Has anyone else noticed a 'boost' overlay on some of their listings if they see them in a search?

I just noticed this and honestly have no idea why it's being marketed at me, I've never, nor would I ever, use any kind of promoted listings system. There's a couple of reasons, the first is the recent changes to the promoted listings policy seem to ...

'Simple Delivery' failed, now a test case - worried

Private Seller here, I sold a gold sovereign for £590 on ebay and was forced to use "Simple Delivery" as you all know. Both ebay and RM tracking show it as delivered, RM say they left it in a safe place and uploaded a photo. Seller says package has g...

New postage policy seems a bit dodgy...

Anyone else find the ‘new’ postage process for sellers frustrating and a bit suspicious? Specifically: Ebay now require sellers to select the postage service during the listing and only allow them to use that postage service once the item has sold. T...

Ebay sales non existent under new conditions.

Been on Ebay 20 years and it was a great way to finance my holidays and little luxuries. I did well and met some lovely people who bought my items. Now sadly it all seems to be finished - no sales for the last 3 months, totally unheard of in the past...

Buyer Protection Fee Woes

I see the Buyer Protection Fee has been added to our items for sale (not for the toys category yet). I know that if someone opens a not-received case for an item and then rings Ebay, that Ebay will often refund them out of their own pocket. Thus enco...
