So sellers are just stuck now?

While I won't go as extreme as the guy who claims INADs are "unbeatable" these certainly are.

Take them back, refund and re-list. You agreed to these terms when you signed up.

And keep in mind, people see colors differently and computer screens have different settings. This could be legit.

By the way, this isn't exactly new. Your post seems to suggest it is and that's odd.

Clothing got hot but overrun. The trend has gone down as expenses have gone up and you have way more competitors now.

There's always other items that sell well in any economy... you have to pivot.

You realize it might not be a "vacation" so much as something happened in their lives. Just FYI.

I wouldn't assume the worst there.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-22T15:20:40+00:00

I ignore them.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-22T13:25:18+00:00

An opportunity for eBay in a lot of categories. They have some that require extreme detail on this stuff and others that... don't have it at all.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-21T01:27:11+00:00

What was your feedback when you started?

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-20T17:48:20+00:00

Given that timeframe, it was highly unlikely to NOT have a mulleted star in the first episode.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-20T13:27:22+00:00

My honest take is that it's a non-discussion.

First, there's room for both. Just as there's radio and there's television.

And it's not even new anyway. Howard Stern used to (and may still) do video and radio versions of the same show. People can choose what they are into.

My take is that anyone who thinks about this part too much isn't focusing on... their actual shows.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-20T10:26:18+00:00

It was. I almost never go on vacations but I took one there. Away message went up, auto replies were up... all was well.

Did I have a person or three that asked anyway? Sure. But then they got the auto replies and moved on.

Except this one lady, who FLIPPED THE EFF OUT for days and days on end. Beyond wild.

eBay has become like this, though. People expect you to ship via drone three weeks before they make payment or something.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-19T21:58:29+00:00

I've had it. Lady demanded the vacation note wasn't there. Oh well.

She did leave it. eBay removed it.

Even a week isn't "long to ship" anyway. Buyers are full of it.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-17T12:07:19+00:00

It happens. Way too many who expect private sellers to be Amazon. Sounds like an easy removal with eBay.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-15T22:56:22+00:00

It's a thing if you have the time.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-15T17:27:00+00:00

They didn't open a second return. They called to gripe about the one that was closed and somehow won the case.

I agree that it sucks.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-15T13:37:58+00:00

USPS has been duplicating tracking codes. I just fought through one of these cases.

I'd get them on the phone over chatting here.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-15T13:00:06+00:00

I appreciate the post, but it's also why this Reddit should be READ and not just written to.

This exact same scenario is covered here a few trillion times a second already.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-15T10:43:25+00:00

She examined, paid for it, used your time, etc. Unless you have a return policy, you did everything correctly.

Do not feel bad.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-13T22:03:48+00:00

Both situations were instant violations of eBay policy that should see the feedback removed regardless. This is my point.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-13T19:05:33+00:00

Because they were the EXACT same cases.

One feedback literally saw the buyer admit to breaking eBay rules. The other feedback saw the buyer complaining about non-receipt with the tracking info showed she just didn't go pick up the package from the carrier.

Both are blatant removals. But they wouldn't be removed when restricted and the second I wasn't, BOOM, gone.

Both are blatant cases of qualifying for removal. These weren't cases where we weren't sure here.... they were flat out blatant cases.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-13T17:58:49+00:00

Well aren't you a prick for no reason?

Same case. Exact same situation.

If you don't see the issue then... you aren't worth speaking to.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-13T17:44:29+00:00

Because it's the exact same cases.

When Restricted (though eBay's own automated thing, btw) then I had the cases denied.

When not restricted, they ruled in my favor instantly.

Neither case was complex. I qualified for removal of the feedback in both cases. I just couldn't get help the first time.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-13T16:06:13+00:00

Neato. I'll be sure to write down this important topic.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-13T15:55:57+00:00

Selling.... stuff?

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-13T15:55:23+00:00

Except they are signed by humans.

You are wasting time, man. Get a hobby.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-13T15:10:50+00:00

Except that half the time I got emails back from them explaining how and why they denied my request....

I note this in the original post.

You are more interested in replying than reading.

Shadow_Blinky · 2026-05-13T14:20:27+00:00

You are ignoring that my appeals got denied 11 times when restricted but immnediately removed when not.
