Over the past few years, you've gone above and beyond to provide the products and services buyers expect—and your efforts are paying off. With this, the second update of 2012, the focus is squarely on you. These updates will help you reach more of the fast-growing legions of ecommerce buyers drawn to eBay—this holiday season and beyond—and make your selling easier and more profitable.
New protections and rewards New safeguards to keep a fair marketplace for sellers. Updates coming to eBay protection programs will benefit and protect you. Buyers must contact you first through My Messages in My eBay before opening a Buyer Protection case starting in February to make sure you have the opportunity to resolve issues before eBay gets involved. Buyers will be required to wait three business days for you to respond and resolve the issue before they have the option of opening a case. Open cases will no longer count. Also starting in February, having a case opened by a buyer will not be counted toward your performance rating—only those cases that are not found in your favor will be counted. Reporting buyers who misuse the system is now faster and easier. Starting in October, a more accessible and enhanced reporting hub will make it easy for you to contact eBay directly to report buyers who violate eBay policies. New Top Rated Plus seal highlights top services. The percentage of all eBay purchases that are from Top Rated sellers with tracking uploaded on at least 90% of their US transactions—and include 1-day handling and a 14-day or longer money-back return policy—is growing rapidly. To help these listings stand out even more, starting in September, they will be highlighted with a new Top Rated Plus seal. The current Top Rated seller badge will be retired. New ways to showcase your items, boost sales Maximize the power of eBay Fast 'N Free. When the eBay Fast 'N Free logo shows up for a buyer on listings, it delivers a solid boost in sales. For the logo to appear, you have to offer free shipping and the item must be estimated to arrive within 4 business days based on your item location, your buyer's location, your track record, and your carrier's track record for those locations. Starting the week of September 24, you'll be able to check your seller dashboard to see how many of your listings are qualifying for the eBay Fast 'N Free logo and how it's helping your sales. More selling power for your listings Sell more with more pictures! As of October 31, all listings will be required to include a picture. Other picture quality requirements originally announced in February will take effect in 2013 to give you more time to adopt: minimum 500 pixels on the longest side, no added text or borders, and no stock photos as the main image for used items. Item condition notes set the right expectations. Starting the week of October 22, you'll have an optional new field to put details about the condition of your used items and have them displayed near the top of the item page where buyers are more likely to read them. This will help reduce both buyer questions and issues with buyer claims that an item is not as described. Show your item location. Seeing a valid location in a listing inspires buyer confidence. Also starting the week of October 22, when you enter your valid zip code, your city and state will be automatically added to your listing. Ending Auction-style listings early. Ending an Auction-style listing once it has a bid leads to disappointed shoppers who may be less inclined to bid on auctions the next time around. Starting October 1, a fee will be charged for ending an Auction-style listing early. Boost sales with multi-variation listings. Selling different variations of an item in one multi-variation Fixed Price listing saves you money on fees, makes listing faster and easier, and encourages buyers to buy more. Starting in October, you'll have more listing options—for example, easily add pictures for different variations and add a new variation to active listings, even those with sales. Later this year, you'll have a new feature to identify your existing single variation listings and convert them to one multi-variation listing. More communication power in My eBay Messages. Now you can attach up to five pictures through My Messages to help close the sale. Category, item specifics, and catalog updates are now consolidated with other updates that may affect your selling. For many sellers these changes will mean reduced fees. Some categories are also being eliminated. |

Ebays rules removing the discount sucks. Really hurts people with unique items. Collector items etc.
Fact is, I just wrote off the 20% I receive with this all went down.

I love their unrealistic shipping and handling times.
I am now forced to upload a DC # the day the person pays but I may have to sit on it for 3-4 days before I can ship. |

Or, you could print postage when the buyer pays for their item. You wouldn't have to wait 3-4 days. Most payment are immediate now unless the person pays by e-check. |

I need to get a printer so I can print the slips. Save on shipping too. My concern though is how do I know how much shipping will cost? I don't specify Priority or First Class in my auctions I just say economy. If it costs more than economy but less than what they paid, I will send it priority but I like having the choice and knowing what it is so I don't get slammed on shipping. |

You NEED to be able to print postage at your home office. You save so much $$ and time. I never wait in line and I can print postage anytime I want.
