Didn’t know eBay was still a “thing”. They have a market capitalization of $29 billion at the end of 2019 and the company's founder has a net worth of $13.1 billion.

I had to retract a bid once. I think they have a rule that says you can't retract in the last 24 hours, to avoid that kind of mix-up.
I stopped using ebay a while back. I had 400-something feedback so I used it a good bit. But the fees are just stupid.

What do you typically sell on eBay?
I just read a looong article about the scams run by both buyers and sellers on eBay. Some pretty sophisticated stuff.
I’ve bought and sold stuff on eBay and have had only one sour transaction. I’m lucky Most of what I sell is coins & bullion related items. Also any odds & ends that find at garage sales for cheap - comic books, toys, fishing tackle, etc. But it's cool. I can take a break for awhile. Years ago that was my side gig for extra spending money. It would not be unusual for me to have 5000 buy it now auctions running at any one time. Like you I mostly sold "smalls", but the fee and postage increases, and ebay siding with buyers who learned how to work scams, and not allowing negative feedback for buyers made it not worth it anymore. I'm retired but I do still have the small business. I only sell in an antique mall now. I do sometimes buy inventory on ebay, but have not sold there in years. Sucks if they are doing yet another fee increase.

You sell something, ship it with tracking and signature, and then the scammers say they never got it! Then eBay would take you money back and leave you holding less than nothing since you lost your goods, the selling fees, shipping, and the money you would have made.
