And I'm a little skeptical. . Here's the story, I sold a $900 item on another ID. It's a collectible item with a low rate of scam, but there's always a chance as you know. The buyer's address is wrong by one digit in the zip code. Apparently the PO was messing with the zip codes in the area, this comes up ever so often. But correcting the zip caused me to get the "you must ship to" message, and I wasn't going to do that. I refunded. The buyer got their address fixed with Paypal and paid... (More)

I've been an ebayer since the first year Ebay started. I"ve seen it all over the years and ever since Ebay and Paypal merged... I've seen nothing but more and more problems. Paypal's recent move to the random "21 day Hold" practice has me so frustrated, I have filed a complaint with the San Jose, CA Better Business Bureau. If you're not familiar with Paypal's new practice, here it is. Paypal can randomly decide to "Hold" your payment. I recently sold football tickets for $200.... (More)

I think many have turned Thanksgiving is just a day to have a really good meal instead of being Thankful. Lets have a moratorium on the arguments and spend the time till after Thanksgiving to share our thoughts on the holiday instead of the disagreements. I dare you!! The tradition of serving Turkey comes from a letter written 22yrs after the first celebration by William Bradford "History of Plymouth Plantation". This letter sent to Edward Winslow, a known as a Pilgrim. The letter... (More)

I am fairly new to ebay and am really looking for some help. Long story short I bought a dress for $21.

I sold 2 dress on one invoice to a buyer in Austria. The buyer claims to have returned one of the dresses to me (for $349.99, the other dress for $399.99 was kept and was never returned). She indicated that there was nothing wrong with the dress she just did no like it. There was no mention of the item being significantly different than described. I have a no return policy, I am sure this is why I was only informed of the return after the package was sent back to me. The seller did not ask for... (More)

I won an item but right now I don't have enough in my PP acct. to pay for it immediately. Today I sent funds to my PP account from my linked bank account, but I am afraid because of the holiday it will take longer than 5 days for the funds to become available. The listing says I have 7 days to pay. But the seller is trying to cancel the sale and if PayPal does not make the money available to me by the 7th day I am sure she will seize upon this to cancel the transaction.... (More)
