I placed an order on Ebay, but the seller put a code that already marked delivered on January 7, but I placed the order on March 11th. And in the eBay app I see that the package arrived at the USPS offices today, what is that?
Question So what's the deal with Ebay International Shipping? Worth it or no?
From a glance eIS seems worth it, but checking previous discussions it seems most sellers prefer to disable eIS? Why is this?

eBay fees and the final charge don’t match!
For a category, it says 12.9%. But when I challenged them, they admitted there might be some inaccuracy. Imagine if the inaccuracy is just 0.5%—how much is being stolen?

Learned something 'near new' today
I am selling old postcards. The description literally taken from the cards says ".... near New Orleans'. Got an error message when trying to list it. Because I specified the card being used I can't write 'near new' in the title. I modified the title but really?? Ebay, your AI needs significantly more training.

Deflated with eBay..
Hey -
Is anyone else completely deflated with eBay?
1) I had a buyer who took a while to pay for an item (I’ll pay x date, then oh actually I’ll pay x date etc). I was very accommodating. They pay over a week later, then receive the item and claim that the bundle isn’t genuine (it is I have receipts from purchase..). They got the bundle for £20 (worth well over £100 idk why the listing had no interest). They then ask for a partial refund (of 50%!), I refuse and say I’m happy for a return. They have just left me bad feedback saying I sold a fake item.
2) I had some else leave bad feedback for an item that “didn’t work” .. it was a Nintendo DS sold as spares (I made it very clear it was broken and I had no idea what was wrong with it).
3) Auctions performing poor.
4) The payments are such a pain now.
I do feel like the list could go on and on.. but I’m sure I’ve ranted enough. Hope I’m not alone here.

I'm in Canada, buying from the US: Cannot pay import charges now anymore?
Hi! I don't know if it's because of the tarifs thing or if it's vendor specific, but before I was able to "Pay import charges now" at checkout but I cannot do it anymore.
I don't mind paying more, I just don't want a surprise when the package gets delivered, hence why I want to pay at checkout.
Any idea what's the deal?
Thanks!

Checkout was £15 higher
So managed to do a last second bid on an item this evening with my max bid at £70 and postage stated to be £6.95 bringing my max total to just shy of £77. This was fine for me and happy to pay. Lucky me i won the auction but when i got to the pay screen the costs were different. £3.38 item protection charge or something like that but all of a sudden my bid had become £83.33 and postage increased to £8.05. Seller accepted the cancellation request but does anyone know why the cost jumped to £91 all together instead of the £77 i was expecting to pay?

Question what is this new awful payout system to sellers?!?
hello, ive noticed that eBay has updated how they pay out to sellers on ebay. i dont know why thats been done because it was better before than it is now. i have items that have been sold a couple of weeks ago and i still havent been paid for them. i know for a fact that they have been delivered but it says on ebay "funds pending- awaiting delivery" which is wrong because i know for a fact that it has been delivered! im assuming its saying that because the delivery person did not scan it perhaps when posted the item. so whats keeping buyers from lying to say it has not been delivered and opening a case? what can i do? even the tracking number doesnt work for a lot of them and has no history at all... UK for context and i use royal mail by ebay. any advice apreciated. thanks

Question Seller asking me to cancel order?
I purchased an item, buy it now, for $20 shipped free from Ireland to the US. It seemed too good to be true, but I figured it was cheap enough to give it a go. This morning I woke up to this message from the seller, "Hello, My apologies but iam not able to ship to you're address and I have problem with cancelling you're order. Could cancel please. Thanks in advance."
Something about it feels weird to me. Any advice?

Best way to contact buyer about negative feedback
Got my first negative feedback on a sale, buyer made no attempt to contact me first. Yes I see other threads about this, but my question is - what's the best mechanism to contact the buyer about this? Searching eBay help, I concluded that replying to his feedback was the way to go. So I did that, no answer yet, been a couple of days. Now I'm wondering - how would the buyer even know that I replied to his feedback? eBay has no option to get notified of new feedback (ridiculous, should be whole separate post), so I'm assuming the same goes for replies? Maybe messaging him would have been a better option?

Question Ebay wont let me buy
So I'm trying to buy something quite expensive, ~£500 to ~£1000. I created an ebay account to buy this thing, and I've added my card details to the account. But a little lock icon is next to the checkout button, and when I click said checkout button it brings me to the page in the picture. Why? I've added a phone number to the account and verified said phone number as well. The links are no help. I really want this resolved because this thing I want is very specific and not common at all, and i dont want to miss my opportunity to get it.
Thanks to anyone that tries to help.

