Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

[clothesgamesmisc]

$25 up the behind for me. Buyer opens doesnt fit (I regret turning those on a month or so ago). I accept. Wait 8 days patiently and then call and close. And now I have a PayPal claim against me. Called PayPal to let them know the buyer didn't return the item, and they were trying to tell me to refund the buyer. **** PayPal. Seriously. Going to fight this one on principal. 8 days and you don't return the item? Come on, lazy or trying to get a free item.

Oh, and I can't list for 3 days because I gave a buyer a piece of my mind when he called me a bad seller. Oops. Happy ebaying y'all.

Ebay suspended me for 3 days because I used a naughty word. I blame the lack of caffeine and the fact that I quit smoking a few days ago. Totally my fault.

You sure that you didn't take Ambien? I hear that it can cause you to say things that you don't mean.

Pretty sure I'm just a bit nuts and have a loud mouth sometimes. I also hate it when some random buyer is calling me a bad seller and telling me how to run my shop and not wanting his $20 sale means I'm a bad seller. lol

The thing about ebay is that is plenty of customers like there are plenty of sellers, but I agree with you in eBay trying to mold into the Amazon customer service.
I just spend almost 3000 $ in some seller Italy, and my items have not arrived yet, is two weeks almost, and the seller has not updated the status of when he will ship them.He did first, now all of sudden is gone which is confusing me a lot, also it was shipped with notorious Italian mail. When I asked him, he said they where shipped without providing anything else. I'm hoping they wont get "lost" on the way or here with our ****** USPS service, and happens that I'm leaving soon for business trip [and I have told this guy before making my purchase how things where], or something else and having to deal with bs and headaches. The seller has 100% positive sales and no negatives reviews, has 5000 sales plus, same is for me as a buyer I have 100% positive transactions, so I'm willing to wait and be respectful and give the benefit of doubt before dealing with ebay, but is f stressing me out. Why the guy has not used a more secure and reliable secure mail service just don't get it, when I'm spending 3000, it will cost him far more if they get lost, and why the status disappeared.
So there you have it goes both ways.

It appears the shoes in the size per this sale do not fit me - they are too large

Sure, but you are open to a negative feedback (might get it removed if he says he is unhappy that you did not accept the return) + they can go to paypal and open a return + they can go to their cc company or bank and file a chargeback (and with a chargeback the cc company does not make them return the item usually)

Yeah very true. It's for a pair of G&Gs so I'm probably going to take return as I don't want to be out the shoes and money. Damn zero feedback buyers

Hey guys,
I sold an item, selected calculated shipping. I thought that meant the charge to customer would be dependent on their address. After sending a payment reminder, I get a message saying I need to include a shipping charge on the item so the guy can pay.
1. I can't for the life on me see where I am supposed to submit this cost and send the invoice?
2. Is this normal? I thought I was selecting the option that would just calculate a shipping cost based on the package info I provided in my listing and it would be charged along with item price to the buyer.
Sorry for the stupid questions, I'm definitely a brick & mortar type I suppose.

Did your listing have the package details filled out (dimensions and weight)? If so, did you make sure to have the shipping option selected for each section? (ex. Local country, international?). Where from and to was it going to? Some international destinations it can't figure it out automatically, so it defaults to a "contact seller for shipping" option, if you didn't specify.
