Return shipping label
I'm new to ebay. This is my first return. I got an email saying the seller sent the shipping label. This is what I get when I open the email. There is no attachment attached. Is this all the seller has to do for the shipping label, or am I supposed t...

Refunding buyer twice through Paypal
I worked out a slightly discounted price with a buyer on a particular BIN item which did not give me the option of simply sending them a direct offer for a lower price. I let them know I would just issue them a refund through PP for the difference. F...
speedpak - anything but speedy
I am not sure why ebay is using speedpak. It is anything but speedy. My package has traveled like a ping pong ( the Chinese should be familar with this sport) from location to location multiple times. Another reason to use Amazon.
