Honestly I think this is appropriate. It got to the point where if something decent popped up for auction, there was a good chance it was getting side-dealed away, even with bids in place. That's unfair to ebay, and that's the reason for the rule. That's also super frustrating as a user.
Your situation might be different, but they don't have anyway of knowing that. Once you list something on ebay, I don't think you're supposed to pull it anyway, even though they let you do it.
That is why they have initial and recurring (GTC) listing fees. So they are atleast guaranteed to cover their cost of displaying the item for the seller. Compare it to a bank. They have set fee schedules in place that they charge to the account holder monthly if they do not have enough money saved for the bank to turn a profit on the interest gained from investing the account holders savings. Now assume said bank all of a sudden decides they are going to start charging their customers $50 to close an account. Sound fair?
I think they did away with initial fees? I have some games at auction right now and afaik was not assessed any listing fees. And I thought they transitioned from bin listing fees to sale-only fees.
Can someone leave neutral feedback on eBay complaining about shipping when its the exact amount I paid to ship to them. I just got a neutral for the first time. I'm a bit disappointed because I received it for something I couldn't control. The buyer is from Canada and he states "Over Charged for shipping, it was a manual, granted in good shape but too much.". It cost him $9.55 to ship to Canada and it literally cost me $9.55 to post. I have no control on how much USPS charges to ship overseas and not to mention eBay sampled the total amount to the buyer before even agreeing to pay for the item. It's like he bought it knowing shipping was not to his liking but bought it anyway. Makes no sense to me but I guess there's nothing i can do, right?

no you wont be fine. they will tell you that they are sorry it happened. They know how you feel blah blah. Just blowing air. They cant do anything to help you. ebay doesnt care. Its the buyers opinion. Regardless of how ludicrous it is. Its bullshit and it sucks. That neutral is teh same as a negative in ebays eyes. It affects your defect rate the same. Sorry man. It happens and it sucks.

alot of times I pull listings because ebay glitches and it relists. Or I do an audit and realize I dont have 1 left in quantity after the second to last one sells. Or I pull something because I sold something and there is a problem the buyer has so I send another item. So I end the item early and send them a replacement. There are many more instances where something might get pulled. I might pull something I decide to combine with something else and sell it together. An ending item early fee is bullshit if its a BIN. Im paying them to list an item. I pay them for 30 days. Im not going into a 30 day contract stating I have leave it there. Its called good till cancelled. Meaning I can cancel. If I cancel early. I forfeit the insertion fee. This was the whole point of insertion fees in the fist place.
serious question: are you sure about that? (assuming it doesn't sell)

Ive just looked over the terms. I dont see anywhere where you are mandated to leave a BIN listing for that long. Just looked over the fee section on ebay and cant find anywhere where a BIN pull results in a fee.
"From looking through the packaging looks to be what my grandson wanted. I can't wait to give it to him Christmas. Hopefully, it works well for I won't know until then. "
>.< great, now i gotta wait for a claim in dec lol
sold a TMNT plug n' play device - still sealed/new
sent it out in a box, and I would think they took it out of the box to see it... o.o

There are 4 reasons you are allowed to pull buy it nows
Item is lost or broken
Error in the listing
Error in Price
Item is no longer availible for sale
The fee thing only applies to auction listings IF it has a bid on it. The reason for the fee is so buyers are not disappointed. There is no fee for ending a fixed price listing. Additionally sellers are allowed to end 1 auction style listing per calender year without a fee
if you contact ebay and prove the feedback is false, you'll be fine.
Which receipt? I ship most my items straight through eBay so I never go to the post. Unless your talking about the "Online Label Record" that prints along with the label because I always hang on to those.

This is more along the lines of what I thought was going to happen. Doesn't make any sense though does it? Like it's a really all common sense than it is based on opinion.
as long as you've got proof of the cost of shipping, that should help.
Simply talked with the buyer and he agreed to change to positive feedback. Granted he still left the feedback saying I over charged but at least I don't have a neutral. Very reasonable if you ask me but I'm not 100% content considering I had no control over the reason he had a complaint.

Still a defect on the transaction though
It's better than a neutral though.
For me its no different. I dont care about the actual neutral or negative comment. People who have any sense wouldnt take it seriously. I always put something under it. I care that it affects my account more as a defect.

I don't know man. I had them remove feedback like that and clear the defect.
Buyer left me a neg for over charging them for shipping (IIRC it was something heavy I charged like a flat $25 for and ended up spending more to ship it) and it was taken care of.

