Frequent topic, yet to date it has no resolution. Ebay profits by collecting from sellers a percentage on the taxes it collects on each transaction. Defenders say it costs this amount for Ebay to remit taxes to the various states. For example, a $1k ...

Does anyone else have a hassle with international buyers complaining I’m charging to much.

When it comes to international selling I’m getting people getting massive angry at me for what I’m charging them for shipping fees. I wish eBay explained to them better that I’m not the one charging them that shipping fee. I’m getting to the point wh...

My seller rights have been downgraded thanks EBay!

Why does eBay hide item descriptions on the mobile app?

Whenever I pull up one of my own item listings on mobile, whatever I entered into the item description field is hidden behind a "see full description" link. It confounds me that the most important details that a seller would take the time to fully ex...

Online buyers take advantage of sellers *ALL* the time and then... *When* a buyer makes a mistake (yes it does happen) in the midst of a transaction (which turns the tables in the seller's favor), *THEN* they want sellers to help them out!!! And IF t...
