-
Astra (@AaronBPrince) reported@jeffqchen ebay is something else, the amount of "untested" electronics, where they're only claiming it's untested because they know it's broke, and "spares and repair" where it's obvious in the photos it's broken beyond saving.

Upordownisaok (@upordownisaok) reported@eBay The problem is you have no interest in helping people who experience problems. Just keep the fees flowing.

OSAKA NIGHTS 💫 (@OsakaNights223) reported@AustinTani Naw, it’s just scammers that’s all. We’re in a new ERA of Pokémon Scamming… it’s actually terrible the **** I see on @eBay everyday and they keep denying my reports on “sellers” who I know 1000% are trying to scam people.

Sarah Cholwill (@SarahCholwill) reportedI bid on some broken Botanic Garden on EBay and it was supposed to be delivered today. In fact it says it WAS delivered but is nowhere in sight! I now realise it’s 7kg so let’s hope it’s still on its way as I don’t think anybody else wants it 🤔

Grimm (@grimmofhorrors) reported@slasherhomo I think I’ve only had it with one steelbook & I got it from ebay, but like Leprechaun had like a weird coloring error where the colors were washed & people were asking them for a replacement. Then I got a John Wick set which came with limited edition pics & instead of some of—

Richard Taylor 🏴🇬🇧 (@rtsrichard) reported@eBay_UK the way your system calculates carriage is costing orders and so costing me and Ebay money. DPD Next Day is next working day. It should say for an order placed now, delivery by Tuesday 16th as it will ship Monday and is a next day service to that postcode used for this illustration. Other courier 3-5 days ordered now will not ship until Monday either so should not offer a delivery option before Thursday 18th. You can see Tuesday 16th is offered. This problem has been raised by me and many other sellers AND buyers based on the support forums. I raised this yet again around 3 weeks ago after a customer advised they had been misled by the delivery forecast generated by Ebay. It should be quite simple to calculate based on time of order, earliest contracted shipping date, + 3-5 days, or 1 day, subject to the service. Please do something about it or I will have to review all my listings and delivery options on Ebay.

Daniel Southam (@Lister_of_smeg) reported@eBay @eBay @AskeBay Banned for doing absolutely nothing. Haven't bought or sold anything in years, but got permanently suspended. Help links are broken and customer service just spammed me with copy-paste robot responses. Stay away - avoid them. dont use. #eBay #eBaySpam

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedFree Shipping: The Silent Sales Booster I started wondering about buyer paid shipping vs free shipping especially when the total cost to the buyer ends up exactly the same. One listing with a higher price and free shipping another with a lower price plus a separate shipping fee. It pulled me down a rabbit hole of reports and studies and I wanted to share what I found because it's pretty eye opening for anyone flipping on eBay. Free shipping often wins on conversions and sales speed even when the buyer pays the same amount overall. Amazon Prime set the bar high. Recent data puts US Prime members around 180 to 200 million so roughly 60 to 70 percent of adults have free fast shipping as their normal. Shoppers expect it, 66% want free on every order, 80% expect it above a threshold and up to 84% have bought specifically because shipping was waived. Free just feels like a win emotionally and people jump. Charging shipping as a separate line creates extra FRICTION. Buyers lock onto the lower item price and treat the shipping fee like an annoying add on. They downplay it or get irritated even when the math is identical. That extra step at checkout can make them hesitate or bounce. Tran's 2020 and 2024 analyses of eBay Germany data confirm buyers shrug off small separate shipping fees but demand jumps sharply when it's free. Marketplace insights seal it. Free shipping listings get 15 to 25 percent more views and 10 to 18 percent better conversion rates even at matching totals. eBay favors them in search visibility too which helps everything compound. Free cuts the hassle. No surprise fees at checkout. Feels cleaner and more valuable. For my flips I've gone 100% to free shipping after some experimenting over the last 4 months. Data points to faster sales less push back though category and margins decide the final call. Anyone else gone down this rabbit hole? You charging separate or going free?

EF Comix (@11975MHz) reported@_zomg I wouldn't pay THAT much for a broken AES. Unless you can fix it and resell it over on Ebay.

Michael Salfino (@MichaelSalfino) reported@ebay is disgraceful in slow-walking my refund for an item I paid for 30 days ago and have not received. You have to be very careful buying cards there now with all the extra things that can go wrong with authentication shipments.
