I have updated my chart because there have been so many changes since Jan. Perhaps jasmen@ebay could remove the Jan chart which is pinned and put this one in its place.
I use the eBay Listing Templates Which I have already set up in advance. its a great time saver most of the time! All I have to do is change a photo and the price etc! But I am very very forgetful nowadays, and I just keep typing things in the templa...

As I am no longer a business seller due to ill health and aging problems 'Memory etc' , all my listings go into the 'collectables' category.. I have compared the 'Collectables' listing sales with the 'All Categories' Listings sales and it is obvious ...

Has anyone has luck getting invoices over 18 months old? I find it's odd when everyone has to be able to produce 7 years of history in Canada eBay can only give me 18 months. I've called in several times and I keep getting told I'll have them in 24 h...
I had 14 listings 'fail' to auto-relist last night when they ended. I immediately suspected this had something to do with the new nonsense fields ebay has added under Item Specifics but it's more insidious than that. (See https://community.ebay.ca/t5...
Is it possible to add items to an existing markdown/sale? I can't seem to find that option or maybe there isn't one. Thanks!!
Is anyone else having trouble saving drafts when using a MacBook (latest OS)? Since yesterday (Oct. 29), when I click "save draft", the reticulating circle pops up on the screen but never completes the save...just stays that way for infinity. I've tr...
New 500 free listings offer aappeared in my Promotional offers list this morning. List either auction or bin until Nov. 6th.https://pages.ebay.ca/promo/2016/list500.html
Some of my US buyers have no idea how much the CAD $ is worth.My items are listed in CAD$ on the .ca site. Even though prices appear in US$ on the .com site, when US buyers go to make an offer, it asks for CAD $. I've had to explain to them (when the...
I just may start looking for other online 'stores' as many ebay sellers are getting ridiculous with sending annoying emails wanting feedback. Isn't this a voluntary program? Why all this 'neediness' for self aggrandizement. If a seller doesn't give m...
I noticed today that the view(s) counter isn't updating. I noticed when using different browsers and going from eBay.CA to eBay.COM that the view counter isn't updating the views. Check item # 274047466476 it seems to be stuck at 333. Anybody else no...
Please advise if you have any info on this. Thank you!!Seller for over 12 years, but this is a new issue for meI'm in Ontario and use Canada post. Having buyers from the US ask to return items lately, and want me as the seller to pay the return shipp...
So, I don't sell many packages within Canada, postage is too high, just a few letter mail. So, I didn't expect to use any free Tuesday CP shipping.True to form, 4 Tuesday's go by with nothing. Then today I get THREE Canadian packages, so I get to use...
A new record for number and amount of "no payments" in a month. 1 buyer from Australia 16 (auction) items about $500 US (they have a number of positive feedbacks saying they didn't pay hopefully my 16 puts them over the ledge)1 buyer from USA, 1 (auc...
I read that you get free promotion credits? Is this true? Anything else?I find it difficult to know how I achieved top rated status, what the benefits are, and it seems easy to lose it with one or two bad transactions....Does anyone even really care?
Just to let all know to be sure to check the currency conversion from US to Canadian $$ on your . com listing when you send an offer to a watcher. On .com I lowered the price of an item from $50 US to $45 US, but the Canadian $$ was shown as $34.44 a...
In the "good old days" eBay.ca has always recommended listing in US$ instead of Cdn$ on the basis that Canadian sellers would have more chance of success listing in US$. Times are changing. Today, during the Weekly Board Hour, eBay.ca advises: "In a ...
A note that I'm a stamps on the box kinda guy, so I have all the rate tables printed off to figure out my postage costs. Today sent something to Mauritius. The small packet code for them is "10" (code 10 also includes the likes of North Korea, Syria,...
Had a dream last night that instead of the shipping supplies coupon we currently receive it would be replaced by a coupon for "gummies" but in very limited flavours. I guess if that is not to your personal preference, Just say no to "gummies" !! -Lot...
Hi, eBay is giving me the option to "Get it sold by sending an offer to buyers interested in your item" for an item that is been watch by a few people. But when I send the offer, I have the error message "ITEM IS INVALID" I checked that the item is s...
I often adjust my prices in my listings, update a descriptions or add a photo to stay competitive, or to get rid of old stock. Ebay never charges for this. Today for the first time, I tried to revise a listing and it keeps trying to charge me a .34 c...
So a buyer messaged me wondering if an item was still available etc. and the messaged seemed a bit suspicious. I said yes and they replied that they will buy with their other account. I then get an email saying the item sold. I looked at the account ...
Okay, so about twice a year eBay feels compelled to make "improvements" to its various processes and rules. Recent changes to item descriptions and categories are forcing me to spend hours relisting each item individually, rather using the bulk relis...
Just had a sale and payment for a craft book, then a message asking me to mail to S. Korea, not the US address given. Only 1 feedback. I explained that I have to mail to the address given on Paypal, now I am not sure about it. I have Korea on my bloc...
Tomorrow I will be shutting down the eBay store I've run for nearly 12 years. It's a sad day for me, but certainly not an unexpected one. I saw this coming quite some time ago, it's just that the last few months have made a final decision unavoidable...
Stumbled across this by accident on dot com. November is not looking like a good month. Read at your discretion. Reading may lead to drinking something much stronger than coffee!! Cancelled transactions/returns/"NAD"/Changed mind all just got more ex...
got 4 sales today, 2 of them by different buyer with very low feedback counts, and looks like they haven't purchase much until purchasing my listings.address with different names then account person name, the addressee names are very chinese looking ...
Does anyone know if CPO Free Pickups are for pickups ordered on Tuesdays this month for the next day, or if they're for packages picked up on Tuesdays only.A third possibility is that free pickups are applied to all packages this month and not limite...
I am often fascinated that buyers sometimes take the time to private message me to express disdain for inflated prices on rare/htf items, or chastise me for selling items that I received as a gift with purchase. Why do they do this? If they really wa...
