Yesterday I sold 4 items to a buyer, when she was bidding I messaged her and asked her to wait for a combined invoice at end of all auctions and I would be able to post all items together for cheaper in a 3kg bag, she was very happy with that and messaged back saying thank you. The last item ended last night, yet she made the payment for all items paid individually, didn't wait for invoice. I now can't print out a 3kg label now as only coming up with one 500g bag, and 4 items won't fit anyway, and I have been charged 4 individual postage fees as well. I have messaged her but not sure what to do. Do I refund her money and start again (not sure how this effects fees and protections) or just buy a bag at post office and refund the difference in postage less charges. I always use the eBay post bags so have them in stock. I was hoping not to have to go post office as I go overseas on Friday morning. Really happy I have sold items but this has made it complicated now. If only buyer had just waited, I would have had her items posted this arvo. Can anyone give me some advise.

After having sold an item on ebay I received emails from both ebay and paypal advising to send the item which I did. I was asked to show a copy of the receipt and I sent information. I am now receiving emails asking me to transfer some money on the account of the buyer (some story about some fraudulent package). The address of the item was in Nigeria...If I try to repport this on ebay it tells me that my item number is not valid. What are the steps I am supposed to take to make sure that I get paid.

You have billed me $60 for selling a car worth $490. $60 + $8 listing fee is nearly 14% of the sale price. This is to high and not worth listing on ebay. Is there a cheaper way to sell cheap cars on ebay ?

We listed a Hard Lid for a BT50 for sale at $800 or best offer. We have accepted the offer of $500 and the item has been picked up by the buyer. We marked it as ended as we could not see where we could mark it as sold. Hope this was correct. mac4bella

I "sold" a dress on ebay, the buyer had engaged and asked questions before the auction ended and she won the auction. Its been alomost 3 weeks now and she has still not made payment. I sent the invoice and a week later she replied and said she will go to the bank on wednesday and pay... its now been another few days since then and she has still not made payment. Is there anything I can do to get this person to pay? Also, Ebay is now invoicing me for the "sale" but since I have not received payment from the buyer and may have to relist the item will I be charged again if it sells again down the track?

Hi, I am an experienced e-bayer, I do strongly recommend not to sell 925 scrap, always sell sterling silver wearable items, if these are broken silver pieces or scrap you get better prices and better experience selling it at a reputable jewellery store, buyer or alike outside ebay. Most buyers or scrap sterling silver never end up happy, do your research, not worth it, you will end up risking your reputation on ebay, it is proven that scrap buyers are most of the time fraudulent and scammers . DO NOT RISK YOUR E-BAY REPUTATION OR ACCOUNT, do not sell 925 scrap as the seller protection does not cover sellers that sell scrap. Please leave your comments or experiences specially if you are a scrap dealer, seller or anything related. Thank you !

I am going on holiday overseas next Friday morning, I have quite a few items that are due to end and relist if not sold, while I am away. I don't want to end them all. I want buyers to know I won't be able to post till I get back in mid November. How do I put up notice on my sales that I will be away, I have searched eBay help but can't find it.

Hi. My buyer really needed her item so I offered express postage to ensure quick and safe delivery. She refused and wanted standard post. I mailed her item the next morning and have receipts to prove it. She then put in a claim saying her item didnt arrive. Because she chose standrd post the item did not have tracking Ebay have found in her favour and taken the money form my PayPal account. I have receipts to prove the item was mailed and our messaging was done through Ebay to prove I offered her Express post which she did not want. How can I dispute Ebay's ruling?

I am trying to set a reserve price so I can start with a lower opening bid. I can check the box that says set a reserve however there is nowhere to enter a reserve price. Am I missing something?

So I sold my drone on ebay. Buyer uses for a few weeks then starts a request saying he wants a return as the item is defective. Before I can respond the request is cancelled and a case is started. The case is then on hold. I have no idea what is going on, I email him to tell him the drone wasn't defective the issue he is having is new but I googled the problem and it looks to be an easy fix. I never get a chance to respond to ebay and the case is decided in his favour. I'm so confused... I don't mind getting the drone back because I saw the problem is easily fixed. But I seriosuly loose out. I pay for postage ($40) I pay for ebay listing fee ($75) - maybe I can get refund? I pay for return postage ($?) - he requested this in his case and because he won I guess paypal will take more money? I can't believe this, he effectively got free use of my drone for a few weeks, returns it for some bullocks reason and I pay for return postage.. Surely this is a scam? I will hopefully never sell through ebay again....

I AM 79 YRS OLD AND VERY NEW TO COMPUTERS AND SELLING ON EBAY, CANT FIND OUT HOW TO OFFER COMBINED POSTAGE, WHEN I TRY TO CHANGE INVOICE IT KEEPS ADDING THE DISCOUNT INSTEAD OF REDUCING THE TOTAL, HELP!!! VALAU30.

For some reason, when I offer free postage, eBay adds "Click & Collect" to my listings. I didn't want this and I don't offer it. If you know a way I can turn this off, please let me know.

Im getting fed up with buyers on ebay who dont make contact or pay for items. Ive advertised and sold a vehicle 4 times without getting any response from buyers. You cant leave negative feedback so new sellers wont know they are a bad buyer. I have to wait 4 days to list a non-payer , then wait 10 days for them to respond,knowing fully well that they wont and they dont put a legitimate phone number on their account. Ive set parameters around buyers with nonpaying strikes but they seem toi be able to still bid. Im sick of ebay as they dont support the seller
