There's certain types they don't allow, at least from what I remember from awhile backQuestion. I'd like to sell a vintage camera with a large rechargeable battery. Does UPS or FedEx allow batteries?

Did you create a fedex shipping label? You don't get charged at the time you create the label instead it gets added to your end of month invoice charges.Has anyone ever been overcharged on their final statement? Im supposed to owe only $4.00 but they're charging me $12.30. I added up all my fees and payments multiple times and it comes out to me oweing $4.00 so im not sure whats going on. Is there any email I could contact them with?
I definitely did not. I just noticed that it says "There will be a delay of 24 hours or more in updating your fee and account balance." above my account summary so maybe it will update to the correct amount soon. Thanks for your input though, I appreciate it.Did you create a fedex shipping label? You don't get charged at the time you create the label instead it gets added to your end of month invoice charges.
If this ends up trickling over to paypal transactions outside of ebay, then they can kiss my ass goodbye.I probably don't pay attention as much as I should but I did get this in my email from Paypal.
"We're increasing the time for buyers to file merchandise disputes (Item Not Received and Significantly Not as Described) from 45 days to 180 days."
Perfect - just what I want to give for everything - a 6 month return policy.
He can ask all he wants, but in the end, he takes the $40 or nothing. Hell, wouldn't be surprised if ebay closed his auction for such a blatant and stupid violation of their policies.Thought I'd found a steal on a pre-order of Bayonetta 2 then I read the description.
Buy bayonetta 2 for only $ 40 I only ask that you donate $7 or more to my paypal after you recieve the game the donation helps with ebay fee's feel free to ask questions item ships 2 days before release date

I also didn't buy it because he got a neg for selling a PS4 with cockroaches in it. Even though the game is allegedly going to come new not taking the chance.If this ends up trickling over to paypal transactions outside of ebay, then they can kiss my ass goodbye.

That wouldn't work at all though. eBay would have direct access to his messages instructing me to rip the book in half if he tried to pull that. I Google'd the seller. It's a guy in his mid-60s (unless someone else is using his name and account to sell). His writing is very coherent (not that 65 is "senile old" or anything), it seems like he sells a good amount of these comic trades so it's not like this is the only one he sold or he doesn't know what he's doing in terms of selling them.Not even sure what the point of suggesting that was. It changes nothing from your end, or changes nothing from his end.
My guess is he was doing that so he could claim you damaged the package, and then keep the money saying you purposely destroyed it.
I get what you're saying. That could be a possibility. But I'm not totally sure he meant that either, because then I could still easily put the two halves together to read the book and get something for free. While I'm more confident I could tear the book in half that way, it's still an absurd request. I think he was really all about me not getting and kind of windfall. A request to just tear the cover off would have been more "reasonable" but still ridiculous all things considered. At the end of the day there's no requirement for customers to destroy anything and provide proof of the destruction to get a full refund.Well, I'm guessing he meant rip it in half by the spine. Similar to ripping the cover off a magazine.
I don't know, I kinda feel the guy probably thought he was getting scammed and you were buying, claiming SNAD to get full refund, then was going to resell it.I get what you're saying.

