I’m seeking feedback on a frustrating issue with eBay's seller protections. On December 10, 2024, eBay announced special measures to shield sellers from negative impacts caused by the Canada Post strike, including protection from late shipment defects, feedback, and certain claims. Despite these assurances, my experience shows these measures are inconsistently applied. For example: A neutral feedback left on an item delayed by the strike wasn’t removed, even though tracking was uploaded as required. A refund was issued to a buyer despite evidence that delays were due to the disruption. It seems eBay agents are either unaware of these announced protections or unable to enforce them, leaving sellers like me unprotected despite following the outlined guidelines.   Have others faced this? How can we ensure eBay delivers on its promises?   Looking forward to your thoughts. ... View more

Hello, I am relatively new to selling on EBay and have had nothing but positive experiences. However, having dropped my item off before the Canada Post strike and have said item stuck at a complete standstill since has left me utterly useless. Nov 30 -Buyer is upset about not receiving the item, which I 100% understand. I explained the situation to the buyer, provided the tracking information via email as per their request (even though tracking was provided and could be followed on EBay). Dec 6 - buyer opens case with EBay, they put the request on hold until Dec 21, then a couple hours later, inform me that they are refunding the buyer at my expense. I am confused as to what I did wrong in this situation. How can EBay give my item away, at my expense, when there is zero way for me to get the package back. Once the strike is over, the package is going to still be believed to the refunded buyer now for free. I am out both an item itself and money I paid for the item. I have filed an appeal today, Dec 6. ... View more

I always thought eBay was Ok until I got scammed and found out that eBay does not support you as a Seller. But rather the Buyer gets every break. They can buy stuff, get refunds based on BS, get you to pay for shipping both to and from the Buyer (for the Refund). And after all that, the Buyer can send back whatever they want from a empty box to something completely different from what you sent them. And keep your product.   And if the Seller complains at all, they get in trouble.   This means a Buyer can buy anything on eBay, get refunded and get the item for free.   Of course, this is due to eBay's competition with Amazon who offers free returns. And this is good if you sell batteries or office supplies but much of eBay's business is selling Collectors items and antiques. This business is not the same.   This has led to eBay Sellers are now opening their own Web Stores or selling on specialty sites or Facebook.   Is this what is going on? ... View more

How to give away an item "at cost" only but buyer pays shipping only and minimum handling? Ie:  I want to declutter my storage and have tons of collectible books. How do I ship a"LOT" of books  and (effectively) give them away for free. THe buyer would only pay the shipping, and any duties.   I though I'd price the "LOT" at 0.99  and set the shipping as usual  by whatever the shipping service would charge to send to the buyer. I would not charge an exorbitant handling fee but only enough to cover boxing costs.   Any advice?       ... View more

A lot of my items I ship with Canada Post Lettermail or Oversized Lettermail. With the potential strike, what do I do with my listings? Is no other cheap shipping option in Canada?   Will buyers still be able to purchase said items, or will Lettermail not be an option during the strike? Will I have to end all my listings that only have Lettermail shipping available? Am I going to have to go through ALL my listings to ADD alternate shipping options?   This is the first time I may have to go through this strike and I have nothing setup for alternate shipping on ANY of my listings. I may have to place my store on vacation mode until the strike ends. ... View more

Hello, I sold a $350+tax cashmere sweater for $44 on eBay.   I listed the item as pre-owned, and in the description I wrote good overall condition, 6.5/10 with some minor defects. I inspected the sweater closely and saw no holes, tears, stains. There was some piling.   Before listing, I asked for a second opinion in-person, and they said the sweater looked fine overall and agreed with my item description.   I listed the item with the option "Returns accepted in 14 days. Buyer pays return shipping". I had a buyer who purchased it. Before shipping the sweater, I reached out to the buyer and asked if they had any questions or concerns about the sweater before I shipped out. They said no.   The buyer received the sweater, messaged me saying the sweater is ragged and garbage and has piling everywhere. Although I did not necessarily agree, I just told him he can return the sweater and I'll refund him the money. He refused to ship back the item because it is expensive and told me if I do not pay return shipping he will just throw it in the garbage. He opened a case with eBay saying that "The item arrived damaged". I would like any thoughts or opinions how to fairly deal with this and if I did anything wrong. ... View more

Been on Ebay with a few accounts for about 25 years and things get worse every year. I just got ripped off for almost $1500 this time and lost my item and as usual Ebay sides with a dishonest buyer and offers no protection for sellers. Absolutely no help at all and they couldn't care less. This ridiculous 30 day return policy is being taken advantage off. So from what I can see you can keep an item for 30 days and get your money back no matter they do to it. I went above and beyond to help the buyer repair the item and offered money settlement even though they admitted to breaking it trying avoid me paying almost 300 in return shipping for an oversized item. The buyer was the most unreasonable person I've ever dealt with and they knew I wouldn't want to pay for a broken product back that could be easily fixed for $20. With Ebay's insane deadlines dealing with it when I was away for Thanksgiving and the person in Texas time ran out they gave him his money back including shipping and put our account in major overdraft beyond the banks limits which seems insane that they can do that. More to the story but I can't believe they just let people get away with this type of fraud and they couldn't care about all the evidence I had that he was dishonest. They send BS messages that you cant reply to and won't answer questions or offer me the apparent seller return shipping help. I'm just disgusted with the way they handle these issues and have heard similar horror stories from other sellers that have left the site. ... View more

Hello;  I'm a seller and since the listing tool was updated in mid October 2024, the colors of all my pictures are off. They now seems greyish. I know colors depend on what screen you are looking at them but... everything looks grey.     Before october 2024, my pictures were true to the colors I'm offering. This calls for trouble !   What should I change to get the greish out. Format, size ? Are they now compressed ? Help   Thanks Nancy ... View more

Once again today I had to go searching for the HS code for the item being shipped.  Sometimes it is so wsy to google hs code and the name of the item and it pops up readily.  However there are times when you just can't find it.   This so frustrating and a waist of time.  Ebay should have some kind of drop down menu or list ready for sellers to access.  As it now much time is wasted and slows down the shipping process. Does anyone else have this problem. ... View more

I just sold my first item on my new eBay store.  They buyer wanted to pick it up which I agreed to after he paid for it.  In order for him to not pay shipping (since he was picking it up) I flipped the listing over to Free shipping instead of allow local pick up.  I realized my mistake to late as my buyer was too quick LOL.  Is there a way I can correct this or did I just stick myself with shipping costs?   I've now learned the lesson and fliped my listings over to allow local pickup.   Sugestions appriciated.  Thx.   ...

If you select UPS as your shipment method, and the package gets lost or damaged, there is no insurance, even though eBays says there is. You can start a claim, but UPS records show eBay as the shipper, and you can't get any insurance proceeds. UPS won't even talk to you about the claim , as you are not the shipper, and they advise to call eBay. And eBay, of course, claims they have nothing to do with it and tell you to call back to UPS. ... View more
