Hi, This is the first time I have come to this board. I won an item last night (under another ID) at the very low start bid. I have not received an invoice or anything from the seller (in China) to acknowledge the sale. Also, I have not received any messages from ebay in my message box or my personal email saying "congrats you won this item". Nada, nothing - but on the listing page it says "you won this item" and it's in My Ebay under the Won column. So, my question is - should I go ahead...

I listing for an item starting at $29.99. I received a bid for the $29.99 several days ago with 3 days left on the auction. I just got notice that they "cancelled their bid because they said they entered the wrong amount". I thought if you bid on an item it is a binding agreement to purchase that item? She evidently changed her mind.

Recently used the Buy it Now option to purchase two Christmas Wreath Swags from Collections, Inc. but when I try to complete the check out process, their automated site says the items are sold out. Now eBay is reprimanding me for non-payment. I've contacted Collections but have not heard back from them and can find no way to contact eBay to alert them (this problem doesn't fall into one of their item-specific categories) Any suggestions?

Your opinion, please. 2 identical items, both brand new, still in packaging, 2 different sellers, both with more than 10,000 feedback, over 99% positives for both. Seller 1 price: $9.99 + $3.00 shipping/handling Seller 2 price $12.99 + free shipping Both BINs. How to choose??_________________________________ Listen to the music playing in your head.

eBay seems to have eliminated the item-selection check-boxes, that is the ability to easily qualify for example "shirt" with new/used red/green/blue size, etc. or "ink" with compatible/original. I found the feature enormously useful, and there's no obvious way to replace it with search terms. Any term may show up in the description in a positive, negative, or tangential sense, e.g. "this is certainly not a red shirt, if you're looking for one see my other auction" will create a false hit...

I have noticed that some of the auctions have bidders with zero feedback ratings bidding repeatedly and obviously wants to make the bid go higher. I believe this is a tactic and must be investigated. What do you think fellas?

I have won multiple items from a seller. I need to contact him to combine postage, but Ebay's new rules won't allow me to send an E-mail or make contact until I pay FIRST which defeats the purpose. Is there is a way to do this, it's not easy to find. Can you help?

I keep getting a '0 items found; eBay could not conduct the search' return when I try to search for items by name. Anyone else having this problem? Charlie

The only pages I can get are My Ebay and the Ebay home page. Every category I go to comes up with 0 results even with a search. I have dumped my temp files and cookies. Any idea? Is it just me?

I have been on eBay for more than ten years, took a break for a bit last year and decided to give it a go again for some gifts and such this year. In the past few weeks I have used BIN to buy multiple items, and paid promptly with PayPal (like within minutes). In two cases the sellers have refunded part of the sale stating they are "out of stock" yet the have more of the same identical items still listed. In one case for more than what I paid. I thought the rule is you don't list what you...

Is there anyway to see the bidding history of an item after it has already been purchased? I ask because my starting bid was $.99 but somehow it went to my exact max bid and prior to time no one else but me had bid on it. Please help......
