How do you transfer eBay Payout information into your business accounts?

Just wondering if anyone had tried ending an ongoing campaign and restarting it after 24 hours (advice received from customer services to help sales pick up) notice if it increases sales/activity? I can see the logic behind it, like listing a new ite...
Will Trump's Tariffs impact eBay UK to US sales?
I'm thinking of secondhand articles not new-to-market. If I were to sell an Art Deco Czech glass vase to the US, would the applicable tariff be that for Czechia where it was made ninety years ago or the UK tariff as I am in the UK? Would eBay add the...
