00 they took out 459.00 plus taxes plus shipping label costs. I called a representative about the fees because they seemed a bit high. The rep reassured me the amout after fees was going to be 2667.00...

How long do you wait before posting buyer feedback?

I've just been wondering how long the average seller waits to leave buyer feedback. Is 3 days after product delivery sufficient? Or is that too small of a window to wait for a buyer to try to initiate a return or refund?

Auction listing insertion fees

I want to list items for 7 day auctions and have them auto relist if they don't sell. I get 250 free listings and under the basic store plan, I still only get 250 free auctions. Hypothetically that means I can only list 60 items since if they don't s...

HELP!!!

Help, I have a buyer that unintentionally left a negative review. They are trying to revise it, but don't know how. Is the only way for them to revise it, is for me to request it? Is there a way for ebay to allow them to revise it since it was an acc...
