These are actual member questions and staff responses, with some slight cleanup to make them easier to read. More topics will be posted in the next few days....

The new item layout, with photos appearing in an inset box that you can click to enlarge, is a major step backward -- the pictures, even when enlarged, are significantly smaller than under the old layout. Look at any of my auctions under the two formats and you'll see the difference. I rely on people being able to see the CDs they're bidding on, but they're too small to be readable under this new layout. I note that the new FAQ encourages us to make sure we use pictures that are 1000...

The eBay Resolutions FAQ page states..."With the new system, when a buyer begins the dispute process and indicates they did not receive their item or the item received was different than described, they may be given the option to call eBay - regardless of the payment method used in the disputed transaction."My questions...1) When a buyer pays using money order or personal check and the buyer doesn't receive the described item, will eBay refund the buyer's payment? If yes, how will the buyer be...

I use the PayPal labels for a lot of off-eBay sales. 1. Will labels (single and MOS) still be available at PayPal? 2. Will the Large and Small Flat Rate Box be added at PayPal at the same time as they are available on eBay? 3. Are those Flat Rate Boxes still coming out by June 2009?

What if the item is still in transit when the buyer contacts us? If the item is still in transit, eBay will consider the delivery estimate in the listing. If tracking indicates that the item should arrive within the delivery estimate plus a reasonable amount of additional time (3 days in most cases), the buyer will be told to wait and the seller will not be held accountable. If tracking indicates that the item will arrive outside this timeframe or is lost in transit, the seller may be held...

Delivery Confirmation IS NOT tracking. I do not send the Delivery Confirmation number to my buyers because they then look up the info on the postal service site and panic when they see the info there....they assume that because their is no further info other than the number that I'm scamming them and not sending the item! Why does eBay insist over and over again that "tracking" should be sent to the buyer.....why does eBay call it tracking?....why does eBay falsly lead the buyer with...

What does "electronically notified by" mean? “…electronically notified by …” indicates that delivery information has been transmitted to or from a shipper or shipping partner. It appears when an item is mailed using the electronic option for Delivery Confirmation or Signature Confirmation services. When checking on the delivery status of an item, you may see something similar to: "The United States Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper or shipping partner on...

Will there by any sort of records kept on buyers who file SNAD or INR claims over and over again? Will there be put into place a block for sellers to use against buyers who have filed claims in the past? We can block those with unpaid items, why not block those who file too many claims? If not WHY? Regardless of what you may think the buyer is not always right and I should have the ability to block those that never seem to be happy with their eBay purchase. You would think that...

1) On auctions that currently have high velocity, will the addition of adding in product catalog specs vs not having them in place now, hurt your velocity on active auctions? ex: I am selling a Motorola V3 Blue and selling 30/day without the product catalog specs and prefilling the information ourselves. If I change an active listing and add the product catalog in the cell phones for a Blue Moto V3, will this hurt the velocity and reset the score? 2) What is the outlook of the product...
