Item switch in mail

I've been on E-Bay a lot of years. This is the weirdest one I've had. I shipped a pair of cowboy boot across country and the buyer received someones prescription from CVS that came from my town. somehow my boots label was removed and attached to this...

Cost per Click

Ebay does a lousy job explaining what cost per click promoting is. Can anyone explain to me?

Proof of ownership

Most of the items I sold on ebay I barterd for or were purchased years ago and i do not have receipts for. After I sent out (were delivered) 20 items totalling $3000.00 and $300 in shipping out of pocket. They restricted my account (mc011 ) They are ...

I have received a letter from my state saying that I have files that haven't been returned for taxes & I have 15 days to get this done. The problem is that I haven't ever received a letter like this & I've been selling for over 15 years! So, what in ...

Thoughts on freight Forwarders? I see it as a loophole for scammers to scam. Am I wrong?

Why doesn't eBay support sellers when a buyer uses a freight forward company?

Not all buyers that use freight forward companies in the U.S. are bad, but eBay says freight forward buyers do not qualify for eBays Money Back Guarantee, yet if I cancel a sale from a freight forward buyer, that buyer can leave negative feedback. Ad...

New AI Generated Item Description In Catalog is Dangerously Bad

I don't know how many sellers have noticed, but eBay is now using some sort of AI to generate "About This Product" text for its catalog. Firstly, it seems like being assigned to a catalog entry is no longer easy. Even if you don't use the catalog to ...
