That is around what my average is. 1 refund out of 100 sales. I don't really care about that. But when I see a buyer that has shown a history of scamming Sellers, then I will report the buyer. This is the first time I ever reported a buyer, so I'm just curious if it will do any good. I'm sure I...

Frustrating isn't it. I don't ship international because I would have a much higher chance of getting scammed. A couple of days ago, I had a buyer open a case against me. I sold him a cell phone battery and a charger. He claims that the battery does not hold a charge. If the buyer contacted me...

I agree completely. With all of my transactions, I find that only 40% of buyers leave feedback. But a buyer is more than likely to leave a Negative with a bad experience than they would a positive for a good experience. Since a buyer and seller can not leave feedback after 60 days, then a...

I figured that I was wasting my time. But I thought that I would try just to see if anything would happen. Lol I do not know why Ebay doesn't give Sellers more control over who can bid on their auctions. I can block buyers with a feedback score of less than 0. Completely useless considering...

Here is the deal. I have a feedback score of a little over 1500. Just received my 3rd Negative a couple of days ago. Offered a refund in exchange for a feedback revision. The amount is only $11 and was sent by Free shipping without tracking. Almost all of my items are less than $15 and sent...

You are correct. I have 30 day GTC listings and I also run Auctions on those same items. Everything is the same in my GTC and Auction listing. Title, description, and photos. If I include a Buy it Now option in the Auction listing, it doesn't take long for my listing to be removed because of...

Why do you guys have to resurrect a 3 year old thread? "Ask him to return it and issue him a refund, or partial" That is a very good idea. That is what I usually do after more than 3 years has passed. Ask buyer to return item so I can refund him. :rolleyes:

I have tried selling on Ebay a few times before, but made very little money. But I was dropshipping and the profits were small because lots of other Ebay sellers were selling the exact same thing. My IM business was dying as well, so that is why I gave Ebay another shot. I'm selling Cell Phone...

That is the problem. The listing ended and you relisted it. Always use GTC and make sure that you have items in stock so that the listing never ends. I've found that the Sales history plays a big part, as well as the keywords in the title and description of course. When I list a new item, the...

Ok, thanks for the info. Guess I will not do it. I do include a receipt with each order reminding the buyer to leave feedback. Just thought that this would be a good way to get more people to leave feedback. :-)

Good points. I always send a Sales Receipt with every purchase. Probably is better just mentioning it in the receipt. That way, I know the customer will see it. With Emails, it could go into Spam filters or the customer just never opens it. Maybe on the webpage, I'll just use an image of...

I did read the Ebay TOS you fucking prick. Didn't see anything in there about it.

Not sure what you would call it. It isn't really a contest. But here is what I am planning on doing. This is about encouraging people to leave Feedback. Mainly the 5 Star kind. Currently, I have not received a Neutral or a Negative. 450 Positive Feedback. My DSR's are either 4.9 or 5. But if...

Finally received my product on Friday, December 27th by Singapore post. China Post held onto it for 2 Months before they returned it to the Seller. The Seller re-shipped it by Singapore Post on December 10th. Only my 2nd package received via Singapore Post. Wouldn't hesitate to have anything...

PA Depot was good. But I wasn't selling that many items at the time. I stopped using PA Depot because I gave up selling on Ebay at the time. Mainly because I got into Google Adwords advertising for Affiliate products. I found that I was spending 95% of my time on my Ebay business and it was...
