I made a major typo in a listing. I tried to edit the listing, but it already had a bid so I cancelled and relisted it, resulting in a FVF of $104. I immediately contacted ebay and they said they’d refund the fee as it was my first offense in over 20...

I use the GSP on all my listings. Tonight, somebody in China purchased my item, and messaged me requesting an invoice. I thought he was trying to get out of paying the GSP an extra shipping fee, but come to find out, my item was not eligible for inte...

Hi all,I recently listed a high-end antique on ebay, but I wasn't confident in my pricing as I am not an expert in that particular category. I wanted to make sure the price was not too high or low, and make sure ebay is even the right place to be sel...

I had a user in China contact me regarding one of my items (a Japanese cloissone vase), asking why I don't ship to China. I haven't excluded any countries, but the GSP appears to have excluded China as it is not appearing in the list of countries thi...

Oh no no, I wasn't looking for a free appraisal. I wanted to make sure I wasn't asking too much for it, and if I was asking way too little I wanted to know so I could remove it from eBay and sell it in a more suitable forum. I actually have done hour...

Yeah, if I knew the value of my item I could do that.

Yes that is a good point, and, again something that did not occur to me before I listed it. I figured I would list it and see if it generated any interest, while researching it in the meantime. Big mistake. I've since removed the listing; I'm going t...

Yeah, payed appraisals are what I'm used to seeing. When it's an item where I have no idea of the value, I opt not to get it appraised because I'm afraid I'll pay all that money to find out the value isn't much more than the appraisal fee. In this ca...

Thank you so much, that makes a lot of sense. The reason I requested information from these particular dealers was because they advertised "free valuations" on their websites, and it sounds like they can reach collectors that ebay doesn't reach. I wa...
