Interesting Group Discussions
included;

New changes eBay is making for top
rated sellers.  Sellers must have a 1 day handling time and  a 14 day return policy,
with a money back refund option in order to continue to receive a 20% discount.  If these conditions are not met, you will still receive the Top Rated Seller Badge, but no discount.

The seller must upload 90% of their tracking
information. Pictures will be free for everyone.

If you are selling a hand bag that looks like a Coach bag you
cannot use the word Coach unless it really is a Coach bag as that would be keyword spamming.

past from somewhere else. The last four digits of a UPC code is the MFG number.
