Someone open a buyer protection case against you? I'm just reading this: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/...rformance.html Side note: I have no great love for eBay either, had at least one bad experience myself. I think it becomes nearly impossible to maintain 100% feedback once you do enough transactions, it just becomes statistically likely you'll run into an idiot and situation which is beyond remedy. And Ebay's policies, I think, are generally stacked against the seller.

Not sure if this is relevant here but I just got this message from eBay: Here are a few important updates to the eBay Buyer Protection Policy: To make sure returned items are delivered correctly, sellers are required to maintain a valid and current return address on file. You can update your return address online via My eBay by selecting Account > Addresses, then clicking Change next to the Primary return address field. For items that are event tickets listed under the Tickets category, a case may be opened until 7 days after the event date, even if that's more than 45 days from purchase date. If an item is re-shipped after being received at the address in the Order details page or PayPal Transaction Details page, it won't be eligible for eBay Buyer Protection Policy coverage. We reserve the right to suspend a buyer's coverage under the eBay Buyer Protection Policy if we suspect that buyer is colluding with a seller to misdeclare the value or type of an item for evading customs fees. In order to be protected from a case when a buyer reports an item was not received, sellers must provide valid delivery confirmation before the case is escalated to eBay for a final decision. If the buyer successfully appeals a case and receives a refund from eBay, and the seller's refund failed, was canceled, or did not complete after the case was closed, the seller will be required to reimburse eBay. To help buyers and sellers resolve a case, eBay may provide or give them access to each other's name, user ID, email address, other contact information, and other information relating to the case, including any relevant documentation obtained from a third party. When deciding a case, eBay may review item details, messages between the buyer and seller in eBay Messages, seller responses to questions, and other sources of information related to the case.

This doesn't belong in B&S

eBay is terrible, but unfortunately there really isn't an alternative besides B&S. The fees are much too high, that's my main gripe.

Any chance the problem is coming from the Paypal end of things?

Otherwise I'm out of ideas. Ebayer since 1999, but my last transaction was in 2008. So I'm behind the times in Ebay knowledge.

Sounds like they've hired some new marketing consultants.

Sounds like this is part of their push to charge fees on shipping maybe?

I just for a message saying my rating is improving and to keep up the good work to avoid holds. Those holds are supposed to be automatically lifted 3 days after delivery if you provide a tracking number but they never do.

Sounds like you do add extra cost to shipping, something I used to do myself.

These days, I just say fuck it, everything goes out Priority, and I round up to the next pound, and the shipping fees are variable. Let the buyer deal with it. Shipping rating went up to 4.9

Does anyone use Google Checkout? With all the issues people are having with ebay/paypal, can google offer better services for both sellers and buyers?
