Discussion Taxable income from selling on Ebay Correct me if I am wrong but is the "net" income (the amount paid out to the seller) the reportable income for IRS purposes? 17 hours ago last reply just now Correct me if I am wrong but is the "net" income (the amount paid out to the seller) the reportable income for IRS purposes? Discussion Uploaded on time but no carrier scan I got 3 of these in June to July, I bought insurance on all 3 with USPS and posted the tracking numbers. Why should I get a negative item as this was totally the fault of the Post Office for not scanning it? It seems like a silly thing to record. yesterday at 11:11 PM last reply 3 minutes ago I got 3 of these in June to July, I bought insurance on all 3 with USPS and posted the tracking numbers.

I just got the DM that asks me to verify my account & to do so by clicking on the word "verify" in blue. I hope no one falls for this!

Discussion Navigating eBay's Policies on Selling Used Fragrances Many sellers are eager to list pre-owned fragrances, but navigating eBay's rules around this can be tricky. As eBay requires cosmetics to be unused, how have you approached selling used or vintage perfumes while staying compliant? Have you creatively marketed your listings or perhaps found alternative platforms for these items?

Discussion Addressing Misleading 'Not Tested' Listings on eBay I've noticed a trend on eBay where scummy sellers like goodwill and the likes list used items as "not tested" and "as-is," effectively sidestepping eBay's condition guidelines and just applying their store policy. This seems unfair to buyers who assume "used" implies some operational guarantee. Ebay should enforce stricter rules to differentiate between genuinely used items and those being sold for parts or repairs. I have reported many listings but the AI for ebay sucks and nothing is done. yesterday at 9:32 PM last reply 1 hour ago I've noticed a trend on eBay where scummy sellers like goodwill and the likes list used items as "not tested" and "as-is," effectively sidestepping eBay's condition guidelines and just applying their store policy.

Person sent two messages seconds apart that arrive as one - 'Do you have more [item]' and 'I buy [item]' - We say yes but not up for sale right now. At this point we check their fb left - Set to show 200, it was TWENTY SEVEN negs for 'those items' stating 'seller cancelled no reason' and 'seller lied' - plus six replies by sellers about him lying and SENDING CONTACT INFO. Also got four positive/neg from sellers. So we blocked ... and then noticed the new four messages in one, 'I pay good, I buy lots, Let's talk' and the last one, a photo of what is most likely their phone number and email address. We didn't click on the number/address or reply. Now the dilemma: half of my ebay seller friends say report, the other say 'don't get on ebay's radar' What would you do. 6 hours ago last reply 1 hour ago Person sent two messages seconds apart that arrive as one - 'Do you have more [item]' and 'I buy [item]' - We say yes but not up for sale right now.

Discussion Partial cologne bottles not allowed? Just found out that a partial bottle of perfume/cologne etc is not allowed. Mine was removed. But they are all over ebay.

Discussion eBay's Size Taxonomy is completely broken. They rolled out standardization of sizes yesterday and I've already found 4 broken instances where eBay's Taxonomy needs to be updated: Men's Pants/Jeans: Size 33 and 35 are both not valid "Regular" Sizes. Only allowed in "Big and Tall" Suits/Blazers: Size 43 chest is not a valid size Women's Jeans/Pants Size 37 is not a valid plus size. There are a few brands that use this as a plus size. And this is just day 1. 6 days ago last reply 1 hour ago

I would say I probably do to much and go out of my way to make all of my sales go smoothly and that the buyer is happy with their purchase. I sometimes even add free items to the sell if I make a good profit on the items. Sometimes the free items are worth more than what they are buying.. I had a sell a few weeks ago that the buyer left a negative feedback because he said he hadn't received the item which was delivered to him the next day. So yes the item was one day late but when I contacted the shipper they said it was delivered but delayed 1 day because of them and nothing I had done. So when I asked the buyer to please update or fix the feed back he said the only way he would if the negative and make it a positive was if I would send him another item for free. If not he would just let it be.. Here is just part of our messages. They go on for 3 or 4 more days.. lHow would you handle this? 5 hours ago last reply 2 hours ago I was wondering if I was the only one to be in a way blackmailed by a buyer?

Discussion Combined Shipping with USPS PM Flat Rate Envelopes So far as I can tell, I can only choose yes or no on combined shipping for all calculated shipping rates. However, one of my calculated shipping rates is for an item which I ship in a USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope, and if the customer orders more than one, it no longer fits in that, but eBay "combines" them and still charges them for just one envelope. Is there a way to set up a shipping policy that lets me leave the USPS PM FRE as calculated, but doesn't combine shipping, while still combining shipping for my Media Mail and Ground Advantage items? 4 hours ago last reply 3 hours ago So far as I can tell, I can only choose yes or no on combined shipping for all calculated shipping rates.

Discussion More ebay fees. Hi Everyone, is it just me or sales are low for everyone this last 2 months? I contacted ebay about the super low sales that my store is having, they said that yes, it is usually the slowest time of the year. They suggested promoting my store and listing for extra fees with it can you up to 13% more. I feel like ebay is getting more and more expensive to sell which in a way is more money to pay for the buyer as I have to pass the some of down the fees to them:(.
