A buyer wants to buy an item without bidding. Is this allowed?

This is sooo annoying one buyer wanted all three earings i had up for auction except she noticed one of the listings had a bid on it... so i agreed to do a buy it now for the 2 items she wanted leaving the item with a bid as is. So sold the 2 items although she would've liked all 3 I posted them yesterday asap for her. Now this morning the other set of earings that had a bid on.. well the bid has disappeared? I don't get it 😞

I want to relist an item. I was wondering if I click on the relist button I can edit the ad before it is reposted.

I love being part of the Ebay community but as a pensioner money is very scarce. Thanks in advance for any help.

One bogus buyer wanted to purchase caravan to send to Malaysia, he had a bad account (if any) with ebay and wanted to pay outside paypal/ebay. Second bogus buyer wanted to ship caravan to NZ again not sure if he had an ebay account - he wanted my e4mail address for paypal. Customer service say not to answer this latest email request as it will allow this person to access my information. Both people SMS'd me on my mobile to start- then email. How have others dealt with these leeches. I need to sell my van as a matter of necessity for payment of health related bills old and new. Why do people take advantage of ones hard times.

If I leave an unpaid strike for someone - can they still leave negative feedback?

How does the seller cancel a bid on behalf of a buyer? Am I better to just cancel the auction? If so, how? What fees will I be charged?

I am a seller and an item already had a bid on it. Yoday another buyer bid and asked that the bid be retracted 4 hours prior to the item ending. I was not in a position to read the request until 2 hours after item sold -. What are my options now?

Usually the amount of free listings appears on my Selling/Sold page but they are not there today. Yesterday they were showing I had 4 free listings to use. Have they moved this feature or maybe stopped it all together?. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a buyer wanting me to end this auction so they can buy 2 items asap...(they need it urgently) I would prefer to do it through ebay method as in paypal payment... not sure if i can go in and revise items so that they end earlier and get the buyer to put in a bid for them so the auction ends and buyer can go through usual method of payment?? anyone got any more simplified methods? Thx

Hi, guys. I am a seller, and i have unpaid item assistant set up for my account. Today, i realized it DID NOT WORK! I had several non-payers who won items more than $300 worth each, so i had peace of mind that when my 24 days that i specified in assistant pass, they will get a strike and i will get my seller fees. NOT AT ALL! I double-checked, the assistant is on, but NO UNPAID CASES OPEN! Now the resolution centre says it's too late to open cases manually...I lost about $60 on seller fees... Anyone had a similar problem and what did you do? Thank you! Ereene

Hi New to e bay How long should you wait for payment have sent emails and yet no reply Thanks

kattywattys

When I try to add a buy it now listing it only comes up with a maximum of a 10 day listing. I often see buy it now items for a lot longer than this and want to know how to do this if anyone can help. Thanks.

I gave a non payer the mutual cancellation agreement and still have no reply, How do a get my fees back and leave negative feedback

I've recently sold two items where both winners have neither contacted me after the sale or paid for/collected the items. I have lodged unpaid item claims for both. I have just closed this claim on one without contact or payment received. How can I see the unpaid item against their account? Can other sellers see it? I'm hoping so as it doesn't seem fair for people to be able to bid and change their mind without at least contacting the seller and discussing it. I've had to wait 8 days before I could relist to try and sell again, just to see them have the unpaid item listed against them.

Dear eBayers, If I list my product and tick "International" in the postage area of the selling box, is my item on view in other eBay sites around the world to attract international buyers, or do I have to register with other eBay sites for my products to be on display with them? In other words, can I just list on eBay.com.au, and by ticking "International" postage, have international buyers see my product? Thanks for your help tatlady53

jillcopago

I am trying to combine postage for a customer who won more than one of my auctions. ON the "send payment info" page there is places to change it or for Seller discounts (-) or charges (+): but neither of them 'take' what I try to put in and want to keep charging the original amount. How do I do it? many thanks.

tatlady53

Dear eBayers, How would I register to sell on all eBay sites so that I can sell internationally? Thank you for your help. tatlady53

Hi eBayers, Wondering if I need an eBay store to sell needlework patterns by attachment, so I don't have to charge postage. Would appreciate help with this, Kind regards tatlady53

Hi all Firstly id like to say a big thank you to the regular contributors on here as I read these boards often and have learnt a great deal (this is not my usual selling id). Recently I have been left some very low DSRs in relation to postage fees in one case I charged exactly what Australia post charged and with no handling fee and the next one I actually had a flat rate of post across Australia and to be honest as item is over 500grams post does vary so on the odd very rare occasion it does cost me what it says to post not including the packaging which is around 3 dollars extra which I never charge for. In the other incident I was left a low DSR for postage and handling when I actually took a hit for some ten dollars on the postage which I covered out of my own pocket so around $13 dollars all up with packaging but was still left with a low DSR but yet on both occasions glowing feedback!!! It just seems so unfair that a naive buyer can trash your store buy the click of a finger is there any way you can have low DSRs removed. Worst part is if they had of bough the item at a store they would of paid double which makes me even more frustrated I have only been trading here 6 months but I am fast learning a lot of people expect something for nothing. It would be a great idea for ebay and sellers if ebay was to say give a buyer a crash course in whats involved in online selling being madatory as part of the sign on process as I have noticed both buyer had less than 10 feedback sorry to rant 🙂 I am still only halfway through my morning coffee I should be right by the time I have finished, It just seems so unfair as we sellers dont own the postal company and wy buy online if you are not willing to accept postal costs??? Haha thats my rant for the day 🙂 Cheers.

Curious how people manage the recordkeeping of inventory and sales financials. I have an Excel spreadsheet that would be a kilometre long if I printed it out! I have a working knowledge of MYOB but wonder if that is overcomplicating things.

rebeccasmarty

Sorry - I don't know if I am allowed to ask a question within a question so have asked a new one. How do I make my feedback not Private please? rebecca

rebeccasmarty

I won an Apple I Pad and want to sell it. I have very low feedback as you can see and want to know how I can sell without people thinking it is a scam? or being scammed myself? Is BIN best? or Auction? Thank you for any help anyone here can offer, rebecca
