I hit post, and as I was walking into the coffee shop I realized it was either going to be another TWSS, or something along those lines. Well played.

I'm getting this message while creating Fixed Price listings now...

Relist your listing

• To help you sell your item, fixed price listings can only be listed with a Good 'Til Cancelled duration. The listing duration has been set to Good 'Til Cancelled.

...sure don't remember getting an email with a heads up

edit: damn, they did tell us Feb 26. Hate it

This was already brought up here: #39276 and discussed (briefly) in the proceeding posts.

Another one of eBay's "brilliant" ideas to "help" it's "partners" (us).

I always wished that Capaldi had played Doctor Who as if he was Malcolm, tearing strips off his assistants foe leaving the Tardis, and effing and blinding cybermen into submission. I would have watched that.

Fee? Fee? What the hell, man. What ‘fee’?

So I’ve got like 20 feedback now, I sell a jacket for $230, and they put my money on hold, same as when I sold my first item. When they release it, $7 is missing — listed only as ‘fee’.

What is this fee? I’m already paying their 7-8% blood money.

I would call, but I swear that every web site uses the same woman, a perky but useless Philippine national spouting grief and platitudes.

I'm guessing the Paypal fee @noob in 89 ?

PayPal takes 2.9% plus $0.30 fee on each transaction.

EDIT — Oh, OK. Hope that’s right. That would be about the fee amount.

Threw me because it was listed by eBay, not PayPal. Thanks.

For the blocked list: johnnycakes86

...has been buying items off of me for the last month, last night opened 13 return cases, all for items he had left positive feedback for. Reasons for return (not as described condition issues) all contradicting his feedback comments. I'm currently on the phone with ebay with a good representative, with a SR open. It looks like they might be doing something this time, due to the large number of returns at once showing remorse - its been escalated to the Trust team already

Sounds like he's regretting his credit card bill. Chargeback fight will be next "unauthorized purchases". That's some bullshit right there.

Any particular brand in mind?

 

[rhz5001]

Nope any random brand sets will work. I’m a pack rat and somehow don’t have any full sets around.

Any thoughts about pricing this Charvet Egyptian cotton robe? I suppose it's the kind of thing that maybe, might, perhaps do well at auction, but every time I've tried that lately it's been, let's say, underwhelming (TWSS). No comps anywhere that I can see.
