Hello all, Welcome to the Ask Griff Discussion Board thread for November 2009. I'm Jim Griffith (known to most as Griff). I have been an eBay buyer, seller and employee since 1996. You can learn more about me on my About Me page. It's been an extremely busy past month for all of us here inside eBay, yours truly included. As a result, I have had less time to devote to Ask Griff as I did earlier this year. I don't expect this to change in the next few months. To that end, I have altered...

20 Most Frequently Asked Questions on Seller CentralWelcome to Seller Central!We hope that these 20 FAQ's will answer your question.1.

It is very important that all sellers with non-paying bidders file unpaid item disputes if payment is not received from buyers. Since negative feedback can no longer be left for buyers who do not pay to warn other sellers, filing an unpaid item dispute has become more import than ever. Filing a dispute and then closing it eight days later will give the buyer a strike towards suspension and is the only way sellers have to protect each other from bad buyers. It is also important to file...

I have not sold any items in a long time (since Paypal), but I have bought many items. I have a rather expensive item in an auction. I put a note on the auction for no buyers with less than 10 positive feedbacks. Two days into the auction, I have a bidder with 0 feedbacks who has run up the price. So I starting looking around here to see what type of protection I had if I ship this item to him. I read some old threads on here where most people tend to give 0 feedback people the benefit...

HI, I just tried to post a listing in the category of Men's Shoes choosing the style of Boots.

No wonder there is so very many under "other". I thought those listers were ignorant of style & Sub style options. I try to...

In my buying experience on eBay I frequently saw the sellers' explanations of the star ratings, and, in particular, how the eBay administration does not, in fact, think of 4 stars as "good" and uses it as grounds for account suspension. Now I sell a lot of stuff myself. Is it fair to assume that my customers would have seen those clarifications already, or do I have to explain everything in my listings, too? (And if yes, what would be the best way?) I had someone give me a 4 for shipping...

The BIN button isn't showing, but when I went to edit my listing the BIN price is showing there, just not where buyers can see it. What's up. It is because I have a bid that the BIN button is gone????? THanks.

OK, eBay only allows electronic payments unless the item is personally picked up. Why on an invoice I'm getting ready to send my buyer (eBay motors) does it state they can mail a payment and show my address? How can I remove this? Also, is there no more live help function? eBay used to be fun and now it's really becoming a pain. Glad I'm not selling much anymore!

After checking in to see what had come of the payment I was told he forgot to send it. My last two were queries on payment were to no avail. So I file payment not received.

I out curiosity today, I asked at the PO window about a package being scanned there and she said that they don't scan it when purchased online. So what's the point? I don't understand why the PO offers a discount on Delivery Confirmation online and not treat it the same way as buying it at full price at the window. When you buy it at the window it gets scanned, but if you bring in the online one it doesn't. I know it's not a tracking service, but I think the PO at the first point of delivery...

Propay is for Powersellers (that's us) but you will STEER CLEAR OF PROPAY if you are a wise Powerseller. We signed up for Propay, changed all of our listings to accept Propay, and then received an e-mail from Propay a few days later stating they wanted to keep $5,000 in a reserve account in perpetuity (i.e. until you close your Propay account) in case there are any chargebacks.

Shoppers searching the site for products such as Apple Inc.’s iPod got a blank page or an error message that the site was unable to run the requested search. EBay may face more disruptions as listing volumes peak during the holiday shopping season, ChannelAdvisor CEO Scot Wingo said in an interview....

If you do not mention smoking in your description, do not, I repeat do not, douse the items with perfume. Trying to fool the buyer. The smoke smell is bad enough, and does not disappear. I am allergic to smoke, but I can get rid of that. I am more allergic to most perfumes and can get very sick, very fast when I am around them. Thank you._________________________________________ .

I listed the item "nwot" and showed pics of inside and out side the bag. I don't take returns because i don't want to be scammed. I told the buyer to show me pick of the marks, I have not heard back. Do i have to return it just because the buyer thinks that its not good enough? What if nothing is good...

How do I handle this one fairly and send an invoice with all the items. Thanks.

I have a buyer claiming they haven't received their item. I mailed the day after the auction ended since they paid right away. This was 9 days ago. I didn't do delivery confirmation because this ended in the $3-4 range. They're already wanting a refund. They have good feedback. How long would you wait to send a refund? Right away or wait a few more days?

Hi there. I was looking for an instyler for my daughter (yes, we know the reviews are very mixed). I came upon this listing: Item number 260509612650. The seller states that she is the only "authorized" dealer of the instyler on ebay, and that means she can honor the three year extended warranty. The price is reasonable (comparatively), and the seller has good feedback and a long track record. So, while the seller seems like a good risk, and I'm protected by using my credit...