Had a person leave bad feedback for not receiving something. Then tell me whoops they did get it after sll. They were out of town and it got there in 2 days and there neighbor was taking care of their mail. Basically it got there so fast thry didnt realize it. They revise their feedback to positive. I call ebay. Defect still stood.
Had ebay cancel a transaction because they found out the buyer was fraudulent before i shipped it. Checked my defects and ebay had a defect for a cancelled transaction even though they cancelled it. Defect still stood. They wouldnt remove it.
Am I delusional or has one person continued to post an ad for the same gaming chair on my Baltimore Craigslist for four years? Have any of you out there seen a demand for these? I could imagine if it was a custom-built boomerang chair with quad-speakers, maybe.
(Fun fact, I used to have a wobble chair myself before I discovered that it was easier just to lay on the floor)
Got an order in from goHastings through Amazon for a Wii U game advertised as new. Apparently they use the same loose definition of new that Gamestop uses. If the damn thing is open, then it's not new. It's not that hard of a concept. At least they will let me return it. Edit.. Just looked at the return instructions, they wanted me to pay return shipping and eat the $4.00 shipping charge they charged me. So called them back again and got them to include a prepaid label and will refund the full amount. I do like that their disclaimer on their return policy states "All items must be in the original unopened packaging..." So asinine of places to do crap like this.

Not a rant, but every once in a while I get strange messages about items on Ebay. Today was one of those days:
Dear armageddonpotato,
hello, J received the console parcel packed very well niquel, on the other hand exuser me but you say in L announces produced to test but the console S does not light!! then is what that comes from the transformer or the console? really very disappointed!! in L your answer makes an attempt thank you.

Sounds like it was run through a translator. Very odd! Sounds like he is saying that it won't turn on?
This should be a new topic, but eBay changed their mind about forcing eBay sellers to use 60 day return policies during the holidays. Previously you'd lose your Top-Rated Seller status if you didn't comply, now you simply get an extra 5% off fees if you decide to opt in.
"I'm writing to let you know that eBay will not require extended holiday returns for your listings to earn Top Rated Plus benefits in November and December--including the 20% final value fee discount--as previously announced.
Instead, you'll get a bonus 5% discount off final value fees--along with your current 20% discount--from November 1 through December 31 for all your eligible Top Rated Plus listings that offer extended holiday returns."
I'm sure enough sellers griped that eBay actually listened. See, all corporations are not the devil.

Or maybe they still are the devil and realized they lose more money by doing the extended returns and sellers leaving ebay. Ebay never does anything to benefit anyone else. Alwasys another motive
The Goodwill closest to where I live raised their game prices from $1.99 to $4.99 today, bleh...I can see their shelves filling up with PS2 games that aren't going to sell in the coming months...
My biggest gripe with sellers on Amazon is that almost nobody knows how to "grade" a video game condition. I mean, okay, you don't need to give it an exact point grade but there is a HUGE difference between "acceptable" and "like new" yet many sellers put "like new" or "very good" with NO pics supplied or even a detailed description. I used to order on Amazon exclusively for a few years and I kept buying "like new" games that I would receive in garbage condition. I've even gotten some nasty emails when I asked for a refund and called them out on their false advertising. So about a year ago I switched exclusively to eBay and haven't had this problem since, since I only buy when the games have good pictures. I tried Amazon again recently and yet again got a crappy copy of a game listed as "like new". I can't be the only one who's experienced this.
One thing that kinda bothers me is when someone lists an iten for auction only, but they start the auction out at about 10% higher for what the average going rate for what that game may be. Whats the point? Put a fricken BIN on there!
So i just got a return request on ebay. I am not opted in to Hassle free returns. WTF?!?!?!
I think I get a defect now because the person just didnt simply message me first. Ebay is tricking buyers into doing all these things to get a defect for the seller. their shady piece of shit company needs to die. Oh my god I am so sick of their bullshit. a 4 dollar item is going to lead to a defect. god damnit.
Yet another renege from an ebay seller today. With yet another lame excuse. I have gotten five of these this year. My favorite was where the person "dropped" the set of games (it was a combination game set in a briefcase) down a set of basement stairs and it was destroyed. When I offered to buy the parts (which is what I was after to begin with) she said she couldn't be bothered to retrieve them from the water. Was I dealing with Noah and his wife here?

