Switched to Seller Hub & it sabotaged my auctions
Anyone else have Seller Hub royally mess up their listings? I had set all my auctions for 10 day listings. Great. I got some bids. All looked great. On day 6, all my auctions were suddenly set to end the next day. Not only that, my NO international shipping had been switched to allow for some, but not all, countries. I was able to fix the shipping issue, but not the auction length.
I’m new to selling on eBay, and wanted to ask if there is any way for me to change the shipping price?
I tried looking it up and can’t find anything useful, the listing is for an item that weighs nearly 15 pounds, and will cost atleast $35 to ship, eBay so fixing the shipping cost at roughly $7, and I can’t find any way to change the package details or the cost, thanks.l submitted by /u/Single-Unit-3686 [link] [comments]
Refunded for item not received. 2 months later, it arrived
I ordered something on eBay just about 2 months ago. The item was shipped but within a few days the item stopped moving, was said to be delayed and eventually it said the item didn’t have proper postage. I filed a claim with eBay and was refunded the money. Randomly today, the package was delivered. Do I have to let the seller/ eBay know? Should I let them know? This is the first time something like this has happened to me so I’m not sure on the protocol.
Block list
How do you go about blocking people? I have about 7k sold items and roughly 50-60 blocked users now. I've gotten to a point where I block anyone that offers me 50% or less or my asking price (absolutely none of my listings have offers enabled) anyone that demands something extra after a purchase like 1 day shipping for free or extra items. Anyone that makes a false "item not as described" case to force a return. And anyone that messages 3 plus times in a single hour with the same exact question like the world revolves around them.
Sellers with 3+ year old phones claiming they are brand new sealed
Was looking at an S23 Ultra for my wife and on eBay there's some sellers with loads of good ratings, but I'm curious cuz they are claiming their s23 ultras are brand new factory sealed, and I'm curious as to how there's sellers with brand new unopened phones that are 3 years old. Is this fairly normal or should I be suspicious?
Having the worst buyer experience from a seller
I’m having the worst experience I’ve ever had on eBay and I’ve been buying on their platform for more than two decades. The seller was very responsive at the beginning and I spent nearly $300 with them over a month ago and my stuff still hasn’t been shipped. They have put on “seller is away” 3x since then and won’t answer my messages. This should be illegal! They made a label after over 2 weeks of my purchase but that was now 2 weeks ago and they still haven’t handed it off to USPS.
Buyer says package postage due
It finally happened to me. I’ve sold literally hundreds of those brown eBay mailers ESE for $1.36 postage with no problems (other than the occasional not delivered ones). Today however a buyer said that he received one with postage due of $7. I’ve always kept the weight and thickness within the limit. Has this happened to anyone else and is there any recourse that I have? It’s clearly a rogue postal worker that doesn’t know what he/she is doing. submitted by /u/AllAboutTheBaseCards [link] [comments]

Is "surveillance" pricing a thing?
I'm double checking some things on an item before buying and twice now the price has gone up a few dollars. The first time it was 5 and just now it was 1 more. The item isn't cheap either. At first I thought okay cheeky seller but then 1 dollar? Could this be an eBay thing or is it a seller trying to take advantage of a situation? submitted by /u/nevertoohigh [link] [comments]
How to list and calculate shipping on this set of chairs? Also how to ship this
Thank you in advance Hoping to get some advice some experienced sellers on how to list and calculate shipping on this set of chairs? They can fold up like a directors chair. Not sure what is the best course of action? I have never sold anything this big, or delicate before. Want to make sure the potential buyer receives the chairs not damaged. -do I ship out both chairs in one big box, or one chair per box? -do I ship on a pallet or regular ground (Fedex/Canada Post/UPS) in boxes is fine? -how do I calculate the shipping cost when listing,
New to buying on eBay
I’m very new to buying on eBay, from what I have seen on here I understand it is very difficult to sell on eBay(Because of buyers). Am I wrong to get a bad vibe from this dude? Is this just a seller that’s tired of all the BS? I mean I understand getting frustrated but dang dude. I guess my biggest question is can a seller make it a living hell for me when buying an item? I know a buyer can be a royal pain with returns/refund. Just don’t know about the buyer side. I apologize if this is a dumb question
What do you guys use to print your labels?
I’ve recently started selling on eBay more frequently and it’s pretty overwhelming. I’ve just been bringing my orders to my local post office and having them print labels but I can’t help but feel really bad as my number of orders keep increasing. I now have 28 orders to ship out by Thursday, and the stress of bringing 28 orders to the post office for someone to scan is killing me! With that being said, are there any cheap options in terms of potentially getting my own label printer/paper?
Package refused by mailman saying it needs a Hazmat label???
I've been shipping jewelry USPS for several years and have never had this problem. I shipped a necklace out last week in a plain black bubble mailer that had not be used before as usual and got it returned by the mail person with postit note saying I needed to fill a Hazmat form out or it would be held for 30 days at the Greensboro airport?????? I looked at the listing and shipping label and it doesn't say anything about me accidentally labeling or listing this with any hazardous materials that I can see unless I'm missing something
Listing items appears to effect overall sales
I might be wrong but it seems to me that my overall sales are only good when I am consistently listing new items. I am a fairly small hobby seller focused on model trains. When I am consistently adding stuff it seems like more of my items, new & old, sell better than when I am not adding as frequently. Has anyone else noticed that? submitted by /u/Jazzlike-Style13 [link] [comments]
I've identified and verified several eBay accounts are drop shipping using stolen credit cards, and eBay's leadership doesn't care
I've had muliple eBay sellers order from my website using stolen credit cards where they sell below cost to their eBay buyers and purchase through my site using stolen credit cards. I've identified 4 eBay accounts and reported them to eBay, reported one to the FBI. Even spoke to someone from eBays leadership team. It seems they don't really care, and just forward info onto "health and safety." These accounts some of them are doing $10's of thousands of dollars in sales.
