Another way eBay could help at the moment
Here's a wee suggestion for eBay. I know this is a sellers' board, but, at times of great upheaval such as this, it would be immensely helpful if they could dedicate just one member of staff to constantly monitor these boards, and either correct, or ...

Has anyone else noticed lack of sales since the buyer protection update 4th february 2025. I used to sell quite a lot and virtually sold nothing since 4th Feb. Can anyone else relate to this and what can we do?
eBay UK are at a Crossroads
Anyone remember the end scene from that enchanting 2000 film, Castaway ? Chuck is standing at a Crossroads, and the decision he takes will dictate immediate future events. That's exactly where eBay UK is currently. In 5 years time, Business Schools w...

Getting a start price to show as £8.99
I don't seem to be able to get a start price of £8.99. It either shows as £8.98 or £9.00. Is this amount not possible with the added buyer fee, is it a glitch, or am I missing something glaringly obvious?
