Ebay - Can't purchase this item through the app.
Hi. As per the title, a couple of buyers have messaged me to say they are getting this message when trying to buy from me. Has anyone else experienced this and how do I correct it ? Have noticed my sales have tanked over the last week so this is probably the reason.

Promote listing

Ebay 'Best Offer' Option. Does it work for you?

So I decided to give it a try on one or two of my items. I usually start my auctions at the price I am happy to let an item go for to avoid the…

Have eBay stopped doing live chat?

Generally you'd return it but for what it is then it's not really the kind of thing to return through the post (even though I'm more than happy to). So I wanted to chat with them to see what they say (I know some times they just issue you the refund anyway -…

I fully understand why buyers might want to give feedback that could be usefull to other buyers but what can sellers say? Do sellers on here really leave feedback and why? Sorry for the rant, I am sick of it…
