And on maybe a dozen jewelry items - must just have been NARU'd.

first sales should be small - under $10 - until you get experience

big items - make them buy it nows with immediate payment required, paypal account required.

set your profile to block overseas bidders

According to that NARU bidders details, they have bid in the last hour

alitheadesign payment notifications by e-mail don't count. They are easily faked. Go by your paypal account
Posted by   ( ) on Feb-09-10 at 07:07:32 PST   Listings
alitheadesign - NO - file non-paying bidder. The email was probably a scam fake.

bdl - of course, but if you want to sell turnips, you put out a sign that says, "TURNIPS" - not "VEGETABLES MAYBE" and then put them underneath the counter.

rdhinmn I think they go to the first page of "contact us", see the list of questions and don't find the live help button on that first page. They don't bother to type in a question or click more options. Either of those will get live help or a phone number
Posted by   ( ) on Feb-09-10 at 06:38:07 PST   Listings
Seems a lot of people do not recognize "Contact Us" as a portal to Live Help - one of their worst moves.

mitey12345 - they still have the online help - To get Live Help go up to the Help box, top right on any eBay page, and click it. On the screen you get, use the Contact Us button. If your browser supports it, you will get a live help screen or a phone number, depending on your problem, or might be told to use webforms. Turn off any pop-up blocker if it is a help screen. It may be a wait, so stick with it.

it seems ebay makes things more difficult day by day instead of making things easier. it used to be you could go to them for help in one of two ways. you could either go to "online help" and chat online with a person that knew SOME of the answers OR they used to have a phone number available to you IF you had a store.
I just wasted 20 minutes and have not been able to find EITHER of these, HELP!!!! Thanks in advance, John

babygaptwins: You need to go to options and mark the countries you do not ship to just putting that statement in your auction description means nothing.

File and Unpaid Item Dispute to try and get the FVF refunded and relist the item AFTER you change the options to ship ONLY to the countries you will ship to.

I am having an issue with another member and can't figure out how to deal with it. This member won an auction of mine and lives in Germany. I don't ship international. Someone asked me about shipping to Germany before the auction ended and I told them I only ship within the US and I posted it on my auction page so everyone could see it. I have told her multiple times that I don't ship international. Her last message said Thank you for your answer, I can't understand why you won't ship the shoes to Germany, now please send me the invoice so I can pay. ??? What do you do with someone like that. I open a case so I could cancel the transaction and get my final value credit fee and she of course denied it. How do I get my credit from this sale and avoid her leaving me negative feedback
