HI, I don't know how to set up my paypal account to make it easiest for Australian buyers to purchase from me. I presume AUS$ is best. What should I do to set my account up correctly. I have a premier account. Thanks 🙂

Back again - a buyer has not received a parcel I sent, I have tracked it and found it is in the freight company WA depot awaiting pickup. I advised buyer via ebay message 2 days ago but have had no response. I wanted to contact them by phoneto let them know but when I enter the item number to get contact details for the transaction I get an ebay message, 'this item number is no longer in our data base' I sent the item on 11/6 - surely that is not too long ago? Any suggestions please?

as a seller can you pull out of auction, withdraw from the auction

Is it me or do there seem to be a much larger number of unresolved questions here in the AC than ever before? I also wonder if I am getting 'thicker' or is it just getting 'harder' to navigate around the boards. When I see a question that is really quite important, you guys answer, then the OP never comes back to check (or at lease doesn't click resolved) I really feel for them, maybe they are awaiting a response from ebay?? As it is I guess this should be on Discussion Boards, but I couldn't find where to put there either.

Hi, I just sold 2 items and the transaction is showing paid (the little $ sign is blue in the column next to the transaction - like when there has been a Papal payment) but there is no Paypal transaction for the items and the buyer has indicated that they were paying via bank deposit. How would this have happened and has anyone seen this before? Thanks

I'm using the variation lister according to instructions (well obviously not somehow!!) and I'm not sure if the variations are supposed to be evident before the buyer commits to buying. The photos are all there but only as description shots, not as variation options - even though I've set it up to show pics both in variations and description. Any helpful pointers would be appreciated. Thankyou.

I have a rare Item to sell, I have completed my listing but when I submit I am told I have a selling limit that is way below the value of the item I want to sell. Why does this happen and can I get the limit increased to a suitable level. This is the first time I have listed an item to sell and have no history.

Hi I found a very expensive Cartier ring 4 years ago. I left a note for the person who lost it and also made enquiries with the police to see if anyone had reported it lost. I never heard back. I have contacted Cartier in an attempt to trace the owner via the serial numbers on the inside of the ring to no avail. Can I sell it? Not sure what else to do with it.

Hi there. I sold an item recently, and wanted to discuss the difficulty I'm having with the buyer. On request, I sent our address for pick up. Two days later buyer asked for address AGAIN, and arranged a time and day to collect. Didn't show up, no contact. After I enquired as to what was happening, buyer made another request for address, and rescheduled for another time and day. Again, failed to show up, and no contact. Once again, I had to pursue the buyer to find out what was happening - only to be met with another request for address and no explanation of why buyer didn't show up twice. I advised that address had been sent three times, and now I've just received ANOTHER request for address - with an abrupt "I can't pick up without address". Do I persist with this buyer, and risk negative feedback? I'm also disturbed by the repeated request for my address. Buyer has asked for it four times now, and I have copies of my messages to prove it's been sent three times. I would like some advice, if anyone has any 🙂

Is there anything I can do to prevent or minimise buyers who don't pay for their ebay purchases other than to block them for future transactions? Even that doesn't do much good when the buyer creates another throwaway ebay account for their next purchase. I see it everywhere on ebay lately, the amount of non paying buyers has reached epidemic proportions and I'd like to know what ebay are doing (if anything) about it? Wouldn't it be great if ebay took the responsibility to look after the sellers better than currently, after all, sellers are at the mercy of buyers at the moment. I personally have had 5 out of the last 10 items not paid for, that equates to a 50% failure rate through ebay. The things I am selling are only a hobby at this stage, however ebay's neglect towards sellers doesn't really inspire people to take ebay seriously. I for one am excited about selling on ebay seriously, and am open to advice from other members on how to set up a successful store that runs smoothly. Why doesn't ebay enforce the sale when a buyer commits to making the purchase? Isn't it common sense to debit the credit card or take the purchase amount from the buyer's bank account? Doesn't ebay take their own company seriously? I thought once the buy it now button is clicked, it becomes a legal sale and the purchaser is committed. Does the ACCC have any say in this? I have emailed ebay about non paying buyers (through another account) and the reply was like a pre-typed message, almost as if a machine replied to me. What is this all about? Sorry folks but the amount of non paying buyers is starting to get a bit frustrating, any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks for your time in reading this 🙂

Hi, We sell marine used parts in ebay. Recently we have stocked some of these items, but not sure what these actually do and how to list them. Also what will be the price range. Here are some of the images: Proper identification will get $10 reward. Cheers!

Just wondering if your 30 free listings are applied on the 1st of each month? I do not seem to have any free listings at the moment and I used the last of my free listings on Saturday. Does it matter that I have active auctions at the moment that were started using free listings? Would this be preventing me from accessing my 30 listings for this month?

vitamins_online

I still have 27 free listing, but when I do the listing, there is insertion fee of $1.50. does anyone know why is that?

i sold my car to a buyer that has 4 feedback =100% but all items he has brought he has not paid for a single one according to 4 different sellers comments, 2 of items he purchased were cars. I don't have the time to open a dispute as the car runs out of registration in 10 days. If i cancel transaction and relist will i occur double fees? And why does he have 100% feedback? thanks...

i sold some dvds and the customer would have received them about 5 weeks ago.they have just sent me a message saying one isnt as described as is skipping,which appeared ok when i viewed it, i also sent this customer an extra one.this is the first complaint i have had and strive to have happy customers.what is the best way to handle this ,should i offer to refund the whole amount including postage .

suzanne64*2010

I'm afraid that if I do not refund I will receive a negative feedback from them, but I have posted the perfume as listed (standard postage) and either way I'm going to be out of pocket?? Has this happened to anyone else and, if so, what did you do? Thanks, Suzanne

How do I set a reserve price on my item for auction. There seems to be no option for this on my page

Lately I've been receiving error messages saying there's a problem with my galler picture of some lisitngs. I can see the gallery picture OK, and tried with another ID and could still see it. Is this happening to anybody else - is it a glitch. I don't understand what's going on, and don't know whether to be concerned about it or not. Thanks Kaye

This morning I took my Click&Send satchels to the PO and after they were scanned the lady did not give me the cash register receipt. When I insisted, and other staff member was called, I was told that as from today the receipts are not being issued. Has anybody else found this to be so? Or did these people just not know how to operate the system?

Im soooo tired of non-paying bidders!!! I have my settings set that if someone has 2 non-payment strikes in a month, they should be blocked from bidding. The last 2 items ( same item) the winning bidders both have feedback ( on closer inspection) saying that they have not paid. Ebay should allow the non-payment strike option to be for one non-payment strike, and this should be shown on the buyers profile. Sellers are not allowed to leave negative feedback...so most sellers resort to leaving positive feedback with a negative comment!!! Sellers will only see this if the investigate further...we dont all have time to do this. PLEASE Ebay let sellers leave a non-payment strike which shows!!!!!!!!!!! Im sick to death of non-paying bidders wasting my time. Cannot remember how many i have had.....its frustrating and the problem needs to be solved! Makes me not want to bother any more. Non-paying bidders keep doing it over and over and over again...there is no real penalty for them not to. NON-PAYMENT STRIKE SHOULD SHOW ON THEIR PROFILE!! PLEASE

Hi I am having trouble getting the ID number to start selling. The number which comes up to ring must need an area code as it will not ring thru and could you tell me which state I will be ringing and is there a large cost to ring this number. The number I have been told to ring is 800093577. Could someone please help me out. cheers
