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...

Resolved! Unsold items

How long do a list of Unsold Items stay in the list? I had to stop selling due to illness so ended them all, but wondered how long they'd stay in the list before disappearing.

More RM Tracking issues , Seller contacted me.

Had a seller contact me today asking me to mark an item as recived so they can get paid out, the item arrived probably over a week or more ago. But the RM tracking does not show it as delivered. I can't do anything to help the seller. Ebay need to so...
