Buyer chooses USPS; eBay suggests using USPS through eBay's discount
plan- brilliant! Once again, I fall for it; only $4.36 after the eBay
discount. So easy, so quick ... but wait, there's more. AFTER purchase,
we go to Print Label, and the packing s...
On the "Ship your order" page, seller is asked "Is your package size
correct?", then is advised "Please make sure you enter the correct
package size and dimensions to avoid additional charges from your chosen
carrier (i.e., enter 14 when it weighs 13...
When I want to choose a USPS Flat Rate Box of a specific size (for
example- Small), as a shipping option, eBay comes back with "Shipping
cost cannot be calculated. Please enter a valid ZIP Code." Why can't
eBay calculate the shipping cost on a Flat R...
eBay recommends a low starting price to attract interest. So I list an
old book for 99 cents, and that's what it ends up selling for. Not much,
but I am glad it's going to someone who wants it instead of to the
landfill. OK, but then eBay calculates ...
I searched for and then purchased a particular out-of-print book from an
eBay listing. Now, ads for the same item pop up on unrelated searches on
my browser. I have no privacy concerns about the book title per se. Is
eBay inhaling every keystroke and...
Here is the problem: eBay accepted Buyer's choice of First Class Large
Envelope, and printed a Receipt with the correct charge, BUTonly offered
USPS Ground Advantage to Seller. If eBay chooses not to show labels that
don't have tracking, that's OK/wh...
The dimensions and weight I entered in the listing qualified by the book
for a USPS 1st class large envelope. There was no warning from eBay that
it does not qualify- indeed, eBay was fine with it when Buyer selected
it. Now comes the Seller, to whom...
Yes, it makes sense the Buyer would be charged Standard Shipping (USPS
First Class Large Envelope) as per the listing. You are correct- I did
not choose that method. Why? Because it was not offered by eBay, even
though eBay already knew what the Buye...
It's revealing that eBay fails to redress reports of otherwise minor
issues like correct usage of i.e. versus e.g. If your process can't fix
small things, you end up with facile suggestions like "enter the correct
package size and dimensions to avoid...
That's a reasonable approach, especially for small packages. Would you
round up to be safe if that added $15 to the shipping charge? USPS
surcharges large packages that exceed a threshold.
