eBay's International Standard Delivery shipments are getting overcharged.

To preface, at the point of creating labels I ensure to document the exact weight and dimensions of the article to be shipped via eBay International Standard Delivery. This information is documented into my accounting software and reviewed every 4 mo...

Missing tracking and payments on hold

First of all, it's absolutely ridiculous that ebay holds payments on my account that has been active for +11 years, with more than 400 transactions. I'm not very active selling, but very active buying. Recently started selling again, but still, I'm n...
