eBay App & Postage glitch / bug
Be careful making any revisions via the eBay app...

eBay automated feedback gone live
Noticed this morning that I have automatic feedback for items I have sold. Not really a fan of this, if you look at my feedback now the top 9 are identical generic comments.

Options for mispacked eBay parcel

On the tasks section of my seller dashboard (private accounts) I am getting the above message, with the number of listings I need to amend.
