eBay: Master Thread

You should ship with the eBay global shipping program.

You should ship with the eBay global shipping program.

Thank you. How can I check how much it will cost before I send him an invoice?

ETA: Never I figured that out. (Just click on "send invoice")

My question now is, Can I use the eBay global shipping program if that isn't showing up as an option in the drop-down menu on the invoice?

You need to select that you are shipping through the global shipping program when you list the item. I don't know if you can do it after the sale.

I never really sold on eBay before, so I have a n00b question. Somebody from Indonesia just bought an iPhone 4 for $110. I only listed shipping to the US. He has a lot of positive feedback - all as a buyer - but there were a few from a while back that said "bad buyer" and the like. The buyer contacted me and told me to use "custom 1st class mail international for $17". My questions are:

1) How would you recommend I ship it?
2) Is there any way to track it?
3) Anything else I should know?

Indonesia  is one of the countries that have a very high fraud rate, being that its a used phone possibly its less likely that its fraudulent, but just keep that in mind if you are preceding with the order.

I would recommend shipping with USPS Priority of Express Mail, as it is the simplest and cheapest being that you don't have a discounted account with other carriers.

You could print the shipping label on USPS.com

Tracking will be included with the shipping label.

Once someone sends you an offer 3 times they can't send anymore. Is there a way you can send them an offer?

There is an option to counter offer, however, I think it disappears after the 3 times.

I had it on bulk decline so I couldn't do a counter offer

send them a message that you can make a custom listing for a certain price. Then message them a link to the listing.

Thanks that is what I did. I just wanted to know if there was a way reset the offers.

I just discovered that Paypal charges an extra 1% if the payment method is international, even if the shipping address is in the US. Is there any way to protect myself from this in the future? I already excluded foreign buyers, but that just affects the shipping address.

I have $429 in eBay Bucks. Willing to sell for $390 (9% discount).
eBay bucks are non-transferable, so the item needs to be purchased through my account and shipped to you.

PM me if interested.

I sold a shirt on eBay 6 weeks ago. By mistake I printed out a different label twice, and the shirt got shipped to the other buyer. I contacted her and asked her to refuse it and do return to sender. She responded that she did it, and it's on the way back.
Some time passed, and I never received it. I assumed it either got lost in the mail, or she kept it and lied about returning it. I contacted the buyer of the shirt, told him it probably got lost, and refunded the money.
Today, i came home, and lo and behold, the package was at my door. The Return To Sender label had a date of 7/1. It seems like it got lost in the USPS system for 5 weeks, and they just found it this week. I contacted the original buyer to ask him if he still wants it, and he said yes.
I guess all's well that end well.

 Are you allowed to have a few accounts under your name?

For example one for personal buying. And one for selling?

I have a few. I got approval for all them. Was very easy.

Can you sell items from more than one of them?

Not items from the same category
