So I just put in a figure for my bid, pretty confident I had room, clicked "Place Bid" and instead of confirming the bid I got a box that wiped out whatever figure I had put in and asked me to put a figure in all over again. By the time I figured out...

Just noticed, for the first time, a column in a sold item awaiting payment that says "Record number". I click on it and it says "sales record number" and displays a three-digit number. What on earth is this? Can't find any topic mentioning it and hav...

Don't think I've ever seen this before -- I went to bid on an item with no bids, watched it up right up to its end time, zero bids. Just to be sure I bid over the minimum. Soon as I put the bid in I was "outbid" and according to the bid history the o...

I submitted a 'best offer' for an item that was listed with "free shipping". But then after the offer was submitted eBay tells me "shipping is not included in Best Offer". This seems to mean the seller could accept my offer and then charge shipping, ...

Thanks for both (all) your thoughts, eBay won't let me mark them 'helpful' but the last. Weird site getting weirder.The total number of sales theory sounds reasonable, I didn't know such records even existed. Strange that eBay itself doesn't seem to ...

It's entirely accurate, because no one goes out looking "to buy a Reciva radio". "Reciva" is not a radio brand name; it's an arcane tool that radios USE. Until this was brought to my attention today I couldn't have told you what "Reciva" even was, bu...

Actually it would. eBay would (will) be complicit in ripping people off by selling a product known to be nearing obsolescence. I suspect a lot (but not all) of these sellers aren't even aware of the Reciva withdrawal. I only heard about it today and ...

Has eBay changed the onscreen bid process?

"Sales record number"?

Are there "invisible bids"?

Retracting a Best Offer?

eBay "feedback" link (i.e. feedbacck ABOUT eBay) goes nowhere!
