I have recently started a new ebay account. I have listed an item that sold but the customer didn't want to pay shipping fees after they clicked on pay now.... I went ahead and sent the customer an involice for $25.00 plus $20.00 shipping fees. When the customer relized that shipping wasn't included they asked for there money back. I believe ebay took the money back out of my paypal account and returned it to the customer. I went ahead and paid for the shipping using my paypal account in the amount of $20.00.... How can I cancel the shipping fee and get my money back? Is there a number I can call?

To end a listing early and cancel all bids or sell to the high bidder:

1. Go to My eBay > Selling and find the item.
2. From the More actions drop-down menu, select End My Listing Early.
3. If there are bids on your item, choose how you want to end your listing.
   • If there are 12 or more hours before the end of the listing, select Cancel bids and end listing early or Sell item to high bidder.
   • If there are fewer than 12 hours before the end of the listing, your only option is Sell item to high bidder. Note: If your item has no bids, you can skip this step
     
4. Select the reason you're ending your listing early and click End My Listing.

Firstly, spend some time researching similar products on eBay and follow their bidding process. This easy step will ensure that you are able to understand and gauge interest in your product, and help you to determine a fair - and profitable - price. In addition, you can always find ways to improve the way you market your product by finding small flaws in your competition.
The more time you spend perusing the site the more prepared you will be to start selling on eBay.

Another suggestion to take into consideration is to learn all about shipping. As the seller, you have control. Some methods are clearly better than others, so you need to find the best one - taking cost and reliability into account. While shipping is not the most integral part to selling on eBay, a little bit of time spent learning about it will take you a long way.

Once your strategy for selling on eBay is in place, it is time to focus on appealing to the most potential customers - and turning them into buyers. In ecommerce, a picture really is worth a thousand words. Consumers truly do like to see things before they click the "buy" button. In order to be a successful seller, make sure you can obtain the most professional photographs of your product.

Hi,

FIrst you need to check your site preference if you allowed the buyers to edit the payment totals, if it is set up as yes you will need to disable it.

well, the buyer should pay whatever amount of shipping that you have placed in your listing. If the buyer will fail to do so, you can report this to Trust and Safety by using the link below
http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_us/_base/result_3_6_10.html
click the email us link at the bottom

It will be your discretion on what you can do about the buyer, you can issue refund and then add the buyer in the block bidder buyer list. Unfortunately, this buyer can still leave you negative so please do be careful in dealing with this type of buyer. You can grant the buyer's wish to cancel, file a cancel transaction and you will get the final value fee credit.

In the future, you may want to add a shipping table in your item description so that buyers will see it before they purchase your item.

I hope this helps you a little.

Hi carla410,

Depending on whether or not the seller uses eBay checkout, the steps to complete payment are different. If your seller does not use eBay checkout, they will send you an invoice or other payment instructions to help you complete your purchase.

To pay for an item when the seller uses eBay checkout:

1. Link your PayPal and eBay accounts, if you haven't already done so.

2. After you've won an item, click the Pay Now button. You can find this button in the listing, in the Purchase History section of My eBay, and in the confirmation email that you receive from us.

3. Check your shipping address. If any information is incorrect, click the Change shipping address link to update it. (The seller may require a credit card billing address registered with PayPal, sometimes called a confirmed address.)

4. Confirm the order details, including shipping and taxes. Click the Continue button. (If you have questions about the total cost, click the Request total from seller link.)

5. Select PayPal as the payment method.

6. Enter your PayPal log in information. If you don't already have a PayPal account, you can sign up.

7. Make sure that your shipping details, payment method, and order details are correct.

8. Click the Confirm Your Payment button to complete your purchase.


To link your PayPal and eBay accounts:

