eBay

Hi guys,  I do keep checking back every so often but nothing new on the subject lately so just thought I would see if anyone knew if eBay are introducing micropayment like I currently have with PayPal ... all my items are 99p and 99p postage and if I change over to the eBay managed fees I would be out of pocket so would need to close my shop.  I’m being forced to accept eBay managed fees in March so it does give me some time to set up an Etsy shop in the meantime just in case .... anyone else in this position ? ...

Can anyone advise on how to deal with time wasters that buy items and then don't pick them up.  I have given a customer repeated chances to come and get them over the last week or so and each time they have mDe arrangements then let me down and finallly today they said they were coming at 2pm they didnt come so 2.30 I messaged they said would be there soon at 3pm i mesgd and said I had to go out they said afew safe minutes away  It got to 4pm I messaged them said they were now 2 hours late  I told them I was cancelling the order.  Am I being unreasonable.  No option on Ebay cancellation process for seller to cancel due to the buyer being awkward and rude its all geared towards buyers not sellers who pay postage nothing for transactions for sellers with big/heavy/fragile  items that need to be collected.  No option for cancelling due to customer being a time waster !! They were getting a whole box of toy cars for 99p for goodness sake.  So peed off. ... View more

Hi   Need some advice here please. I sold a necklace back in November. The buyer contacted me two weeks ago to say they hadn’t received the item 3 months later! I sent it a short had proof of postage but as it was so long ago I hadn’t kept it. I was so shocked to get this after 3 months I did some digging online. I found this persons Facebook account and she was WEARING THE NECKLACE in her profile picture.   She has now submitted a chargeback and £83 has been taken from my account. PayPal have also said they will be taking a £14 charge for the transaction.   She will not reply to my messages and PayPal are saying it isn’t up to them as it sits with their bank, they will not give me the name of the bank and they will not give the bank my details either.   Am I really just having to take the hit on this?   ...

Afternoon guys! I wonder if someone could explain the following to me:   So I've been selling on eBay for a number of years, it's always been set up to be invoiced per month which was collected via PayPal, until recently when I changed with the times and had my payouts go straight to my bank. I've never been charged (by eBay) more than about £8 maybe as I don't sell great amounts, never more than my private seller allowances and only ever Buy It Now as an upgrade, I don't see these being charged though, nothing tells me I'm accepting that fee when I submit the listing? I think I currently have 4 items with a BIN. I fully understand there are eBay seller fees and PayPal fees, whilst these were still applicable.   So since setting up the new payout method last month, I've had one invoice from mid Dec-Jan, 0.61p, which wasn't deducted since it was below the minimum fee, and another invoice for Jan-Feb at £2.27 (to be paid Mar). I think I've sold three (auction) items in this time, all of which had the relevant fees deducted before my payouts were processed. Obviously since PayPal are no longer being used to process this payout, I'm surely only paying for eBay fees per sale, so why am I getting an invoice as well? I expect to pay the Dec fee the next month assuming I made a sale to cover the min fee, which I did, yet I'm now due to pay over £2 when I've already paid the fees on these items? Why have they not just taken the 61p since it was accrued before I changed payout methods?   Also, since I don't appear to be paying for the BIN items, at least I didn't when I listed them, do these get charged per month even if they don't sell? They automatically relist but this doesn't make sense as the fee last month was only 61p, these would be more than that if they were charging me.   In short, I want to know 1) why am I having deductions for sold items as well as a monthly sellers invoice and 2) is Buy It Now still an upgrade and do these get charged per (re)listing when they don't sell?   Thank you!! Sorry it's long! ... View more

There is a very large problem with scalpers using modern technology to purchase all of the stock and then list on this website at a higher price. It is even being discussed in parliament (as I'm sure eBay are aware) regarding the laws surrounding this. eBay need to put measures in place to protect people from scalpers despicably preying on the desperate and acting as gatekeepers standing in the way of people buying limited stock products (due to current and unavoidable events) at the proper price.   The biggest and most current example that's now sparked the law debates is of course: the PlayStation 5.   eBay need to acknowledge this publicly and put measures in place to deter/prevent people from scalping, and if they could do this sooner rather than later they could really become heroes to the public who just want to buy something they seek at a fair price without some douche stepping in front of them in a queue to buy everything and then turning round and demanding they pay him more to get the product from him instead, or go without. If not they may just be forced to by law anyway, and be left with a more negative image, that they did not give a toss about their consumers being ripped off as long as they receive their cut, which let's be honest, is not a good look and could seriously damage them as a company.   So essentially, do eBay want to be pandemic heroes to people who just want to play their way through until it's over, or be associated by complacency with scalping villains?  ...

I have received notification from Ebay that the jeans I listed this morning were sold and I am awaiting payment, I received an email from Paypal.co.uk. and upon investigation, found that the email stating I have been paid was fraud. I called Paypal and they advised that they have not sent me an email, and that I have not been paid.   What do I now do about my item that is' supposedly' sold on Ebay when in fact it hasn't been sold? ...
