Can you extend an eBay auction?

No, that is not possible. An eBay auction can run for 1,3,5,7 or 10 days, but once you have made the selection and submitted your listing, the duration cannot be extended.

Does a seller on Ebay have to sell his item when the auction is over?

Yes. You have to sell your item to the high bidder at the end of the auction unless you set a reserve price and that price is not met. Another instance is if the person who won the item did not read your terms. For instance maybe you do not ship overseas and the person lives in Italy. If that is the case then the buyer broke the rules and you do not have to sell your item to him. what!!

Where can I buy an M-17 gas mask that can be shipped to Australia- Sellers on eBay and online shops only ship within US?

The reason for this is because it's illegal to export such items without first acquiring authorization under ITARS (International Traffic in Arms Regulations). ITARS applies not only to arms, but also to firearm components, military materiel, and dual use technologies, and requires an end user agreement for export. It's a rather complicated process, and really more hassle than an Ebay seller is willing to go through to ship on protective mask.

If you have any military surplus shops in your area, you'd be better off to check there, or even consider non-US made protective masks, which you might find more accessible.

What is the item number on eBay and where can you find it?

The eBay item number is always a twelve digit number and is always marked as being the item number.

You might need to hunt around the listing to find it because they do tend to move it around whenever the page is revamped, although it is normally somewhere towards the top of the item listing page. Currently, it is at the top of the description, immediately above the item specifics section.

What is the Most searched items on eBay?

EBay Pulse is a good tool to use and find out the keywords with the most number of searches by buyers. Go to eBay Pulse at http://pulse.ebay.com to see the top ten most popular searches. The most popular searches are also given for each category.

Can you purchase GE or Westinghouse Christmas lights the old kind with the company logo on the bulb anywhere besides eBay?

Your best bet is flea markets, yard sales, and even estate sales. A LOT of these lamps (I'm guessing you mean the C7 style) were manufactured and sold from the 1950s through the 1980s. The best examples had the color coating on the inside of the bulb.

Good Luck!

Do eBay deliver on good Friday?

eBay itself doesn't ship or deliver anything. Shipping is done through services such as UPS, FedEx, or the U.S. Postal Services. Whether anything is delivered on certain holidays depends on the companies' policies.

Is it safe to buy on eBay?

On eBay, you are able to purchase, bid, or watch an item that you want to buy. When doing this, it's good to have a PayPal account. Otherwise, you can use your credit or debit card. You must be very careful, though nothing has happened to me on there.

Some things might not be safe, while others are trusted sellers. Sellers have a star with a small or big number. The highest in feedback they can have is 100% Feedback. That means they have no negative comments. Go through PayPal, and your transaction will be protected.

Usually it is safe, but I have had a small number of purchases that were very frustrating as the product arrived defective or damaged and in one case the seller actually claimed that I had damaged the product deliberately (which I clearly would never do) and refused to refund any of my money until I had eBay intervene... then I still lost more than half of what I had spent without having a usable product (this seller still has a 100% feedback as I declined to rate him at all).

Can you get a beaver on eBay?

Only if someone is cruel enough to put one on eBay ad ship it through the post.

Does eBay change on black Friday?

Yes they change on. They give many offers on that day.

Will Paypal charge you if you do online jobs and get paid through Paypal?

I'm pretty sure PayPal would charge your employer, anytime a person sends money to another person their the one who pay's the fee.

Will the eBay toolbar work with Mac?

As yet there is Mac version of the eBay toolbar it will only work with computers running the Windows operating system. There is a version of Firefox for eBay trading available for the Mac (See links below).

I bought an item from eBay and it cannot be shipped to my country I paid but I don't think he'll give me a refund help?

I think you should ask refund from him, if he refuses, you can complain with ebay.

Most sellers on EBay are honest people who are trying to provide a service, but there are always a few bad apples. Always check the sellers feed back before buying anything to see how they handle disputes.

If you have a friend in a country where it can be shipped to, this is an option.

If you can't receive the item you purchased, he should not be entitled to keep your money. But! It is not the sellers fault the item can't be delivered - so the most fair way to handle this may be to compromise - ask for a refund but offer to allow the seller to keep a restocking fee. If the seller has already mailed the item - he is out the amount paid for shipping - he is entitled to be paid for shipping (if his money was spent). If the item has been mailed, you may have to wait for him to get the package back, before being refunded - which may be some time.

I haven't used EBay since they made all the changes - but seller-buyer feedback was very important to most sellers. If he does not respond to your email and he refuses to compromise - let him know you made your purchase in good faith and you have no choice but to give him very negative feedback if you do not hear from him in 24 hours ( or whatever seems fair to you.)

EBay has a complaint process, also if you paid by Pay-Pal you should contact them too.

If you paid by credit card you may be able to get a refund from your CC company if all else fails, they will at least freeze the payment to the seller until you reach a compromise.
