Offer amount changed without my knowledge or approval

I sent out offers yesterday and had a buyer message me for an even lower cost. When I checked the offer I had sent, which was 10%, it was showing as 10.01. I then checked the other offers I sent out to see if this was just a one-off, and they had cha...

When I "end listings" they are not showing up in the "ended listings" tab.

Most of my listings have several of the same item available. Almost daily, I'll end some listings and then "Sell Similar" to put them back up. I'm very careful to not do this with zero quantity listings, because they're gone for good after that. I on...

Once in awhile I have buyers who don't pay for auctions. Does anyone know if this can affect your search rankings or seller ratings?

Trouble with adding subcategories

Every time I add a subcategory all the items from the main category populate it. How do I prevent this from happening?

eBay needs to address the rampant problem with fake auto parts.

When I comp prices for most of my parts, which are usually generic, I see so many sales for "Genuine OEM" parts at prices that are obviously way to good to be true. In packaging that "appears" to be OEM packaging, but is in fact not. If for example a...
