Hi there I sold a pair of pants the other day and I am sure they were 100% in good condition. However, the buyer sent me an email a few days later stating that they are faulty (they have a tear). She wants me to make a full refund (price of the item + postage) + return postage. I offered her a full refund of the price of the item + postage but not the return postage. Could anyone give me advice? Have I to pay the postage to get the item back? I think it is quite unfair as I remember to have checked these pants before uploading the ad and before sending them and they were perfect, so she may have done that... Any advice would be welcome 🙂 thanks

I am a seller. Someone retracted his bid and explained it with " seller changes description of item" which wasn't the case. Now it is published , for everyone to see on the bid history site, which doesn't look very nice. Do I get a bad feedback with that? Or any other disadvantages? I contacted the person and he explained it was his fault, he didn't read the description right. But it is still on the site. What can I do or he to take it off the site?

I created and saved a draft with the eBay iPhone app but I can't find it anywhere when logged in on my computer. The photos are saved and available as 'already uploaded photos' but I can't find any of the other info. The draft appears as a draft on the phone ie it's definitely saved. Is the draft only saved on the phone and not on ebay? If so, can I upload the photos from the phone without all the rest of the pissing around creating a draft listing I can't complete on another device? TIA Damo

Ok so my winning bidder arrived to pickup the wine barrel I had listed and was very apologetic but had assumed it was the large not small variety, so did not want it. So what do I need to do to get back my selling fees on the item, & do I put it up for a 2nd chance offer or just relist?

Hi everybody, I have been trading on e-bay for a number of years and I now have the time to open a shop (yippee). I am wondering if I will loose all my feedback etc that I have gained over the years - or if I keep the same username will I be able to keep it??? I am just looking into shop details now and this is something that concerns me as it takes time to build up a good base and customer confidence is so important...

An overseas potential bidder has indicated interest in bidding on my Australian listed item. The item is not listed on his country's eBay. Does he (or I) have to make any special arrangements to allow him to bid on my item? Lee.

It was my belief that it is illegal to sell tickets for more than there ticketted price yet again we have ebayers selling one direction tickets at grossly inflated prices. What is Ebays stance on this?

What happens if an item is sold outside eBay before the end of the auction?

Hi there I have a question and would like some advice. I sold a pants on Ebay and I stated they were preowned but in good condition. The seller contacted me to say they have a snag in the crotch (but I never saw it). She wants full refund including postage. What can I do? Should I make full refund? thanks 🙂

This has happened in the past and it is very frustrating when you are about to do listings and are unable to proceed. I have tried to log out and then back in but it makes no difference and then at some point hour later it starts to work again. Is this due to high traffic volume with ebay or is it something I can resolve from my computer?

Not sure If this is the right place to post this ? I picked up this Mad Max VHS (see pics below) recently and I'm thinking about selling it here on the bay. There is no release date on the box, but I think this may be one of the original VHS releases here in oz, at least with the American cover art anyway. Anyway, I would like to find out which releases it is before sell it, so if anybody has any info, it would be most appreciated.

Hi, I am trying to include a multiple-item postage discount in my listings as I am selling several items, but I'm not sure how to do this. If someone could help me it would be much appreciated!

I am a seller, should I be worried about someone who changed their ID 3x and has 0 feedback?

I recently sold a preloved Thomas The Tank train track on ebay in great used condition, the lady that purchased it is now claiming it is missing clips where is lies flat on the floor and clips together, which were clearly not part of the track and never have been and you can see this in the photo that clips are not even part of the structure or design. She wants a refund because she now feels she bidded and paid to much, do I have to pay her postage to send it back and her postage that it cost to send it to her. Do I even need to give her a refund.

Hello everyone, I recently sold a top which was damaged (had a hole down the middle) and the fault was mentioned in the listing and photographed. The buyer contacted me saying there was another hole that wasn't mentioned in the description asking for further steps. I then told the buyer that if she wanted to return, I would happily refund the full cost + the return postage. Then she e mailed back requesting a "higher refund" because "she doesn't believe I will be able to re-sell it." I personally think this is quite unreasonable because I was not trying to trick her, was being very considerate, plus I have 100% positive feedback (have been trading here for a very long time and never encountered a situation like this before) and I think she wants to make money off me. How would you proceed in this situation? Thanks for your replies and suggestions.

After an email telling me about the arrival of the broken plate and promising photos of the plate, I have not heard further from the buyer. I have now emailed twice (once privately and the second time through ebay) very politely asking for photos etc, saying I will refund etc and asking for a mutual cancellation please. I have heard nothing further and wonder if I should now just leave it. The plate was reportedly smashed but I'm now wondering if maybe it wasn't as bad as originally stated.

A bidder has requested that I cancel his bid with one day 20 hrs to go. I am happy to do this as he made an honest mistake. Is there a simple procedure? Cheers untamugunta
