Can I sell the same item on ebay and hipswap at the same time and/or different times.  Or do I always have to list the item on one or the other? i.e. if I already have an item on ebay and have had no luck for a long time can I then also list it on hipswap?

Ebay pin

Just received an automated phone call asking me if I was expecting a call from Ebay.  If so, press "6".  I wasn't expecting a call from Ebay but pressed "^" anyway.  The automated caller gave me a number which is an Ebay pin.  Then it disconnected.  Is this on the up and up?  Has anyone else had this happen?  And if so, what is the PIN for?  Thank you. more…

New seller Discounts for fees

Does anyone else think this new policy of one day shipping + returns is awful for sellers? I have a husband with cancer & there are days that I cannot be at home to ship on a daily basis, due to his treatments or him being in the hospital. I work so hard to maintain my 100%positive feedback & seller ratings so that I can get the 20% discount on my fees, but this is just unreasonable. What if you work a full-time job & sell on eBay? How can everyone possibly post items everyday? This... more…

Extortion

A seller, to whom I mistakenly sent a wrong item, and who at first said he'd send the item right back, is now saying he won't send it back unless I send him a money order for $30, to which $5 will be added each time I send him an email or message. Ebay, when informed, and who had access to every blackmailing and extorting message, made ME feel like the criminal, and was represented by a woman who was supercilious, rude, unforthcoming, superior, punishing and unmoved by the fact that a member of... more…

Overcharged postage

When I won the auction, the seller sent me the invoice with obviously overestimated postage. I immediatelly objected, since I saw the actual rates of his country's post on the web, but he instisted that such cost is justified. However, now that the parcel finally arrived, I see that I was right. Converted to US Dollars, the sticker on teh parcel says he paid 9 $, while he charged me 22 $. I believe his act was against E-bay's policy, so what can I do now to report this and ask for the justice? more…
