Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

AH-HA! It appears:

The truncated list appears when you view AUCTIONS (whether the item was sold or not) and BINS that did NOT sell.

The full list when you view BINS that have sold.

@drlivingston truth?

picked up this mint berluti python jacket. in stores now for 10k.

This guy is wearing a $10k jacket. So why does it look like he just **** his pants?

Spoiler

Probably because he was told he could keep the whole outfit, minus the jacket.

@SpooPoker Do you still need those link, or did the Auction/BIN explain the two different lists?

What an asshole. Offering $X via PM, having the seller accept your offer, then offering .75X saying "I'll pay immediately" is the biggest scumbag buyer move. I can't believe how often it happens.

Is he an SF troll? He sent me low ball offers for an item. When I countered, he low balled again. I'm going to block him.

No idea about the SF bit but yeah I would recommend blocking.

So I made a big dumb mistake. Not sure how it happened given I always triple check shipping labels. But I mixed up 2 labels and the wrong items went to each person. The buyers still want the items they ordered but now its all very complicated.
Does anyone have any tips on how to proceed, other than accepting 2 returns.

I made that mistake once. Just provided shipping labels to each buyer and asked them to send the item to the other person, and gave them a discount for their troubles.

Awesome, thank you. I was hoping something like that could be done. And am glad to hear someone else has had luck with it.

Just got this one today:

the shirt shows as having been delivered. I had this delivered to my post office box. supposedly they put the package in a locker, and then the key for that in my po box. But they never put the key i n my po box, so I never got the shirt. The post office says to file a claim, but as I understand it, since you are the one who paid for the shipping, you have to file the claim. can you take care of this, and let me know. Obviously I am hoping to get my money back.

I knew it was pointless, but I was in the post office anyway, so I showed the lady the message. She looked at me like I just grew an extra head, then, "Tell that fool to have his post office give him the key if they have it, that's their problem."

So, I wrote back to the guy, that I went to my post office, they said your post office should handle it, and that I would gladly fill out any form that he might require, but that its basically out of my hands. I can't file a claim for a package that shows it as being delivered.

And now this:
