Hi everyone, I have sent a parcel to a buyer which was delivered to her PO box back on 5th April. It is still uncollected. Aust Post have emailed both the buyer and myself to say if it is not collected in 5 business days it will be returned to sender. I have 2 questions regarding this. 1. If I have to re-post am I within my rights to charge the buyer additional postage. I have emailed her several times advising the item is awaiting collection at her post office box. 2. If she then changes her mind and doesn't want the item and lodges a dispute for not received, do I have a leg to stand on. I can prove item was posted etc. Thanks

My first item listing has ended and I'm not sure what to do now. When should I post the item and how long does it take before the payment shows up in my paypal account? It's not even pending yet. I've looked at "completing the sale" info on ebay help but I don't really understand.. can someone please dumb it down for me.

im selling an old padlock a fellow has puta proxy bid on it ans is now asking me to cancel his bids he is also winning the auction with 2 days to go. I have copy and pasted his excuse to me, Im wondering if this is a valid reason Hello, Can you please cancel my bid for this Auction. I have done some homework and found out these Padlocks are not as old as I thought. Infact I can still buy the same Padlocks Brand-New with all the same details on the face of the Padlock. All the details are the same such as 660, Squire Old English, Forged Steel Shackle, 4 Brass Levers.. on a Brand-New identical Padlock. If it was older the lock would have a different numbers than 660 etc...compared to the identical new lock I found. Another eBay seller sells them. Sorry about cancelling my bid. Do i have to cancel his bid especially having a proxy bid on it. Can someone tell me where i stand with this. thankyou for your time.

Is there a way of being able to track invoices sent to buyers for items? I sent 3 to a buyer before opening a case and they say I never sent them?

markcosilver

Thats something I am not sure of and thought the best idea was to at least ask.

jayzac71

No response from winning bidder - sold the item 7 days ago. Just wondering when I can offer it to my 2 second chance bidders to still be fair to the original bidder?

A buyer wants to retract his bid. I am okay with that as it is no use having a buyer possibly win something they don't want. However he wants me to cancel his bid. Which is the correct way? I feel he should retract his bid (he already has one retraction recorded in the past twelve months) rather than me cancel it. Am I being obstructive or should I insist the bidder retract?

I have an item which a buyer bid for it successfully, but she did not bother to pay for it. I tried to contact her twice but there is no response.What can I do? Can eBay force her to pay, or I just have to relist it? I think her behavior is similar to bid at a house auction then walk away - it might cost the vendor a good selling opportunity.

I've had a question from a buyer wanting to know if they can buy an auction item outright. Is this allowed? How do I go about it?

shumphrey1971

Prices have been inflated and tickets bought up simply to make astronomical profit for the seller. Not sure this is even legal. Would appreciate a reply as I seem to remember info posted on Ebay stating this was not acceptable and was being monitored.

I sold an item a week ago for pretty small change, however postage was going to be $12.50 since it was over 500gm. (All this was clearly set out in item description) Winning bidder contacted me a couple of days after invoice was sent to say she would be unable to make payment until the 14th of April which is when she would get paid. Gave buyer benefit of doubt since lots of people are doing it tough. Now had a message saying something has happened and can no longer pay at all. My questions are: Is it better to open an unpaid item dispute and then close it after 4 days? (And inform the 'buyer' I will be doing this) Or is it better to cancel the transaction (after receiving written agreement from 'buyer' that she wants transaction cancelled)? Does cancelling transactions leave a bad impression on a member's reputation? Thank you very much for any advice you are able to pass on 🙂

Can an item that is covered by copyright in the US be sold on EBay by a seller who is different from the person that the item is copyright to? e.g. I purchased an item from an US website and it was covered by copyright and now I have seen the same item for sale on EBay from an Australian seller

Can you have more than 1 ebay account? or one for each person at the same address? if that makes sense. Just dont want to break any rules 😉 Thanks 🙂

Last weekend someone bought a camera from me (via Buy It Now). The guy asked me to email him with some more information re shipping to South Africa as a birthday present for his son . He seemed Ok but unfamiliar with eBay. Anyway, I replied answering his questions & the guy said he was going to send money to my bank next day. Next day I got a msg from eBay cancelling my sale & refunding my fees because the "buyer" had hacked another eBay account & was using it to buy my item. A very nice start to the day! Then I got effusive apologies from the buyer, saying it was all a mistake & was sorted out with eBay. Then I got an eBay email (fake) confirming this & to go ahead with the sale. The "buyer" said he would use an intermediary company called Nochecks to pay me & was depositing the money ASAP. When the item was posted & proof sent to Nochecks, the funds would be released for me to transfer to my bank I did not respond to any of this (except to report to spoofs@eBay). Next day the buyer amped up things up by sending fake eBay emails saying my account would be suspended and threatening further action because he had paid & wanted mailing details at once. Again, I ignored all this. Then, today, I got a fake email from the Federal Police threatening to arrest me for fraud!! It is kind of interesting to see how skilfully (psychologically) these scams are perpetrated. I guess the moral is to avoid non-eBay communications. Also, the very first emails from this buyer were a little odd, but sometimes you do get inexperienced/disorganised buyers, so that was not a big red flag for me. I feel sorry for the real owner of the hacked account.

I have a Disney DVD box set, Alice in Wonderland for sale. It only has just over 2 hours to go and I was wondering why it only had a few looks, just 6. It doesn't matter which title I put into search, my DVD just doesn't come up and I was wondering if anyone had a clue? regards

Can I add the watching list to an item when it is relisted

I have been using the Basic uploader when selling but all of a sudden the Browse button is missing. Have tried clearing cookies, as advised, but this has not made a difference. How can I continue selling when I am unable to download pictures??

Hi, I sell expensive jewellery online so seller protection is a priority. Yesterday I paid for two parcel thru C&S and went to PO to get extra cover. They put the new extra cover 'barcode' over the C&S one and entered it for tracking purposes. They gave me a cash register receipt so I thought all was ok. It wasn't until I got home that I realised the receipt didn't have any address details on it (not even the postcode). So - rang Paypal to check if I'm still covered. They had NO IDEA of the changes in Australia (spoke to 2 clerks and neither one knew) and they couldn't confirm that my parcels would qualify! I pressed the last bloke on what to do and he said - 'just take a photo of the satchel with the shipping address attached and this would be proof'!! I feel very exposed as a seller and don't know where to turn next to get this sorted out. Obviously, if the parcel goes missing then the buyer can claim thru AP insurance cover - so I suppose the onus is fully on AP now - but I wonder if a dishonest buyer could claim the insurance AND open a missing item case with Paypal and get a recharge/reversal? Photographing every package is going to be a total pain in the proverbial and it's certainly not listed in the Paypal agreement as proof of shipping. It would be great if every Ozzie Ebay seller called Paypal this week to get some sort of action happening from the (at least clear guidelines for these new changes). There is power in numbers!

Buyer has not updated her address on ebay/paypal and asked me to send to another address. I asked her to update it and she said she has so I just sent to the address listed on ebay/paypal. Now she is asking for a refund or resend because I didn't send to the address she requested. The problem is the item is not registered and has no tracking. Can she open a case against me and win even though its her fault for not updating her details?

More Knowledge. More Possibilities.
