I was just recently asked a question if my item is available for pickup. I have no problem with this but I don't know if I need to change or how to change my listing to allow this.
If I was to say yes local pickup allowed how do I make sure paypal doesn't charge the potential buyer with my Postage and Handling? Can I cancel that somehow? Hope this makes sense. Thanks.
I believe I have sold my kayak but it came up with second chance so I contacted the second highest bidder and they are picking it up tonight. Then to my dismay the first bidder has just sent me a email about picking it up..what is going on????? then you guys send me an email that the kayak didn't sell...confused
Hi, I am just wondering how long you give the person to make payment??? I really need to sell these items not wait around a week or two for the payment?
And also how do you tell if they aren't real buyer's??
What date am I allowed to list items for sale again, as with the selling limit I have to wait for a month and I cant remember what date my listing started and for how many days. Is there anyway I can look up the date of my last listing item? Thanking you in advance
Hello, I am just wondering how long you leave it for payment??? For me now its been 2 days, I have sent the person 2 emails (over 2 different subjects) but I have not had any reply. Also, am I allowed to change the postage charge when they want me to send it to Texas USA from Australia??
My caravan ad has attracted plenty of lookers but not many inspections. I really need to sell the unit, but will not sacrifice it. I paid $80,000 about 5 year ago, and have it listed for $47,000, with 3 inspections and 20 watchers. Should I cancel the Classified ad & relist it as an auction, say start at $40,000 WITH A RESERVE OF $42,000, and what would it cost me. I really dunno, any help would be appreciated, and I LOVE THIS EBAY CONCEPT, so you will be hearing from me again. (If I can't get $40,000, I'll move back into it) regards Pete

I've just sold my first item. The buyer sent me an e-mail asking for my bank details so they could deposit the money into my bank. Doesn't this go through Paypal?
Hi I'm new to selling on ebay and would like to practice listing items before going live. I was shown once a few months ago, but due to other commitments didn't get a chance to start listing now I've forgotten where this is. I'm sure that I had to go into Site Map and then somewhere not so obvious. All suggestions welcomed. Thank you
I have sold my item by accepting the offer from the buyer, then I send them the invoice already. A day later, the buyer send a reply email said they do not want the item anymore. What can I do?
i am new to ebay and i normally sell furniture, couple of days ago i was not able to list anymore i got in touch with live chat and was told that had the restricitions due to having too much furniture for sale i got in touch with trust and safety department to be told that they will get back to me that was 48 hours ago and still no answer what can
I am a first time seller, however I've two items at the same time. I sold a washing machine with pick up detials "pick up only", now when I want to send a confirmation message to the buyer the system requests a postage type. The buyer is located in San Fran USA so I think the postage cost will kill the transaction or do I assume the buyer is moving to sydney.
