There was a post just before the holidays as if to list or not to list. My results: I had sales right up to Sunday December 26 of my regular listings - they repeat all the time. From Monday to today, sold one listing. Not a big deal as the beginning ...
I have had 2 Buyers wanting to return instruments they purchased as gifts over Christma because they were not exactly what they person receiving the gift wanted. My UNWRITTEN policy is to refuse the return and my reasons are many. First, I consider a...
Hi, everyone, new kids on the block. 3 questions: 1) How can we see the US powersellers discussion board? 2) Anyone of you also have your own website selling products and merchant account? How is it compared to ebay? The ebay fees and paypal fees are...
The Canadian dollar has risen about 3 cents this week. This is too much to handle. How do you price something not knowing the exchange rate 6 months from now. Angelo

Hello. I have finally signed up for the online shipping tools. I'm using the online form for the first time... and I *thought* I'd receive a 2% discount. I got to the last screen and the price is the same as when I normally ship. I take it the automa...

I'm informed by a reliable, mutual friend that my buyer died suddenly and unexpectedly. I don't see any way to let eBay know that - it's not one of the list of reasons for filing a UID. He's obviously not going to reply to eBay's email if I file a mu...
I am trying to find out as much information as I can about reporting infractions to ebay. Someone has decided I'm "it" and I find myself defending myself against report after report. I am waiting to hear from Safe Harbour. Apparently you can't phone ...
Hi - just a quick question. from reading the discussions many of you ship your parcels from the USA. Considering the ever increasing postal rates here I'm wondering if it is worth my while to drive to Buffalo once a week and ship from there. for cros...
I'm sure you are all as shocked as I by recent events in Asia. As of the 6 o'clock news today, Canadians have donated $3million to the Red Cross to help victims of Sundays tsunami. The Red Cross is now encouraging community groups to raise $$ for the...
Why can I no longer repeat a fixed price listing (or any other) by choosing relist when I view the item. All I get now is a blue bar telling me my item has sold, the price, and the buyer's Postal Code. It seems the choice to "sell similar" or "relist...
Oh such a sad day when I opened that envelope and saw a money order!! Instead of a smile-a frown! The auction ended Nov 25 & 28 (two items) and no money order arrived. On Dec 17th finally an email saying she would send money that day. Christmas came ...
Hello all, Could someone please tell me PayPal's toll free talk to a human number? Yesterday (Jan. 3) my partner attempted to take money out of our PayPal account using a bank machine in New Brunswick Canada. It limited her to $300.00. Today I tried ...
I mentioned this guy in an earlier thread. Because a competitive bidder had withdrawn a higher bid prior to the auction’s conclusion he thought that I should withdraw a lower bid after the auction’s end. I’ve just now realized that he’s a genuine cli...
I have recently read up on the requirements for becoming a powerseller, right now as a gold powerseller we aim to be platinum next. The problem I am seeing is that I don't understand the benefits of moving up a tier. The small chart on the powerselle...
HI, I have been asked by an ebayer to post a request here. He is looking for someone to take his parcels (books) across the border and ship them from Ogdensburg. He was a powerseller, but has not been very busy the last few months and has not done en...
My current bank charge me a total of $12.34 for 2 deposits (made the same time) and 1 cheque, all done at the same time! The fees are waived if you have a $5000 balance with them! Sure would like to find an alternate source.
Any comments, ideas, or suggustions for gidt for the season for mailman and ups driver? Angelo
My, the time's gone by! Hard to believe I've been on eBay for 8 years as of today. Despite the odd glitch, it's been a terrific experience. Back then, as a stamp dealer, I could do a title and description search on "cover", and review them all in abo...
Hi People, Looking for a good accounting program and heard that "Simply Accounting" was one of the best. 95% ++ of my sales are to the U.S. So which version am I looking for? Am I still looking at the "Canadian" version? If so, what kind of prices sh...
Anybody going to ebay Live in San Jose this year. DH and I are considering it. Great write-off vacation in California! Just wondering about other Canadian PSer's. Monique
If I hear one more friggin angry customer yelling at me because their purchase hasn't arrived yet I'm going to lose it. I've gotten at least 10 negatives this Christmas because my email screwed up and sent 40% of all payment notification emails from ...
I recently had 2 cases that I had filed with PayPal, under the 'Buyers Protection Program'. In both cases I was the buyer and the seller was found at fault. Also, in both cases I was notified by PayPal that they were unable to recover any of my losse...
In a different thread, I posted how I anticipated getting a neg from a Buyer and I did in fact get the neg. In turn, I left him a neg. I then emailed the buyer and said that eBay had a mechanism for mutual withdrawl if he was interested in participat...
Ebay removed 14 of my listings, they thought someone else did the listings (identity theft or whatever). This happend on the 10c listing day at 9.00 pm. I was lucky to see that before the 10c day was over and listed the items again, after I waited fo...
got the following when I signed on to paypal: Save money on your next bank withdrawal. Now, when you withdraw $150.00 CAD CAD or more, you won’t have to pay a withdrawal fee! Withdrawals of less than $150.00 CAD will continue to incur a nominal fee o...
When I try to create a email all I get is a "page not Responding".Is it a ebay glitch or me?
