International shipping seems to be a major issue

Okay, when we new sellers start listing, many of us seem to miss the block international bidders thing until it is too late. Thinking we have covered this by listing "ships only to lower 48"and even no international when filling out listing. Why doesn't ebay just automatically set that to block snd if a seller is ecperienced, they can unblock and ship anywhere they want. Since delivery confirmation is doubtful and that leaves forced refunds quite possible, it seems like a simple solution. more…

INDEFINITE RESTRICTION IN CLOTHING & SHOES CATEGORY

Hi,   I was just wondering if it is ever possible to be able to sell again in a category that ebay says you are indefinitely banned from selling in.  I made a couple of mistakes a while back when selling in the clothing and shoes category, basically from ignorance and inexperience.  I did everything I could to correct the mistakes,  I refunded the customers and did whatever was possible to make them happy enough to retract any negative feedback, but no matter what I do I still can't seem... more…

Feedback removed

How would I go about trying to have bad feedback removed. A buyer lied and said a knife wasnt as described (mint) because it had oil on it. Yes... Oil... On a knife. After calling ebay, I was told to "just issue a refund and to try and resale the knife" .."as it was easiest". I was also told the buyer would not be able to leave feedback (at all). I was talked out of appealing (my fault for listening to ebay reps). Just seems like I was given the "run around" and lied to by ebay on the phone,... more…

Binding Contract?

I recently became interested in collecting old stock and bond certificates from Ebay. I just bought and paid for several certificates from a seller. I got my new bond price guide out after the auction and found to my delight that at least one of the bonds had a valuable signature on it that made it worth several times what I paid for it. I just got home and found a message from Ebay that the seller is cancelling the sale of the valuable certificates, even though the auction is over and paid... more…

If I check my own item that I am selling, does it count as a "view"?

I am selling some tickets.  I was just wondering if when I view my own item, it counts as an item viewed.  For example, currently I have no bids, one watcher, and 13 "views".  I have checked in on it a few times.  Does my own "peek" count as a "view"?

Who should leave feedback first?

As a seller, I leave feedback as soon as I get paid because I feel the buyer has met his obligation to me , he paid me. As a buyer,if I paid quickly, why wouldn't the seller leave feedback right away? Does he want to make sure I'm happy, because if I'm not and leave negative, he can do the same? Does he only leave feedback to me if I left it to him? If the seller gets paid right away, I believe he should leave feedback first. Any opinions?    more…