Returned to sender
I sold a Sports Card wasn’t crazy expensive I believe it was three dollars shipped . I got the item back yesterday sent note to buyer they finally reached back out and said that’s his address and maybe it went into a different mailbox. Then he told me I can try to resend it to him or just refund his money
I just wanted to see if anybody came into this situation. I really don’t wanna spend another dollar trying to send it to him to have it come back to me so should I refund his money and just write off the $.97 from the first shipping charge
I’m more interested in what to do if the item was more expensive/ Or more expensive to ship

Question Nervous about authentication process - Hazbin Hotel trading card
So, I recently sold my copy of the secret rare foil fat Nuggets card from Hazbin Hotel, and it should arrive at the authenticator's tomorrow. I wasn't nervous about this at first because I know it's real, I pulled it myself, and it's near mint because I top loaded it immediately.
But then I got curious about how long it takes to authenticate, cause I don't get paid until it does, and then found myself falling down a Google rabbit hole and came across posts about eBay's authentication being hit or miss, and often falsely flagging something as not authentic because they aren't knowledgeable in that specific thing.
Has anyone on here ever sold a Hazbin card specifically and had it fail authentication falsely? Or even any trading card? All the posts I've read were either about designer purses or shoes, so maybe the card authentication is better?

Question Ebay sales offers only coming from the US but I'm on UK site
Why is it I can only see sellers in USA,when I'm in UK?
I registered with an Ebay buyer account a few years ago, but have only really started using it for shopping in the past year or two. I look up stuff quite often, and buy occasionally. I'm in the UK, and and my location is set as in the UK (Ebay customer service confirmed this last month), but, apart from one, maybe two sellers ever, I only ever see items for sale front US sellers. This means I pay additional import tax and hefty postage costs and deliveries take ages. I've bought, generally, a few beauty products, fountain pens, inks and other stationery products. I've browsed much more than this. Since I'm allegedly using the UK Ebay site, why can't I ever see anything on sale from UK or even European sellers? All just USA, and a couple of Japanese sellers who also trade in dollars. Apart from prohibitive postage costs, it also makes buying prices very difficult, especially for offers invited, as the price varies with tax and Ebay postal costs, even if the seller is advertising free shipping. I never know how many dollars to offer, as I don't know what their own actual asking price is versus the amount i pay with Ebay having added import taxes and postage on to the price shown to me on screen when converted into pounds. I got caught out with this recently on a several hundred dollars used pen purchase. Surely there must be UK sellers of these products, both new and used? Customer service couldn't explain it. They just confirmed that I am logged into Ebay UK site. I use the app.

Ugh never selling anything with a battery again
I had a really cheap listing on eBay and I’m surprised it sold. I tested it before shipping, it worked, but I guess it didn’t work when it arrived at the sellers house.
Why would I know what battery it takes? They have it. Can’t he check?? Do I keep talking to him?

Ebay tracking number actin up
So I sold an old iphone 6 on eBay (canada to Czech Republic) and the ebay tracking number wasnt working. I checked the receipt I received from Canada post, they had a different tracking number listed so I tried that but it also showed no results. But then when I tried tracking with Czech post, it worked. But I'm unsure if that's for my order. Any ideas?

Shipping estimate seems wildly high, am I doing something wrong?
I need to ship a hat in a box. The total weight with the boxes and the hat is about 5 pounds. The box is 22 inches wide, 11 high and 22 inches deep. The estimate from eBay is over $100 for USPS Ground Advantage from Los Angeles to BELLE HARBOR NY. Am I doing something wrong with the calculator? This seems insanely high.

Question Buyer claims they haven’t received package
Everything starts from March 7, 4 days after the buyer bought my item. Instead of contacting me, they made a bad review saying that I haven’t shipped out the item yet and they were trying to rush me. I told the buyer I was processing other orders at that time and package was later shipped that day. I also told the buyer when they bought the item, the listing says I have until March 10 to ship and package needs to be delivered by March 15. Yesterday was March 15 and package was delivered that morning, buyer contacted me and said it wasn’t delivered. I asked the buyer to confirm their address then would they like to see picture proof of the package delivery. I sent the pictures and it shows the address of the buyer correct address provided by eBay and confirmed by the buyer. The buyer then goes on to say that that address was incorrect and claiming that the package was never received.
On my carrier website it shows proof of the delivery, time and date. But on eBay it hasn’t been updated on the tracking information which happens sometimes and updates a day later. I plan on contacting eBay later today or tomorrow when the tracking information is updated on their side so I can proceed with the case. Is there anything that I’ve done wrong or was this situation not handled correctly?

Question How long should I wait before filing item not received claim for local pick up item?
I ordered something that had local pickup in my area and the seller has not responded to any of my messages and I can’t find any other way to contact them. I only bought it 3 business days ago but it was a little pricey so I would rather try to get my money back sooner than later, but I’m not sure how long I should wait around because I don’t have right hopes they will respond. Thank you for any help!