alot of times I pull listings because ebay glitches and it relists. Or I do an audit and realize I dont have 1 left in quantity after the second to last one sells. Or I pull something because I sold something and there is a problem the buyer has so I send another item. So I end the item early and send them a replacement. There are many more instances where something might get pulled. I might pull something I decide to combine with something else and sell it together. An ending item early fee is bullshit if its a BIN. Im paying them to list an item. I pay them for 30 days. Im not going into a 30 day contract stating I have leave it there. Its called good till cancelled. Meaning I can cancel. If I cancel early. I forfeit the insertion fee. This was the whole point of insertion fees in the fist place.
serious question: are you sure about that? (assuming it doesn't sell)

For me its no different. I dont care about the actual neutral or negative comment. People who have any sense wouldnt take it seriously. I always put something under it. I care that it affects my account more as a defect.

Can someone leave neutral feedback on eBay complaining about shipping when its the exact amount I paid to ship to them. I just got a neutral for the first time. I'm a bit disappointed because I received it for something I couldn't control. The buyer is from Canada and he states "Over Charged for shipping, it was a manual, granted in good shape but too much.". It cost him $9.55 to ship to Canada and it literally cost me $9.55 to post. I have no control on how much USPS charges to ship overseas and not to mention eBay sampled the total amount to the buyer before even agreeing to pay for the item. It's like he bought it knowing shipping was not to his liking but bought it anyway. Makes no sense to me but I guess there's nothing i can do, right?
no you wont be fine. they will tell you that they are sorry it happened. They know how you feel blah blah. Just blowing air. They cant do anything to help you. ebay doesnt care. Its the buyers opinion. Regardless of how ludicrous it is. Its bullshit and it sucks. That neutral is teh same as a negative in ebays eyes. It affects your defect rate the same. Sorry man. It happens and it sucks.
I don't know man. I had them remove feedback like that and clear the defect.
Buyer left me a neg for over charging them for shipping (IIRC it was something heavy I charged like a flat $25 for and ended up spending more to ship it) and it was taken care of.

Had a person leave bad feedback for not receiving something. Then tell me whoops they did get it after sll. They were out of town and it got there in 2 days and there neighbor was taking care of their mail. Basically it got there so fast thry didnt realize it. They revise their feedback to positive. I call ebay. Defect still stood.
Had ebay cancel a transaction because they found out the buyer was fraudulent before i shipped it. Checked my defects and ebay had a defect for a cancelled transaction even though they cancelled it. Defect still stood. They wouldnt remove it.
(Fun fact, I used to have a wobble chair myself before I discovered that it was easier just to lay on the floor)
Castlevania - $30
Mario's Time Machine - $60
Mega Man 5 - $95
Sigh...

Got an order in from goHastings through Amazon for a Wii U game advertised as new. Apparently they use the same loose definition of new that Gamestop uses. If the damn thing is open, then it's not new. It's not that hard of a concept. At least they will let me return it. Edit.. Just looked at the return instructions, they wanted me to pay return shipping and eat the $4.00 shipping charge they charged me. So called them back again and got them to include a prepaid label and will refund the full amount. I do like that their disclaimer on their return policy states "All items must be in the original unopened packaging..." So asinine of places to do crap like this.
lol unopened packaging. What losers.

Not a rant, but every once in a while I get strange messages about items on Ebay. Today was one of those days:

Sounds like it was run through a translator. Very odd! Sounds like he is saying that it won't turn on?
"I'm writing to let you know that eBay will not require extended holiday returns for your listings to earn Top Rated Plus benefits in November and December--including the 20% final value fee discount--as previously announced.
Instead, you'll get a bonus 5% discount off final value fees--along with your current 20% discount--from November 1 through December 31 for all your eligible Top Rated Plus listings that offer extended holiday returns."
I'm sure enough sellers griped that eBay actually listened. See, all corporations are not the devil.

This should be a new topic, but eBay changed their mind about forcing eBay sellers to use 60 day return policies during the holidays. Previously you'd lose your Top-Rated Seller status if you didn't comply, now you simply get an extra 5% off fees if you decide to opt in.

Or maybe they still are the devil and realized they lose more money by doing the extended returns and sellers leaving ebay. Ebay never does anything to benefit anyone else. Alwasys another motive
I think I get a defect now because the person just didnt simply message me first. Ebay is tricking buyers into doing all these things to get a defect for the seller. their shady piece of shit company needs to die. Oh my god I am so sick of their bullshit. a 4 dollar item is going to lead to a defect. god damnit.
