TO: Sarah ***, Was it your decision to restrict sellers payments from 2-3 days to "until the item is delivered"? Let me tell you how this really hurts the sellers. If sellers must wait for delivery of items across Australia - sometimes up to 6 days - and weeks when the sale us international the seller is without funds for reinvestment to buy new stock. This payment to the seller delay restricts the sellers ability to keep stock listed. This restricts the sellers ability to sell hence it hurts eBay because the seller is unable to offer new listings. Less sales for the sellers and less sales for eBay. Over the years I have seen policy decisions by eBay leadership make it more difficult for sellers to operate within the rules. This change in the payment system definitely hurts sellers and it strikes at eBays bottom line. So when eBay and PayPal parted ways this hurt the sellers going from instant payment to 2-3 days. Now, as an example I just experienced I will not get paid until my international sale is delivered - up to 3 weeks! And what I would like to know how does eBay know when international items are delivered because many international postal systems are not tied in with eBay and many do not bother to scan in when items are delivered. So this further delays in my payment I am forced to contact the buyer and then prove to eBay the customer has received the item. eBay over the years has devalued the most important partner - the seller in favour of excessively protecting the buyer from scams. eBay is quick to side with the buyer regardless of the facts. If you have no sellers you have no business. We sellers keep this company in business. What comes first in the scheme? Without someone investing in the stock you have no buyers. The seller is taking all the risks. Compensate the seller without delay and keep them happy. Stop with progressively penalising the sell. You need them and you need to keep them happy.

I'm really fed up trying to access my own money! I asked for a funds transfer, but there's no option to get my measly $57.16. eBay is really getting on my nerves now! Stop changing my words also, ebay AI!!!

Hello everyone, I have a product I am trying to sell. It is a popular product with a brand name, not generic. In Australia there are 1100+ listings for this search, with listings having over 1000 sales and existing on the site for what looks like years. I have the invoice I used to purchase the item, and the brand has many products in their range. eBay removed it instantly for being counterfeit. No email, no message, no backing to their claim. I contacted eBay chat and have had different responses: One said I can submit the invoice and it will be OK to relist. Did this, it was removed again Another said just relist it, but I havent tried yet. I dont want account restrictions Third couldnt tell me, just kept saying it must be counterfeit. Phone help just beat around the bush saying I have to remember that this is for the protection of the eBay community, and other similar bs. This item isnt counterfeit. How can I get it through eBays thick as bricks skull? 23 years of selling, and I am just about over it.

Well here we are. Have been an Ebay member for almost 20 years now having sold close to 800000 items. We have been arguing the fact that hundreds of our items, mainly sequins are not single use plastic items. Meanwhile each day for weeks now items have been removed by AI systems and we have had to plead our case on each item. So as of yesterday because of so called violations (selling sequins which are not banned items) we have been suspended so we told staff to not come in. Absolute disgrace after dealing with this company for this long.

Hello All. Anyone else having issues with this? Variations in listings cant be revised. I can edit the listing, make all the changes I want to variations, but when I save them and list the revised item I get an error message saying "Oops, this is embarrassing! The listing tool isnt available right now" Sometimes when I save the changes the changes get scrambled. I have the red messages saying certain things need to be filled in, and when I go back into the variations prices have been shuffled around, fields are deleted. I have spoken to the absolutely useless live chat team 3 times now and each time they say I will hear back within 72 hours, and then I dont hear back. A person from eBays phone help replicated the issue from her end and lodged a case, but again havent heard back Extremely frustrating. I have taken 3 weeks off work to revise and optimise all my listings as I dont get time otherwise, and havent managed to save the changes on a single listing.

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own." The people saw it was good. So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land. And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

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.

Seems to be a lack of threads for blokes. On other threads,some ladies have mentioned, their OHs would post, but had no interest in most of the threads on offer. I can bump this thead twice a day,so its easy to find. Give it a go---Richo.

Any one else had a listing for tupperware been declared ' single use' plastic and not allowed