1. Click My eBay at the top of most eBay pages.

2. Click the Account tab.

3. Click the "PayPal Account" link on the left side of the page.

4. Click the Link My PayPal Account button.

5. You'll be asked to log into PayPal to finish linking your accounts.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Instructions
Photos of the Car Amp
1.Take a photo of the car amp you are going to sell. Make sure you take your photo in good light and close up. If there is a physical problem with the car amp, be sure to include another close up photo of the problem area.
2.Size the photo of the car amp using a photo editing program. Make sure the photo is cropped correctly and that everything you want seen in detail is seen. Crop out any extra background that is not needed.
3.Upload your digital photo to your web host or a site like Photobucket. Write down or copy and paste the photo url you will use in your car amp auction.
Setting up the eBay Auction
1.Log into your eBay account and click on the link for eBay motors. This section of the site is the best place to sell the car amp. Click on "Sell" and then "Sell Your Item" and decide if you want to sell at an auction or fixed price.
2. Choose the category. The best category to sell a car amp would be Parts and Accessories--- ar Audio and Video---Amplifiers. Click on "Continue" and type the title. The title can be the name brand of the car amp and can include any other information you wish up to 55 characters. Use the drop down box to choose the item's condition as new, used, or remanufactured.
3.Type in your description of the car amp in the box provided. Using HTML, you can include colored text and formatting in your description. Be sure to include all the information you can think of about the car amp-the brand name, the wattage, the size, anything you think a customer may like to know. Preview your description when finished to make sure it's correct, then click "Continue".
4.Price the car amp. If you are selling at an auction, you have the choice of what price to begin the auction. If your research has shown that $0.01 auctions have done well and gotten a good price, then start there. If you would rather not start at $0.01 and make sure you get something for your car amp, then start the auction a little higher, even as high as the price you are hoping to receive for it. If you are entering the car amp for a fixed price, you would enter the price in the box shown. Choose the duration of the auction. Seven days is the default choice..
5.Designate how many items you have. If you have more than one car amp and you want to be paid for each one, then enter the amount of amplifiers that you are selling. They will be sold one at a time. If you would prefer to sell a group at once, say a group of five, then you will click on "Lots" and enter that you have one lot with five pieces.
6.Type or copy and paste the picture url your hosting site into picture area. If you want the picture to be on the search results, you can choose the gallery option for a fee. Scroll down the page and click "continue"..
7.Choose the payment method. Paypal is the most popular and anyone selling on eBay should be using it. Type in your Paypal email address so you will receive the payment when the car amp is sold.
Finalizing and Previewing the eBay Auction
1Enter your shipping fees. You may want to ship to your home country only in order to avoid costly shipping and customs problems. To change the places you ship to, click on the boxes next to the country names to choose them. Don't charge a lot for shipping, but do charge enough to cover the actual shipping and packing material as well as your time spent packing and mailing.
2.Specify a return policy, such as refund within 30 days after return of the car amp. Under payment instructions, repeat once more the types of payment you accept and how they can send it to you. Click "continue".
3.Preview your auction and make sure it looks the way you want. At the bottom of the screen you will see your listing fees. Click "submit listing" and the auction for the car amp you are selling is finished.
Payment Receipt and Shipping of the Car Amp.
1.Payment for your sold car amp will go directly to your PayPal account. The customer's shipping address will be included with the PayPal information.
2.Prepare the car amp for shipping by using foam cut outs, sturdy boxes and other packing materials such as foam peanuts or shredded newspaper.
3.Pack the car amp securely within the box. Include a copy of the paid invoice, and write a thank you note to your customer. Tape the box, address it to the customer's address and ship it from your nearest post office.
4.Pay your eBay fees after the car amp has been shipped to your customer, and the rest of the money is yours to keep.

Go to http://ebay.com and click on the the heading SELL in the upper right. This is a pull down menu. I suggest that you read each heading through to familiarize yourself with selling. You will read how to open an account, how to pay your fees, how to receive payment for an item and how to list an item, post a phot etc.. Ebay has a great selling system and easy instructions to follow.

Good luck to you and Thank you for using FixYa.

Hi there!
Once your item is sold, the system will generate a fee for that which is called the final value fee. It is a percentage eBay took for successful completed listings but it will be taken away in your bank or credit card at the end or mid of the month depending on your billing cycle. (please check your invoice in the Account tab, right side invoices)
But if the shipping cost is not included in the invoice sent to the buyer, check your listing and make sure that you didn't choose free shipping. If your shipping calculator is set but the buyer paid no shipping cost, you can then ask the buyer to pay for it. You can send the buyer a manual paypal invoice.
Here's how you can create a manual invoice using your PayPal account:


1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click Request Money.
3. Click Create a Money Request or Create an Invoice.
4. Enter the required information.
5. Click Continue.
6. Review the information and click Request Money to send a money request or Send Invoice to send an invoice.

You can also ask several people at the same time. Just enter their email addresses, separated by commas.
I hope this helps. Have a great day!
