I contacted ebay & was told "tuff" how can i trust ebay not to do it to more of my items when i can't get the chance to prove ebay they were wrong? The first thing I knew was 2 hours after listing said item it was removed. Then i was given a policy violation that will last 6 months. I know there are petty sellers out there who think they have exclusive rights but they need to get into the real world. here is an example: I go to china & get a company to recreate my artistic design that I personally sculpted. Before they commence a contract is done making me the licensee of the product. I then ship the product back to the US & onsell it to wholesalers who then onsell it to retailers who sell it to the consumer. The US wholesaler sells it to a UK retailer who sells it on to the public. I get on ebay & see my item is selling from the UK & I only sold it in the US does that give me the right to tell eBay it is a knockoff without confirming it is original or not? Does it give eBay the right to delete the listing permenantly without asking the question of authentisity? When an item is commercially availaibe (throughout the world) & is able to be sorced from anywhere the only thing I as a retailer would need to do is substanciate with my seller that they are licensed to sell me that item ligitimately. I can resell that same item that was purchase under the license of the original seller without breaching the IP of the original artist. this law exists in the fair trade laws here in Australia. I understand the need to protect peoples rights but to not ask "where'd ya get it" is unfair. Not even a reason why it was suspected of being a fake except the dobber stated they are they only ones to import it in. Apperently they were wrong! what do i do?

I hope somebody can help me as I'm sitting here really upset & can't go to bed as I don' feel like sleeping. A long time buyer with good feedback bought an item from me about 11/72012 & sent email to advise payment would be made by Bank acoount. I waited some time, as I was not well myself, and sent a couple of emails reminding of payment but received no reply. I opened an Unpaid Item Dispute 11/8 and after no response, closed it yesterday, 16/8. Last night (16/8) received an email from buyer apologising for delay & advising there had been a murder in the family, and would now pay. I then received another email straight after as buyer had received notification of unpaid item dispute against them. I do not want to cause this buyer any problems, but on reading eBay's policies, it seems only buyers can as for strikes to be removed - have I intepreted this correctly? I feel so bad, as my instincts told me there was some problem, but because of no contact (couldn't find a phone no.in white pages & didn't think to contact eBay for contact details) thought it best to just end the dispute. I believe this eBayer, as the items bought would not be purchased unless wanted. Am I able to contact eBay and ask for strie to be removed?

The seller only wants to trade, not sell - is this allowed? I assume he is trying to get around seller fees - or is this a scam? They have 100% feedback and have sold 321 items before, but this is the first listing like this - also, all his other listings are the same at the moment... I can't find answers on eBay so thought I'd ask here! Cheers

Just wondering if anyone has suggestions/advice. Thanks

I'm planning to actually go into business with a view to becoming an ebay trading assistant, however I'm not sure if in the beginning just selling for friends whether I need the abn & business name or if it is only when I am actually an official trading assistant or advertising my services to those outside of close friends. I will not be treating this as a hobby, however initially as I'm building up my selling ability I'm not expecting a large profit just enough to make ends meet. Thanks

I would like to create my listings now at night but post them say tomorrow afternoon so that the ending time is not late at night when most people are sleeping. Hopefully it's some simple thing I've missed. With hopefulness that someone can help Kelly

I have listed my first item on ebay a couple of days ago, but would now like to remove it. How do I do this?

Where can I find out about restrictions that certain countries have against products like wood & natural fibers. I hope to sell masks woven from palm fronds. They have originated in Panama & had to go through Quarantine to get here (in Australia). If I sell worldwide I'd like to post a warning in the description to prepare bidders of possible hassels.

I have several items sold and arrived at destination, but haven' t received feedback for these items. Is there anything I can do, as I would like to increase my feedback score.

Recently listed a CPAP machine 14/08/2012, shortly after Ebay advised me they had removed my listing as listing CPAP machines is against Ebay policy. However I noted that there were 4 or 5 CPAP machines listed at that time none of which have been removed. Since then there are 2 new listings of CPAP machines What gives?

A buyer deposited the amount into my bank account I marked as payment received Although, in the selling/sold section it says buyer has not completed checkout? does she have to mark it as payment sent before I can view her address? I've contacted her a couple times now asking for her address to no avail Is there any other way I can view it to post her item?

Could anyone please advise me on how I can find a buyer’s email address? I need to send a buyer an important message that is longer than that which is allowed in the communication box on the contact buyer page. Thanks

We have bought many goods from ebay now we are selling for the first time, some one has bought an item we are selling but we confused as when to post it as it appears the item has been paid for but money isn't in our paypal account or bank account. Could someone please help us as we don't want to start getting bad feedbacks.

angelbabies2009

Why can the buyer come and pickup the goods, inspect it for ages,and then decide its not as described and open a case against you. Worst thing is, ebay always defends the buyer, and if you respond to the buyer and they are still not happy, without ebay seeing the item how can they rule for the buyer???? How do I know that the buyer has not tampered with the product in the time they have had it??? Good wishes to all the sellers out there, may we all stick together to have these things changed to protect us also.

Hi All, Did I read the ebay email correctly? Featured stores fees will soon rise from $24-95 per month, to $49-95 Per month? Am I correct ? Regards, John.

mandyhoxx

I am very sure I have posted it via AUpost and had the correct address, she still hasn't received the parcel after two weeks and wants a refund, what should I do?

Hi, Is a seller allow to state in their listing that they have a reserve price on a electronics item and they will only seller to the winning bidder if they have met their reserve price. As nobody knows what the reserve is then I would think alot of seller would do this and if they didnt get what they want from an item they are selling then they can just cancel the listing if their expected sale price is not met. I thought you could only put a reserve on vehicle, boat, motorbikes etc. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance. Cheers

I listed an item but after 10days it was taken off, I wondered if a continous listing can be done on Ebay.com.au as it can be on Ebay.com and Ebay.co.uk

Hello, I recently sold a dress on eBay that had a couple of stains, which I clearly stated in my description. The auction ended July 29, and payment was received promptly. I shipped the dress 2 days after payment received. Yesterday I have received an email from the buyer saying that the dress has "2 large" stains that were not mentioned in the description, asking for a partial refund. I do describe my items carefully, have 100% positive feedback and am pretty sure I would not have missed this, apart from that the buyer has waited 10 days to contact me, to me she could have worn the dress in the meantime and stained it. What would be the best way to resolve this? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

baddogzzz
