This is a repost from the US Discussion Boards All members should read this important warning. If you shop on websites other than eBay, you should exercise caution if someone emails you claiming to be an eBay representative! We are seeing an increase in reports of fake eBay Motors transactions that originate automotive websites other than eBay, such as Craigslist. Fraudsters are sending online shoppers fake email messages claiming to be from the eBay Trust and Safety Department,...

Hi, Sorry if there is a thread going on this already, or somewhere I can find the answers.....if so, please direct me, but I am wondering; if I should be concerned with multiple listings that have the same item for sale. I am questioning a certain item in particular.....I am interested in a very expensive horse training dvd, and the same seller re-lists the same item after the similar has been sold. Should I be concerned that it is pirated, even though the seller has 100% -98% positive...

Hi All Just wondering, when you mark an item as shipped in " selling manager", does that automatically generate an email to the customer? I've noticed that when I mark an item as shipped in paypal, it displays a message that an email has been sent to my customer. Just curious, as I don't want to flood a customer with emails. Thanks Jim

Answer from seller: Nathalie, I am into my mid 60's, and taking my camera out and putting it on a tripod, taking a picture, and downloading it , and uploading to you is a big deal for me. What's the big deal about the picture of the bottom? It has the Seeetusee stamp, as per the description. It isn't as if someone is trying to imitate these pieces. Don't bother bidding, I won't sell this piece to you. Phil

recently I have been bidding on various items that the shipping is by USPS. After a listing of $45.00 shipping I went to their web site actual shipping costs-$11.00!! Go to usps.com first. it is a good indication of yoiur seller. TO ALL U.S. SELLERS- we are sick of this crap! Any dollar store will sell you a padded envelope and the Post Office has prepaid boxes for shipping. WE DO NOT PAY FOR YOUR TIME IN SHIPPING.THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF AN ITEM-BASIC BUSINESS 101. If you sell for...

I guess it's the way of the world. People lie...constantly. My last e-bay purchase was described as new and the package has clearly been opened, fingerprints all over it, a used cable and scratched to boot. The seller initially didn't ship the thing and said the internet was down and couldn't find my address to ship it. The seller won't respond to me and there is no refund. It's my fault, I know. I should have gone with my gut feeling and that was - STAY AWAY from this seller. But...

I have bought quite a few items on ebay and mostly I have been very happy with my purchases what I really dislike is a seller who won't leave feedback until the buyer leaves theirs 1st. I feel this makes a sham of the whole feedback system as the buyer waits for good feedback to keep his percentage high giving the buyers a false sense of security. I have now began not leaving feedback until the seller leaves theirs 1st I think it is the best way to keep the feedback system as truthful as...

The ebay.com site is really messing up lately. I just went to leave feedback for one of my purchases and a different purchase came up. So if I hadn't noticed, I would have left feedback for something I haven't recieved yet. It is working fine on the .ca site though, so the problem must only be with the .com site.

Last night I bid on an item, seemed to have won it, a message came up saying seller would not ship to my address. I have a Canadian and a US one listed in paypal. Today I get a message from the seller of the item telling me they got my address from Paypal but the address is not the one I have listed. I've emailed the seller back to tell them this saying I'm not interested any longer ('cause now I'm scared) and have heard nothing. I have checked the addresses in my account and they are...
