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

Anyone here having trouble getting SKUs to print when using bulk shipping?

When I look at my pending orders, I can sort them by SKU

But when I go to the next page to check shipping options and print, SKU is gone as a sorting option- replaced by "Item". The SKU are still showing on each individual item in the list, but when I print the labels, they don't print out.

When I do an item individually, the option to print the SKU is there and already selected, and they print as they should.

Rather than sort, click the "edit" bubble on the top left, you should see the option for "add text on label". Choose "Item title/sku" from the drop down. At least that's where it's been for me for the past couple years, and this morning. Not sure if they are making updates to the page.....possibly.

Thanks, for the tip! Mine has just worked and worked for years too, then one day... it didn't. Now I'm back on track.

Block. Accidentally purchased two of the same tie on separate days, they were shipped and gone before I saw his message. He sent 8 messages of increasing rage over my 'scam' before I even saw his first one. Then he sent 21 more even after I told him, repeatedly, "No problem, we are happy to offer free returns for any reason."

So you pulled the old "Ship on schedule when the customer buys something" scam.

It’s been one of my most lucrative.

At one point, I actually asked the guy if I was being pranked.

Ebay opting users into their new international shipping program automatically even if you don't do international. Just a heads up, make sure you check and opt out if you don't want to do international.

I have a brand new selling mega scam I'm putting together now.

Discounted items, shipped quickly with free returns. This triple scam just might be asking for it.

So easy to change my store name from the-seam-store to the-scam-store too. This should be perfect.

Update: One of the two ties from earlier this week hasn’t been tracking, so this is going to get even more fun, probably.

Ugh, that sucks.

Ummm, do what you feel is right here...The guy appears to use a proxy shipper...

He made a couple lowball offers on an RRL Hoodie, which were auto-declined. I later checked his feedback left for sellers, to find this:
