It really doesn't mean much.
If I sell $10K products I am bound to have a higher monthly limit.
Where as someone can be a huge seller of lower priced items, and have a low selling limit.

Really??

It happens more than I would like though it can be reduced if someone is willing to share a list of such buyers and you input their name into your blocked buyers list.

How can I see the listing of an item that I sold 8 months ago?

Ebay only shows me listing that ended within the past 90 days.

Is there a way to look up older "sold listing" ?

a) You only pay sales tax when the seller is in the same state as you.
So Woot, Amazon, Groupon, are they all in NY, that they charge me tax?

High end or costume?

High end will not sell on your account
#experience.

NC, yeki89 - I think it is time you make a wiki with all the popular Q&A.


You can make it, I will add in 2 cents

I turned on Selling manager on eBay, it makes me very nervous... How can I turn it back off?
Why does it make you nervous?
What type of store to you have?
Yea. Its a pain, and waste of time to sell iPhones, and high end hot electronics as an auction
All you get are 0 feedback buyers and no payments.
Who here has the highest monthly selling limits?
I have over 100k

Anyone care to read emails from the crazy people I deal with?

Dear yeki89,

YEKI:

WERE YOU BORN TO SELL,............ OR IS IT A LEARNED SKILL!?! : - )

TALK ABOUT A GOLDEN TONGUE!! AND FOLKS SAY I'M GOOD.

I'VE BID ON ONLY TWO OF YOUR PRODUCTS, BECAUSE I'M BROKE!!

PLEASE COMBINE SHIPPING, ETC. IF YOU HAVE SOME BOXES PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I'LL GLADLY PAY FOR THEM.

ALSO IF YOU HAVE ONE (1) OR TWO (2) "SPECIAL WATCHES" AT A GOOD PRICE I MGHT ALSO BE INTERESTED IN THOSE.
I REALLY DO COLLECT, BUT I'M A SUCKER FOR A WATCH. I PROBABLY
WEAR THESE ONCE IN A WHILE.

BEST: FRANK

Dear yeki89,

YEKI:
A website is like a "store window". There are all kinds of them. For instance, your "store" is your WEBSITE, OR AT LEAST ONE OF THEM.
eBay is a GIANT-HUGE website! Again, for instance if you type in "FORD MOTON CO". you wil bring up several, maybe dozens of them, ALL
HAVING TO DO WITH FORD CARS! INCLUDING SERVICE, DEALERS, PARTS, HISTORY, MODELS, AND ON * AND * ON!

RIGHT NOW.................. MY E-MAIL WEBSITE IS "TALKING" TO YOUR EBAY WEBSITE. SO, WHEN I TYPE IN "WATCH" INTO MY COMPUTER
I GET ALL EBAY SELLERS, DEALERS, COLLECTORS, AND on, and on, and on!

If you type in : U. S. GOVERNMENT" you will come up with HUNDREDS of "sites" having anything with our government! Some will be sponsored by the
GOVERNMENT, others private, some information, and so on!

TRY THIS: TYPE INTO YOUR COMPUTER AND "GOGGLE" "Colleges and universities in the United States." You should get many pages of information
FROM MANY SOURCES, about every cschool in the U.S.

Not sure I did a good job explaining this, but try it and GET BACK TO ME and tell me what came up on your screen! There should be DOZENS
OF PAGES WITH A LIST OF MANY "SITES" REFERRING TO YOUR TOPIC, WHICH IS OF COURSE SCHOOLS IN THE U.S.!

Let me know what happens and if this helps you understand. It's much more complicated than this however this should help you understand
the term.

Talk Soon: Frank

YMMV

It is a big market... and eBay is flooded.

There is a seller that sells plastic link necklaces, her name is Amie Stone, I don'r recall her User ID. She cuts them down in size ect.

She is flooded with orders.

Other sellers are not so sucessful.

@ MarkF Where is your focus now?

I don't have a specific focus at this point. I would prefer to have a focus on cheaper items that have a decent return.

Yes I know, the return for those items are more when a person orders several of them so you only pay shipping once. Jewelry can have a nice return... if it sells.

I won a bid yesterday early morning on an iPad the guy emailed me about 10 AM that the payment cleared and he's shipping today (meaning yesterday) I haven't got any shipping confirmation and I emailed him 2 questions yesterday which haven't been responded to. Should I worry or this is regular?

No, he might not have used eBay shipping system... so the tracking isn't uploaded.

Always keep in mind as a buyer, there is never a need to worry.

as yeki89 said, tracking may have not been uploaded yet.
