A prospective purchaser has contacted me asking that in the event of his bid being successful could he delay the payment for fourteen days by which time sufficient funds would become available. The amount of money involved is around Aus$700. I would have no problem in acommodating this delay. What is the EBay position on his delaying the payment?

I have no problem in complying with his request. If I hold off posting will I incur a low DSR from eBay for not posting in one day as I have listed. What generally happens in this instance?

Buyer won bid on my item and refuses to tell eBay she cancelled it! Ebay tells me that i can't relist my item or get credit, unless seller contacts them and tells them of her change of mind. Why is this seller getting away with it? I refuse to pay fees for someones change of mind. I was told I need to go to advance search and get her other contact , because she is not responding. Please advise.

Hi peeps haven't sold anything for a while so I'm a bit out of the loop. My husband bought me a new ipad and so I decided to sell my old one, it was quite ld with a cracked screen, and sold priced accordingly. The buyer receives it, and says the screen is cracked much more than she thought - I described it well but pics are hard of a screen! So, that's ok, I say post it back for a full refund, or keep it and have a $30 discount, whatever suits you. Now 10 days later she decides to send it back BUT she's used it, and now says part of the screen doesn't work, which may be due to the tempered glass thingy she has put over the top to try and minimise the cracked look. Is this thing removable? I don't know what to do, in my mind if she was going to send it back she shouldn't have used it (given she wrote she wasn't happy with it straight away) and shouldn't have tried to "improve" it. I dowanna have a fight! Waaa. It's Christmas, peace on earth, goodwill and all that stuff, but not sure how to respond. I don't also want to give her back her money if I now virtually have to sell it for $50 because she has not actually improved it, but mucked it up further. Help please.

Hi there, I am a new eBay seller. I am v happy that my first listed item seems to be selling fast. But all my sales show "Pending payment from Paypal". Clearly I cannot post the goods until I get the $'s. So how long does it take for Paypal to pass the buyers money to my account? thanks! C

I do not have an eBay store and my 10-day multiple item listing is ending soon with few quantities left. I was wondering if the quantities I have 'sold' so far will be retained and displayed when I re-list the items. Or anyone to do so - as I think having 'sold' items does help with further sales. Thanks in advanced for your reply! vccdeals

A buyer who won item at auction is not contacting us to arrange payment of collections. I have invoiced, sent message, text & called & no response in over 2 weeks. What do I do to get payment or can I relist goods & report them as difficult buyer??

Can only view what I have sold for the last 2 months... Is there any way I can view what I sold from before that (say 3 or 4 months ago)? I don't just mean the value, I mean the items sold, thanks!

G'day, I'm still having trouble selling my bicycle with local pickup. The link below is what previously happened. This time I stipulated in the add that no questions about couriers will be answered and no overseas bidders but still an Interstate buyer (with zero feedback) wins the auction. I messages them after seeing their address saying its local pickup only. I've not heard anything back from them. Can I just cancel order again? This will be the second time I've had to do this. How can I stop non local bidders from bidding? Thanks. http://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Selling-on-eBay/Local-pick-up-means-local-pickup/qaq-p/1875224

I sold an item ($46) and the winning bidder advised "hi im sorry but ill need to pass im so very sorry my kids have been playing with my phone". I tried a second chance offer to the second highest bidder but had no reply. I still want to sell the item. What is the best course of action for me now?

A buyer is having second thoughts less than 12 hrs before bidding closes and asks seller to cancel for her. I am reluctant to do so as it will count towards a negative rating for my seller performance. What is the best thing to do??

Can anyone please advise me as to how I can alter the pricing format after i've scheduled a lisitng, but it has not gone live yet. I know that a fixed price cannot be changed to an auction style listing. Knowing that it can't be done is one thing but it doesn't answer why it can't be done. I would think that if the item is waiting to be listed, then you should be able change anything that you want to. 🙂

I send most of my items without tracking as they are low value and weigh under 125 grams. In the lead up to Christmas I would like to ramp things up. I have asked eBay directly but have got conflicting answers. Robyn

Hello All, I have been negotiating with a buyer for payment of 7 items purchased over 2 weeks from mid October and have made numerous arrangements that have not be kept. Now the buyer is ignoring my emails, so I selected "more options" in the drop down box next to each item to raise a case and the "report unpaid item" option is missing! I wondered could this be due to it has been more than 30 days since the items were purchased? I have tried to locate information from the answer centre but there is nothing about the length of time that can lapse before the unpaid item option is no longer available, unless I have missed something. Can anyone shed any light on this or point me in the right direction please? Thanks so much

Is it better for collectable auctions to end during the day or in the evening and i one day any better than another? Thanks

Hi, hoping someone may be able to help. A while back when I listed an item for sale, my location was just shown as Riverina. Now it shows the actual town on the listing location. Is there anyway I can change it back to show just Riverina. Thank you for any help, Ian.

Hi, this is John again. thank you to digupatin for your reply. (below) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A useful tip John. Instead of starting off a new thread everytime you ask a question related to your first post you can add it to your original thread which will make it easier to follow. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Sorry, but I started another question because I could not see a "reply" button, just "Leave a comment" or Tag. How do I reply to my original post? I have been on ebay for a long time, and had many questions answered, but I have never found the reply button to reply to somebody who has provided an answer for me. I have left "comments" in the past, but can you tell me how to reply, so that it is easier to follow? Regards, John.

Hi Would just like to verify I can only put my item for sale in one catagory only. I sold quite a bit about 5 years ago and it has all changed. I thought then I could choose a few catagories, but it looks like I can only sell it in one place. Thanks

I've already sent separate ones by mistake. The buyer now says she is still wanting to bid on my other items and could I send her a combined invoice tomorrow. Please help Thank you .

I have received a negative which I knew would be coming. The circumstances were that I stupidly listed an item belonging to the son of a friend. At end of auction he decided he no longer wanted to sell. I pointed out that he was obliged to sell but it made no difference. I accept responsibility and so I the buyer explaining what had happened, apologising sincerely. The only option I could see was to cancel the sale however she was very angry and declined the cancellation, which I acknowledge is her right. The item was listed as pick up only but I see that she has left a low rating for postage time. How can that be?

What's the best way to advertise an item and avoid being scammed by a fraudulent buyer who is only trying to get your personal info or scam eBay for the money back guarantee? eBay recommends using the "Buy it Now" price structure but this clearly doesn't work. It actually makes it easier for a bogus buyer to target the seller. As soon as the fraudster bids for the "Buy it Now" price, your item is taken off the market and treated as sold. You then have to wait for eBay to detect the bogus bid and cancel it. Then you've got to go through the relisting process. This has happened to me 3 times in a row this week. Not a good start for my forst time using eBay! I'm sure I'm not the first person to experience this. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just received an email stating that if a Seller sells more than $10,000.00, then eBay have been formally requested by the ATO for ALL of your details as a Seller. A formal request is not an order to comply. I suggest that if eBay do this, they are breaking all sorts of Australian privacy laws. I bought my stock with my own money that I've already paid tax on? Don't do it. Complain. D.K.
