eBay: Master Thread

[Zalc]

In addition I believe the buyer can still leave feedback which will most likely be negative if you screw the buyer like that.

And if you are a new seller, one negative like that can get you banned for life. (You won't be able to open another eBay account either.)

IMHO it isn't worth breaching a contract for that kind of money, and you still made ~$100 at the end of the day.

Anyone have issues using multiple eBay gift cards in one transaction?  I've had several issues -- I'll load more than one $100 gift card, and then all of a sudden a few will disappear, etc.  Anyone with similar issues?

You are able to use 8 ebay gc in one transaction of maximum $500 and maximum $5000 in 180 days.
If you go over any of these limits all the gc will disappear

I've done over 20 gift cards in one transaction (they were 5-10's)
And I once bought a $1,300 item with more than 8 gift cards..
So not sure how it works

A buyer who has 1300 feedback  is asking me to ship his package to a different address, is it a problem? Is it OK with PayPal?

it might be a hacked account OR maybe the guy moved last week

I think you dont get seller protection if you ship to a different address

Personally I wouldn't do it

you can answer you only ship to paypal verified addresses, but for a $7 item even if the guy does scam you its only $7

Im not sure but I think you can have ebay remove the feedback because of this.

You can see if he would be willing to cancel the item and repurchase it. That way when he repurchases it he can put in the correct adress. Assuming he's legit he should understand and be willing. That's what I've done when in the same situation.

If I cancel a sale cause it's out of stock and the buyer doesn't accept but neither decline the cancellation request will I still be charged the eBay fees?

What's the advantage of being a 'store?

Less fees. You do have to pay a certain amount to be a seller IINM, so only worth it if you sell a certain amount per month.

In addition your items will come up in a Google search which is not the case with regular listings.