I get a lot of "(Insert retailer name here) is selling your item for (lower price). Will you price match them?"I've unfortunately been stuck moving some of the stale inventory we sell through Ebay recently. The questions I get...sweet jesus it's hard to believe people so stupid can figure out how to use a computer.
"SO IT SAY SSIZE 12, WILL IT FIT A !8?" That's a direct copy and paste.
"high i am bulgaria, you ship here now!" Another direct copy paste, I think maybe that was a question?
Thank god it's only about 50 items and they aren't moving quickly.
The company I work for has a huge geriatric buying population and it is always so pathetic to listen to them whine. "I'm on a fixed income, can't you please make an exception for me?". No and for god's sake if you are on a fixed income stop buying bullcrap you don't need.I get a lot of "(Insert retailer name here) is selling your item for (lower price). Will you price match them?"
Around the holidays I get a lot of sob stores like "I'm a retired veteran living on a fixed income, is their anyways you could sell that $400 gaming console for $50. It's all I have"
I then get a lot of people that are either idiots or trolling questioning me if a particular collector's edition includes the console. This happened a lot with the GTA V collector's edition and a few times with several others like COD and Destiny.
Again, it was damaged badly versus the near mint condition it was allegedly sent in. No one has anything to gain from scamming for this item. And I wasn't just claiming SNAD, I provided picture proof and he knows exactly how poorly he packaged the item making that kind of damage more than feasible. If I were to re-sell the damaged book, I wouldn't get shit for it, which is exactly why he didn't want it back. I don't think it was ever a question for him of "was this the book I sent you, or a second copy," and even if it was, invisible ink exists if scamming is a concern.I don't know, I kinda feel the guy probably thought he was getting scammed and you were buying, claiming SNAD to get full refund, then was going to resell it.
1) I noticed this too. It's very weird because on the item page it won't let you see the shipping costs. But if you sort by "Price + Shipping Low to High" you can see the shipping costs in that list. I think it might be a glitch, maybe.I'm not sure if its a setting thing on my end, or just a recent update, but eBay changed two things on me:
1) When I look for recently sold items, it only gives me the sale price of the item, not the shipping costs. Makes it hard to determine total price of something when you only have one factor.
2) When buying / selling a game, I used to do a general search, and then click on the individually category page which lists all the other listings on eBay under that category. Made it easy to check the listings and previously sold types.
For example, if you click on this listing for Metroid Prime (no reason why I picked that), at the top of the page, it says:
"Listed in category: Video Games & Consoles > Video Games"
It used to say something along the lines of:
"Listed in category: Video Games & Consoles > Video Games > Metroid Prime (Nintendo Gamecube, 2002)"
You could click on that individual game title and search from there, but for some reason it doesn't work for me anymore...
Except you could have damaged your copy of it, and bought one on eBay to replace your damaged copy. Then take pictures of your original, damaged copy, and claim that his got damaged in shipping. There's tons of scam possibilities than just buying something, destroying it, and asking for money back.Again, it was damaged badly versus the near mint condition it was allegedly sent in.

And even if I was scamming him, he knows how eBay works and doesn't favor sellers when the buyer has picture proof, has been consistant, hasn't been rude, has agreed to abide by all eBay policies and procedures, etc. It was a swing and a miss trying to get me to do anything outside of eBay policy. But as a seller who knows how shitty scamming is, and as someone who isn't a dickbag human being in general, I wasn't scamming him.
I don't ship over seas. Have had nothing but problems.I've unfortunately been stuck moving some of the stale inventory we sell through Ebay recently. The questions I get...sweet jesus it's hard to believe people so stupid can figure out how to use a computer.

I've probably sold at least 200 things through and have yet to have a problem. The one time the package was damaged the buyer got a full refund from eBay and kept the tiem (I didn't have to refund anything and it was a 150 dollar collector's edition).Plus they have that screwy international shipping system now where you ship it to some magical building in the US and then ebay forwards it, and then does both the seller and buyer the injustice of not providing tracking from that point forward. No thanks. I will NEVER sell on ebay again after trying to startup a store about 6 months ago. Was a complete nightmare.
You can open an inquiry with USPS but I would wait at least 10 business days (two weeks). I have always had good luck entering the tracking number at USPS and signing up for e-mail alerts that tell me all previous and future movement on that package. It's probably just coincidence but anytime I mail something outside the CONUS like PR, Guam, VI, etc. and the package is stuck for a week or so when I sign up for alerts it usually starts moving again in a few daysDoes anyone know if Hawaii had any mail delays with their big storm they had recently? I have a Media Mail book that's sitting in a west coast sort facility not moving onto the boat or aircraft to get to Hawaii. I know Media Mail can take much longer than estimated, especially to places like Hawaii and Alaska, and that sometimes the bin might not move until it's full of more media mail stuff. But it's frustrating not seeing the package move on the tracking and I know soon enough I'm going to get hit with a "where's my item" message.
I know this eBay but there isn't really an Amazon info topic here...I have looked this up myself but don't see anything saying I can't so I'm checking here to make sure. I got a gift for someone from Amazon but he opened it and doesn't like it. It's a Figuarts toy also. Can I return it to them or no? I don't see anything on the site about them not taking it and specifically for what I would categorize as a toy they don't say it has to be unopened still. I've returned things to Amazon before but they were things I was unhappy with and therefore they were still unopened so I'm not sure in this case. I'm sure I'll have to pay return shipping since I've had to do that with my personal returns and they were unopened so I already figure that but I want to make sure they'll even accept it before I waste time shipping it and (possibly being out a shipping fee assuming they get it and don't want to refund and ship it back).
Had someone leave feedback of "pleasure" for a game I sold, not sure what to think about that. A simple thanks would of done it if they wanted to be lazy, but instead it just sounded creepy.I had someone leave me feedback "GameCube always was cooler than using drugs, thanks! Great seller!"
This gave me a good laugh when I saw it.
