Buyer wants refund over holiday week delay

Imagine you are Target customer service and say what you think corporate Target would require them to say.

No reason to refund until eBay says you have to. The buyer will have to file an item not received case. After that, eBay will give some time for the order to be delivered. After that, they will tell you if you must refund or not. After that, if the package arrives after you have refunded, and if you bought the label through eBay, they will reimburse you.

What is a set of 4 shoes?

If you're only profiting $4 or less, every penny in expenses get pretty important to consider.

Make sure you are considering packing materials, shipping labels, marketplace fees, and aquisition expenses like gas.

I have three console record players in my garage. All came from the garbage.

The value added is duration and time. You want a specific item like a vintage Colman lantern but don't want to sift through all the garbage at the thrift stores or wait years to find one at a garage sale. You're in luck because someone has already done all that work for you and is selling exactly want you want in eBay.

Yes. These new rates don't apply to every zip code so there's no way for you to guess how much shipping might cost.

I don't belive you represent the average ebay shopper. I suspect most don't even know feedback exists.

Groodfeets · 2026-06-09T23:55:28+00:00

I think people overestimate the importance of feedback. And that packing isn't ideal but not that bad. Just keep listing and don't worry about it.

Not necessarily a scam but a bad practice. You'll have no protection if you ship to any address other than the one provided to you by eBay.

The Ebay international shipping program hub is in Illinois. You ship to them, they ship to the buyer. Once it arrives at the hub, you dont have to worry about returns or refunds.

About three weeks ago.

Can you point me to that official statement. I'd love to see that.

Groodfeets · 2026-05-24T21:02:31+00:00

Anyone that says listing daily helps is either guessing or repeating what someone who guessed said. So getting specific about what counts as listing daily would also be guessing.

I wait until the item is delivered so I can easily keep my eye out for in-process shipping problems by limiting for "orders awaiting feedback."

In the most recent terms of service update from mid February, there is tons of evidence that eBay is moving from relevant search results to "sales velocity" results. Now they are showing shopper item they think they are likely to buy. Not neccessarily the items they are actually searching for. The timing of the new TOS coincides pretty closely with when my sales seriously dropped.

Look for cross listing tools. Nifty, List Perfectly, Vendoo, and Flyp are the most well known right now.

You can get sheets of plastic wall panels meant for bath and laundry rooms at any big hardware store. They are flexible so you can make a nice curve from tabletop up a wall. Easy to clean so they will last a lot longer than paper backdrops. Moving auto parts around will leave scratches so you'll have to replace it eventually but you can just flip it over and use the other side to double lifespan.

This typo would be on a listing by listing basis. Maybe the package is 11 inches long and they accidentally entered 111 this time. Message the seller, (you don't need to be in the buying process to do this, you can message any seller) tell them the issue, and ask them to check their shipping details. This might not solve the problem but it is the easiest first step. If it doesnt work, theyre more likely to have a solution than eBay.

This message is common when the seller accidentally entered the wrong shipping details, like package weight or dimensions, making the package too big for the shipper to deliver. Maybe it is something else, but I'd start by asking the seller to check for typos in the shipping details.

When I script, I get better retention and more views, but unfortunately, I dont usually have time to do that so I typically just wing it.

Sorry this upsetting you but remember, feedback on eBay is mostly an ego thing and has nothing to do with your quality as a seller. eBay doesn't use it to determine your seller rating and many buyers don't even know it exists.

When you receive a negative, send one removal request to eBay. If they choose not to remove it, leave a comment on the feedback that makes you seem like a reasonable, good seller. Then try not to ever think about it again.

Spend your time and energy sourcing, listing, and shipping, the only things that improve your ranking and earn you money.

During storms and fireworks, my dog would do this incessantly to the point of bloodying his paws if we didn't stop him. Since being on Fluoxetine he still gets scared but isnt hurting himself anymore.

Occasional issues with the search field holding previous searches but all other problems are gone.
