    From 1 June some features will be exclusive to Pro Plans

    From 1 June some features will be exclusive to Pro Plans

    We recently launched free selling on eBay.com.au, making it easier for more Australia-based sellers to sell the things they no longer need. On 12 May, we told you what selling tier you would be in, based on your recent sales activity.   Free selling is designed for casual sellers with simple selling needs. From 1 June, some advanced selling features will become exclusive to those with an eBay Pro subscription.    Sellers in Pro Starter with less than $25,000 in total sales in the last 12 months have until 31 May to cancel their Pro Starter subscription if they want to move to free selling with immediate effect. After 1 June, these sellers can still cancel their subscriptions anytime but the cancellation will take effect on the 1st day of the following month (for example, 1 July).     Learn more about what this means for you →

    A new chapter for selling on eBay Australia

    A new chapter for selling on eBay Australia

    A new chapter for selling on eBay Australia A note from Sarah Sternau, Managing Director of eBay Australia    Today is a significant moment for eBay in Australia, designed to better support everyone who uses the platform to buy, sell, or grow a business. We’re introducing free selling for casual sellers, enhanced buyer protections, and updates to our selling subscriptions.    This isn’t just a change, it’s an investment in the future of our marketplace in Australia. One that opens the door for more Aussies to sell and supports businesses of all sizes to grow, creating stronger and more vibrant eBay.   Thank you to our incredible community for embracing this change with us. We know it takes time to adjust, so please keep sharing your feedback with us so we can continue to support you. I’m excited for the opportunities this unlocks in our community.   Read more

      Drop ship sellers are misleading buyers...

      Items are being sold as being in Australia at point of sale , items are then advised as sent when the tracking shows no movement past 10 business days. I've had one late deliver (10 days+) from Amazon USA whilst being told that it was sent through Australia Post by a seller who stated the item was already sent in Australia when sent. Two other have come late from Dock A3, 11 lord St Street Botany NSW 2019. Both were from different sellers. False and Misleading advertising and selling is a violation in Australia so it might be time for eBay to look into and correct this before the ACCC and/or Dept of fair trading get's involved.

      New EU 3 Euro flat fee on items

      From July 1, all sold items valued under 150 euro sent to the EU will incur a 3 euro customs duty each. I have checked eBay announcements on whether eBay are facilitating this collection from buyers at the payment point as the importer, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know anything more about this, or if eBay requires sellers to handle their own duties similar to the US import tariffs via Zonos?

      Buy It Now Pricing not working

      I am trying to list but the error message keeps coming up that I need to put in a buy it now more than $1. I am definitely putting in a price. Have logged out and back in and issue is still happening. I have tried a few listings and all the same.

      Cryptic Stuff

      While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks.  🙂   The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water. (12 letters)

      4-Day Music Challenge Theme: On the subject of collisions and bumps

      4-Day Music Challenge Theme: On the subject of collisions and bumps (people, shopping trolleys, vehicles, etc.)   I was so tempted to make the theme census-related, but no – there aren’t very many songs along those lines! The poster of the song which has the most ‘thumbs-up’s 👍🏻 at the end of the challenge wins the round. The OP will edit the heading at the end of the challenge, to announce the winner in the heading .   Due to the reduced functionality and clunkiness of the new look boards, please don’t post any songs if you are the OP of the theme. Please comment rather than reply , to avoid nested replies and to keep entries in chronological order. The winner then chooses the next theme, hosts it and declares the winner at the end of the challenge.   In the event of a tie, the OP will declare the winner.   The challenge ends Friday, 14 August 2026.   NOTE: Please post the artist and song title (or composer and title) and include the YouTube link without actually embedding the video.

      Cannot revise a listing.

      I am scheduling items to list on 1st September. I have just discovered that, although I change the Buy it Now amount for each entry, when I view the scheduled listing it shows the listing price for the previous listing. eBay does not allow me to correct the price. This has never happened before and is potentially disastrous and prices vary, sometimes dramatically, between listings. Is this a temporary eBay glitch? I am unable to revise the price.

      The Wordle thread. (All welcome. It's time to Wordle.)

      Regrettably, the wonderful original Wordle thread started by k1ooo has vanished during the lamentable changeover to the current Community Discussion Boards iteration. In lieu of that thread, this new one has risen from the ashes. You can play Wordle on your computer, smart phone, iPad/tablet, etc. Wordle is found here: https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html (New Wordle puzzle every day) RELATED World-type spin-offs: 8-panel version - solve 8 words in the one puzzle. Octordle : https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/octordle/ (The daily Classic, daily Extreme, daily Chill, daily Sequence, daily Rescue) 4-panel version - solve 4 words in the one puzzle. Quordle : https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/quordle/#/ (This has changed to have the daily Classic, daily Extreme, daily Chill, daily Sequence and daily Rescue, just like Octordle.) 2-panel version - solve 2 words in the one puzzle. Dordle : https://zaratustra.itch.io/dordle (The daily Dordle) Issue Unfortunately it appears that we no longer have the ability to include spoilers. (Yet another step backwards with the new boards.) >! hide this text !< (No, not working...) That makes it almost impossible to Wordle without inadvertently seeing the solution. I suggest that anyone contributing to this thread perform their Wordling etc before posting here, having saved their working out/solving already so that it's simply a matter of posting the solution and steps. Happy Wordling!

      Ebay not letting me list with a price

      Listing and selling price not accepted!! I'm trying to list items for next week - as I always do and ebaya keeps rejecting them and blanking out the price I add . No help with auto assistant. Is this happening to anyone else?

      eBay's lack of customer service

      I'm newish to eBay (been at it a few months), I had a few issues/questions I raised with eBay live chat, they were extremely unhelpful, it seemed like there was a MASSIVE language barrier, they replied in scripts that weren't applicable to my questions, I've asked questions 5 times like "how do I complain about your unprofessional conduct" to which I get a generic script like "I understand your frustration, what were you needing help with today", showing they aren't listening to what I'm saying. I've spent 1 1/2+ hours, got transferred 6+ times, no one trying to assist. It's almost as bad as Meta/FB Marketplace staff.
