ebay refunded the buyer after she lodged a "non receipt claim". Buyer now advises me she has received the goods (some 2 months after posting). I advised ebay who refunded me for 1 item out of 3 and will not answer my further emails regarding payment for the other 2 items. They said "send invoice". I have done this but buyer will not pay and ebay will not acknoweledge my further emails! How do I get the substantial amount of money owning to me?

"Non-Store Package subscribers receive the first 40 listings free every month." Does this refresh again on the 1st of every month?

My customer brought the item, the wanted to cancel the transaction 5 days later. I sent a cancellation request to her, but she rejected it and claimed that it was a mistake. I can't reopen the case after the rejection, and I can't get my selling fee credited. What else can I do? Regards,

I originally lisetd an item with a buy it now price. Bids have been made but buyer has offered the buy it now price. He says I can simply cancel auction and accept his offer. Is this correct and if so, how do I do this?

Is there a better way to sell smaller items. I sell lots of avon lipsticks at $3.20 but paying $1.82 in fees is absurd - anyone help

The box I needed to use on account of the size was bigger than I anticipated so the postage was around $35 more. What's the protocol on asking for the additional postage?

Whats the easiest way to keep track of my sales costs manually for tax. I am hopeless with spreadsheets etc. Do I need to print out an invoice for every sale to keep for tax. Do I deduct all my stock from my total profit at end of year? Does it matter that most of my stock was bought the previous financial year? Do I get a book and write every sale down individually then deduct the postage cost, item cost etc and write the profit of that individual sale to add at the end of the month? Thanks for the quick reply earlier. I am sorry if my questions sound stupid to some, but I just want to get it right. Unfortunately I am a bit computer illiterate so I have to do it all with pen and paper.

The "attach photos" feature on the "reply to emails" page is not working for me. When I try to add a photo, the photo loads, up to the 90% mark, and then stops. All my photos are 3264 x 2448 pixels. This is not a Friday thing, but has been doing this for the last three days. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regards, John.

Buyer is a serial pest as seen by his feedback but sellers can't leave negative feedback as evidenced by the 100% positive score of the buyer. He habitually bids and does not pay but nothing has happened yet and his score still stands at 100%. I would like to leave negative feedback and ruin his perfect rating as he did mine!

My buyer wants me to change my feedback in exchange for a part refund as the silver charms I bought were not the size I expected. Im happy to do this but cant work out where I change the feedback.

I am refunding a customer at my instigation, because the jacket she purchased didnt fit, even though she knew the size, I have already paid extra postage as she wanted it quickly, she has suggested I try and sell it on a second chance offer (which I have done) no response so far, am I obligated to refund her postage costs, and how do I get a credit from paypal fees, as last year I refunded a customer whose parcel was lost in the mail but paypal still charged me selling fees.

If I get 40 items per month for free to sell does that start from the beginning of every month or from the date I posted my first item the previous month.

What is the cost of listing an item in 2 catagories

I have received an offer to buy an item at a price less than my listed Buy It Now price. Can I accept this?

A local buyer won the item I was selling. The item was sold on 6th May 2013 and today it is 23rd May 2013. I have tried to contact the buyer twice. But no reply and neither has the buyer requested for cancellation of the transaction. What should I do in this case? Can I cancel the transaction as the buyer is not contactable? Please assist. Thanks

Regarding Non Payers - When you receive a final value credit from Ebay for an item that a buyer will not pay for - Ebay advises -You've received a final value fee credit. Also, an unpaid item has been recorded on the buyer's account. I would like to know where this appears to help future sellers know of the dealings of these people. Sellers get negatives from sellers but not buyers for their actions.

I have just sold some trading cards to a buyer who lives in Tasmania, but when she went to pay, eBay told her that the buyer (me) doesn't ship to Tasmania. This is not true as I have my settings so I only ship within Australia, but I am wondering if eBay has somehow mistakenly decided that Tasmania isn't part of Australia. Anyway, I don't seem to be able to edit those settings now that the listing is ended. Is there any way I could do something in the invoice to let her pay, or can I modify my posting exceptions just for that listing? I have sent a manual invoice and suggested that if it doesn't work, she could try just sending a direct payment through PayPal with my email address, but I'm guessing she would rather do it through the official invoice in case it looks like I'm trying to stooge her.

I listed 130907865235 on the 13/5/2013 for 10 days. A bid was made on 22/5/2013 and retracted on the 23/5/2013 giving the reason that the seller had changed the description. The item was never revised from the time of listing. How can they use that as a reason, and can anything be done about it.

How do I get to see how many views my item has received I only once saw add a counter clicker whilst listing my items

ferret12012

After I have sold an item and it has been paid for eBay then says "sell similar" or "second chance offer". What does this mean ?

peggym2852

What happens if a person buys an item and then says they pressed the wrong button? This happened on a Buy It Now Item. Ebay says that we have to wait and the buyer has to agree to cancel it as yet we have received no reply from the buyer and ebay have charged us a selling fee this was for a sale over $7,000 dollars and we would like to relist the item again ASAP

How do I get around the following? I forgot to leave feedback for excellent buyer -- and now I can't! eBay says: 'We are unable to add your feedback for 1 transaction Here's why: Item 221216715262 was not found because: This item number does not exist Or you have already left feedback'.

More Knowledge. More Possibilities.
