i had ebay remove a neutral the other day because it said “great, thanks” and they gave me all 5 stars, never asked for a refund or even messaged me about any issues or at all. they said, ‘yeah that looks like a mistake, we’ll remove it’. so i’m thinking if you show that you offered a refund, and the person has a record of 50% neg/neutral feedback, that they’ll remove it. let us know!
this looks similar, and we’ve had some like this in the past and i’ve described it similarly.
those are cookies, ebay follows what you look at and will show you ads for things. so it’ not universal, it’s tailored to you.
that looks like the Santa Fe railway logo, might have something to do with some vintage promotional material–

i have been diligent about covering barcodes lately. right when i put a used box or bubble mailer in my shipping area, i just put a blank label over them. then i when i print my shipping label, it goes over that. hoping that’s opaque enough that the old codes don’t get scanned. i have seen other ebay sellers barely sharpie a label (one line through it).
we posted the podcast on Oct 29th, the markers sold on Nov 1st. we’ll probably mention it this week. ; )
i was pulling a piece of luggage from storage and i noticed no photos loading. i figured it was just one of my older ‘missing photos’ listings, but it was just that glitch. scary!
no we don’t enter a bogus tracking number or any tracking number, you don’t need to on a Local Pick up item. you can exchange addresses and phone numbers once the person has paid without issue.
yes, you are thinking about this correctly, i have two categories and at tax time i just ignore the “Ebay Fees” category that Go Daddy made and use the Ebay Fees Credit Card” category that I made. they should be very close to the same number, so you should be good.
i love the 1920s and 30s mesh metal pruses. i have one up for sale right now too.
one of our local thrift stores has rules about volunteers ‘shopping’ while sorting- it’s not allowed. we’ve asked the employee/volunteers if they ever find good stuff while sorting and they’re like, we aren’t allowed to put stuff aside, it all has to go out on the floor. so i think that’s a good policy. they can shop and pay for stuff as a customer when their shift is done.
yes i’ve had this issue when ending and “selling similar” items that are flagged older than 16 months as well. but i think instead of “sell similar” if you “relist” the ended items, it keeps your current quantity. i did a test of only 3 items ending them and relisting yesterday, wrote down my current qty and compared it to the relisted qty and it was correct. so i went ahead and ended and relisted all my 16 month old listings yesterday and they seem correct.
yes, ebay does not do a good job explaining to buyers or sellers what to do in this situation. i usually tell my buyers to contact ebay directly, but they usually open a case with me. so i do what you said in this thread. i don’t click any buttons on the return case, i just call.
