Seller might refund you and let you keep it.

If escalated, and eBay makes the decision, you will have to return it.

Why should he do so?.....

I don't like when people abuse small eBay seller's etc.... If you wonna do so with Amazon, Walmart, it's more understandable, but not with a small seller.

A transaction I did as a seller was cancelled by agreement of me and the buyer. Now I got an email from Ebay reminding me to ship. What's going on?

I just sold a google glass invitation code on ebay. Buyer contacted me that code doesnt work. I tried myself and it still works. The guy then personally emails me. I told him that it could be it needs to be done through my email address and if he wants I can have them shipped to him. Guy says that he wants to pick it up in the city and he called Google and they said that the person buying them needs to come with ID.

Bottom line is he wants a refund. The issue is that I cant repost this code bec it expires tom.

He tells me he will ask for a refund via ebay. How should I proceed?

I sold a few of the same item to a few different buyers.

How can I just print shipping labels at the same time for all of them?

The way it is now, I need to go to the shipping page each time, and enter weight etc.

Is there a way to do it all at once?

do you have a store, in my premium store there is an option to do it. I'm not sure if the basic/no store allows you.

I have a basic store.

Whats the benefits of a premium store over a basic store? (Besides for creating multiple shipping labels at once  ;) )

I posted a Kitchen-Aid for sale (thanks Dan :)) ), I clicked only domestic shipping and USPS Parcel Select which Ebay calculates bet $15 and $55 dollars depending on location. When I look at my listing though it says that it ships internationally and shipping is $15. Do I have anything to worry about? When I tried to modify the listing, the shipping shows as I selected, (no intl and bet $15-$55).
Buy discounted gift cards from me.

Because IME that will cause the listing to show international shipping even if you chose the no international shipping option when you listed the item.
