I have sold over 1300 items on ebay and today was the first time I received a message, when a buyer paid for an item, that the funds would be on HOLD until after the item has been delivered.    I contacted ebay and this was the response I got - "Yes, you have not come across it before however the hold program is always their and after reviewing your account there are less number of tracking used and therefore the funds has been placed on hold till the tracking is scanned or 3 days after the estimated delivery date."   I did accidently post the item as an Australia Post Standard Parcel that has tracking but I did contact the buyer, who has previously bought from me, and explained that it would be untracked as I only charged $3.50. The buyer agreed.   The response I received from ebay seems to imply that I won't be getting funds until 3 days after the delivery date from now on, if untracked, or when delivery has been confirmed when tracked.   Tracking is not feasible for single low costs items, the cost would be more, or nearly as much, as the item.   I have had 1 buyer contact me about an item not being delivered and I refunded them straight away.   Has anyone come across this before? ...

Hello, I listed my item as having $30 AUD postage and I assumed this would remain the same regardless of where I shipped to. My item has now sold to a buyer located in the UK but the "payment info" section on the listing states the item's price correctly, but postage as free, which is not what I advertised. The total amount I'm owed seems to be the item only. I've sent a message to the buyer saying I could invoice them the correct amount but that if they bought it because they believed it had free postage, I am happy to cancel their order before they pay. Not sure what to do to prevent this or how to revise my listing if I cancel the order? Thanks. ... View more

New to eBay.   Trying to offer a flat postage across the store.   Set a rule to subtract postage cost if more than 1 item is purchased.   But the rule is not being applied.   eBay  customer rep suggest the buyer will use request invoice function but this function is counter intuitive and not available on apps    I see other stores reduce postage costs for additional items so I am pretty sure there is a way to do this.   Anyone? ...

What a nightmare experience. Purchased post label via eBay sale. It was "buyer preferred". Failed to collect the parcel 3 days in a row (AND even though a special pick was arranged after failing 2 days in a row). Then closed on Fri for weekend and public holiday (MOn 2nd Jan). So I just bought an Aust Post label. Never using Sendle again. ... View more

Can someone please tell me if a buyer purchases a beanie and decides to return them by washing them and sending it back wet? eBay still gives them a refund. Is there a lesson to be learnt by doing this I sure am missing the lesson as all I can see is that I have lost the cost of materials. I was happy to refund the customer but not happy with the way they were sent back to me. Thank you for your time Sharon ... View more

We are trying to invoice the buyer of our basketball card.  We have put in the correct postage and we get a blue highlight saying to verify postage amount to the buyers address in USA.  Then we get a red highlight saying problems with the buyers account.  We click on contact buyer but then we get problems with the buyers account again.  I am presuming that the buyer hasn't set up his end properly or could it be a scam. Thanks ... View more

I have sold things on ebay and have had the postage listed. It states the postage is payed by person buying item. But the only money that goes into my account appears to be the item amount that the item has sold for and not the postage. I have been paying large amouns of postage and it appears not being reimbursed for them. ... View more

I uploaded an item to sell and in three days I received three scams, after each other. I cancelled the first and relisted and cancel the second and relisted again and today the third one needed to be cancelled. I added to the item that ONLY AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA, yet the scammers want me to send a PayPal  invoice and send the item to the US. Every time to scammer "buys" my item it becomes invisible  on ebay search. How long do I want to do this? The same scam is on Facebook marketplace where I went into lengthy investigation a while ago. Ebay: what can you do with this? ... View more

Just a heads up to new sellers ( and old)   There is a big increase in buyer scams right now. eBay is being swamped (as well as FB and Gummy)   Called a mom&dad scam, they are easy to spot as they always mention a random family member, to try to win your trust. They also put on pressure to secure the sale quickly.   EG " I need to pay today so I can get it in time for my aunty's birthday. Do you have PayPal? Can you email me asap ?"   Just to let the community know how bad it is, 3/4 "buyers" have messaged me after making offers, and tried to pull this scam, across the board on all forums. Nowhere is safe from this buyer scam atm   ALWAYS check the profile of your buyers if they do this. On eBay they are usually unregistered users who joined up that day,    On FB, they are actually hacking real people's accounts, which makes it harder to spot. However there are still some tell tale signs like their profile says they are abroad, suspicious activity on their page...   And in one recent case I recently encountered, I checked the profile and immediately flagged why a Polish man of aprox 60 could possibly have a grandmother in Australia alive and well, waiting for her purchase on his behalf ( via PayPal of course) At her age I can see why he's in a hurry!?! Lmao.   Just be careful of buyers and PayPal requests, especially if they hint at a sob story or apply pressure payment for details.   On a side note this scam is an offshoot of a mom and dad txt scam that robbed people of mega millions world wide. For more information on these style of scams please research on Google,.or even discuss on community boards such as this.    And remember. A scammer is only as smart as his victim. Get scam ready, stay on top of current scam information before selling or buying online.   Peace! ✌️     ... View more

After 11 years of selling on eBaby I discovered that I no longer had the option of relisting my items 8 times. Three calls to eBay Support have not brought that option back (despite eBay's assurances that the option would be restored). I am now resigned to having to relist my items until sold. Is it possible to have that option set as a default so that I don't have to bulk edit my listings after I've listed them? ... View more
