Wow, you are very efficient at listing. I know how to do templates on the ebay website on my computer and I see now how to scan barcodes on the app on my phone, but I can’t seem to figure out how to use a template on my phone app. Are you doing the templates and barcode scanning on the phone app or do you have a barcode scanner hooked up to your computer? Thanks!

Nice that these finally sold. I can definitely see a restaurant using these for decor for their restrooms.
I haven’t run a traffic report, but just from eye-balling the listing views with the new updates, many of my listings have 0 views. Still having about typical number of sales for me, though maybe a little slow. Still, seeing so many listings with 0 views will take getting used to! It does make the listings that attract attention stand out so maybe this will be a learning for fine-tuning my sourcing.
The custom label field is there for me–maybe eBay fixed that. The prices still vanish. They are visible on the Draft overview page with all of the drafts but when I go to resume draft, the price vanishes from the draft and even if I cancel making changes and go back to the Draft overview page, the price is zeroed out.
I also miss the feature from the old listing tool where item specifics were recommended and could be selected easily with one click. Now there are lots of drop down lists and more clicks needed.
I also have a parcel select package right now that is stuck in Memphis since the 22nd. Buyer has been messaging me and I’m trying to ask them to be patient. None of my other packages have been delayed much lately. Something must be going on at the Memphis location
Thank you for your reply. At least it is nice to know that I’m not the only one finding that numbers don’t match across eBay’s statements!
I used to live in the South and mostly sourced from thrift stores. Prices were reasonable, usually $5-6 flat rate for a pair of shoes (or jeans or other clothing) with frequent 50% sales so usually only $2-3 per item. Good hard goods were harder to find at these thrift stores but sometimes found a few things. I also went to some garage-sales but prices weren’t always good and competition was fierce –by 10AM most everything good was gone. Then I moved west and thrift stores have insanely high prices on shoes, $14.99 on the usual low end with some at $49.99 per pair. But garage sales are often crazy cheap and often have free piles with good stuff–and it is much more leisurely, with good stuff even on day 2 of most garage sales.
I wonder if the thrift stores I used to go to now have changed their pricing like Retro describes above.
Somewhat related is I had a buyer request to cancel after paying but before I shipped. Which was fine but eBay relisted it twice. I had the box checked for eBay to relist on the cancel page and I didn’t do anything to relist so eBay relisted it twice. Fortunately I noticed two identical listing at the top of my actives and deleted the extra.
Retro–you are correct that eBay refunded the buyer still even though it was closed in my favor. So ebay made both of us whole.
This worked out. I called back today (3 business days) like rep told me last week since today was the day the case could be closed, and talked to ebay rep (voice sounded like person I talked to last week). It was closed in my favor.
IndySales–thanks for the advice about getting a case number. I called back and the rep gave me a case number and also double checked that he agreed it was a false INAD. He said he put documentation that it was a false claim in the case and that it would be 3 business days until eBay would act and to call back then. No message/e-mail about the case. Fingers crossed that there actually is a case with documentation.
I just got a false Not as Described return request and didn’t realize it was Global Shipping and clicked to accept the return. The next page about buying a label clued me in that it was Global Shipping. I called eBay and the representative agreed it was a false claim (I listed as size US 10 which matched the photo of the label and buyer was claiming not as described since it seemed smaller than a size 10 to them). I’m not actually sure what is happening next. While I was waiting on the eBay rep, I was reading this thread about needing the buyer to open a claim, so I asked the eBay rep about that and she said a claim was already open with the return request. She said it would take 6 days for this to be resolved. I haven’t always had good experience with ebay phone reps following through so I am apprehensive. Chat wasn’t available so I had to phone so wasn’t able to get a transcript.
