eBay

 I am an occasional seller/buyer and have just been caught up in this automatic relisting of items.  It was not convenient as I was about to go on holidays and could not find a reason to cancel  which suited my situation.  I had two days to spare but it happened again.     I have now joined Selling Manager  which I am hoping is free after the first month.  I still cannot find where to cancel the "automatic relisting" box.      I was very happy with the way things were working before this but now am having difficulty finding my way around.  Am not terribly computer literate and this now seems to be making things a little harder for me.   Perhaps I would be better to cancel my subscription to Selling Manager.   Can someone please help?    Thank you.  ...

On my selling ID - An interstate buyer has bought a pick up only item (no postage or freight options were offered) & paid with PayPal & now wants to send a courier to collect. Did not ask if this was okay before buying & paying. Due to work & family committments I cannot be at home waiting for a courier, pick up times have always been mutually agreed.  The item is fragile & will not be packed for a courier. Do I just refund their payment? If they leave negative can it be removed?  ... View more

I'm finding that business is slow since the amount of listings that were regularly offered have dropped off. Ebay was regularly offering 100 free listings (even 200 at times) at least twice a month. This meant more items listed and more business generated.  With the lack of free listings being offered, other than the 40 a month, business has dropped right off for me. I'm findning this very frustrating, as I had a regular cash flow coming through which has now dwindled because my listings are so limited!   I know you can sell in bulk but that doesn't suit all the items I have on offer. I know you can set up a second ebay account but why should I have to? And the limitations are still there. Setting up an ebay store doesn't seem worth it after I have done my numbers.  Please eBay - bring back the regular free listings!!!!! ... View more

The item that I listed was today bought through the "Buy It Now" process.   However, the buyer messaged me:   It sounded a bit fishy, so I googled parts of the email and, yes, it is a scam.   I want to immediately cancel the transaction and the invoice that I sent, and report the hijacked account to eBay.   However, going through eBay's process of cancellation, they require I either wait four days or contact the seller! Absolute insanity! Either I have to wait four days to take action against a clearly fraudulant transaction, or I have to contact the scammer!   I must be missing something. There must be a way of immediately cancelling the transaction and reporting it all to eBay. If so, could someone please advise how to do this ASAP.       ... View more

Hi All, Looking for advice/feedback My listing title is "ready made wooden letters - wedding bday nursery - choose your letters" I have searched other listings that sell same/similar items and they are listed in a similar manner My descrption says "Price is for one letter only" "Enter the number of letters required in quantity" "message me with the letters you'd like" I have a buyer who paid for one letter but wants 3. He says my title and descrption is misleading. I have advised him that i would be happy to provide a full refund and transaction cancellation if an error is made. Hes already left me negative feedback, even after ive said that id be more than happy to refund.   Have i done the right thing? He didnt read the descrption. I dont want for him to do this to other sellers as i dont think thats fair. I processed the transaction cancellation the same day. What do you think? ... View more

Hi there,  I am trying to gain some current information in regards to ebay stats for a presentation i am delivering. I work for a software company called hollander international and we make a program called pinnacle professional which has a built in eBay module that automates the listing and selling of ebay listings. i would normally ask this information of my eBay contacts, Scott Shillinglaw or Asim Brown, but it seems as though they have both left.    The information i am looking for is:  - how many unique hits per day/month ebay.com.au gets - how many searches are conducted on a daily/monthly basis for automotive parts - contribution of automotive sales to ebays total sales for a period of time. i.e. automotive sales equate to _ _ % of eBays total sales - How often is a car part sold i.e. every _ _ seconds a car part is sold. - any information that may be useful regarding eBay and used automotive part sales and searches   If this information is available and not confidential, it would be a great to use in the hope of enticing more of our customers to start using our ebay built in eBay module, and hopefully generate more sales for eBay.com.au. Thanks, Surian.  ... View more

Some time ago i have downloaded GINGER spellchecker, which worked on facebook and also on eBay listings.  it was great to start with, as it avoided silly typos.  But after while it started to highlight words that I had correct and more importantly, offering as an alternative word totally different.  I was careful not to click on any of these hints, but I noticed that sometimes they ended up replacing the word anyway.  When, while listing something on eBay, this spellchecker told me that I should substitute the word EXQUISITE with DESTROYED, I was not amused and just ignored it.  I made my listing and fortunately  went immediately back and sure enough, I have listed Destroyed Item!  It took about 3x going back and changing the word, before it stopped automatically changing it.  And naturally, I immediately uninstalled GINGER.  Or so I thought.  For a while it still continued to offer its unhelpful advice, and then just highlighted the words/sentences it does not like and says "sign up to Ginger".    It does not come up anywhere, except in my eBay listings, and generally I manage to ignore the helpful hints.  But today it started to play another game with me;   I stated in my listing: COMES FROM NON SMOKING HOME , but Ginger never liked that expression, and today it would immediately jumble up the letter to something like COFROM NOKING HOMEMES ON SM.  I had to re do that sentence about 10x, and everytime I thought it was right, once submitted, it went jumbled again.   Why is this spellchecker still in my eBay listings?  Does it have anything to do with ebay?  What can I do about it?   ...

Hi!   A buyer has won 2 of my listings. The postage stated $8.25 for each item.  I adjusted the postage for both items to be posted together, which came to $9.95.  She emailed me saying that the postage in my listings state "free postage". I looked up my listings to check, and it does state $8.25 postage. I emailed her to have another look at the listing, in case she may have mis-read it.  She emailed me back saying that she will still purchase and pay for postage, but is telling me that her listing states "free postage". Can someone please tell me why she insists that it states "free postage" though when I look up my listing, it states $8.25 postage. Thanks ... View more
