Canada Post 2022 Rate Chart as of June 6th

This message is for sellers reading Seller Central. Why do buyers buy on eBay? When listing an item for sale, every seller should ask that question: Is there at least one buyer viewing listings on eBay who may be interested in my listing?" We know so...

Ebay seller store

What is the main differences in having an Ebay store rather than just listing things to sell? When does it make sense to have a store or just plain listings? What are the benefits etc.?

Resolved! I tried revising an item due to error in listing and had problems - what did I do wrong?

So I make (my wife makes) bracelets. She uses top-grade materials, and the bracelets end up looking just like "Pandora"-brand bracelets. We don't mean to deceive anyone at all, but I myself came up with the listings title: "Pandora-killer Charm Brace...

Do You Charge Return Shipping on Damaged Items?

I've never sold an item that was received broken or damaged in any way, but if I did, I would not expect the buyer to pay the return shipping. This is where eBay, as much as it wants to operate as any other large retail corporation, fails to measure ...

Another International problem seller

Help. Fat fingers and Turbo Lister costed me $65 in fees! :(

Changed 39 listings in my Turbo Lister to have "3" as sub-title when I was trying to change PRICE to 3.00. As a result, I incurred $64.35 in fees when I synch my changes! How could i get ebay to credit these fees? It took me about 48 hours to realize...

Weird exchange with buyer. Am I violating a policy?

I recently sold and shipped a bracelet to a buyer. She received it and left positive feedback. She offered me a certain price for another bracelet I am selling which is similar but a different color. I declined- politely. The second bracelet did not ...

Resolved! Buyer bought item again after I filed non payment report

Suggestion to EBAY's shipping policy.

As most Canadian sellers know Canada Post shipping is exuberantly expensive. It's actually the MOST expensive postal service in the G20. The shipping cost for sending a 4 x 8 x 1/2 inch bubble pack under 100 grams with tracking is a as follows. In Ca...

Flaker

I had a buyer end my item's auction by choosing "Buy it Now" with several people close to my reserve price and then flake on the purchase. Is there no way to leave this person negative feedback? They potentially ruined my sale and then caused over a ...

Resolved! Free Listings

How often does eBay offer free listings? I won't list anything again until they do because if I don't sell my stuff with a free listing why would I pay to list when it doesn't sell? Then I will be out money. Also, why does eBay charge for listings wh...

If you are evaluated over a 12 month period (less than 400 sales each quarter) your dashboard now shows you the number of defects that you have received since August 20, 2013. I'm not sure if those evaluated quarterly will see any numbers yet.

Read the Fine Print!

I just went through the 2014 Spring Seller Update line by line, and would encourage all sellers who are serious about their status on EBay to do the same. EBay is tightening up their expectations of sellers, and there are some critical points in the ...

For those of you providing board advice.

To start off this is a seller's forum. Not only should it be used as help, an exchange of ideas and a venue to offer your opinion related to selling, but also as a voice of objection and improvement of the selling environment on Ebay. By now I'm sure...

Resolved! Here is another intereting question on limiting buyers.

Has anyone experimented with not shipping to buyers with less than a specific amount of feedback (for the purpose of argument let's use 10) ? These limits can't be set so the only way it could be done is through the case refund system. Is it "Ebay Le...
