I was looking for black Valentino rockstud flats now, so I put Valentino Rockstud in search, then chose "flats" category and color "black", and it showed me ONLY Valentino Rockstud black flats! I am surprised lol, cause it used to show tones of crap that has nothing to do with my request. Did they finally fix their search engine?

I agree, it seems that search has improved just recently. Whatever I look for appears in first three pages. I keep giving them search feedback.
also someone wrote that they finally found a particular leather jacket in my closet, that would be impossible if search doesn't show items correctly.

girls, can pls someone advice paid authentication service? Just figured out that Carol Diva doesn't authenticate the brand that I need, and it's a pity cause I like how quickly she answers and it costs only $7. authenticate4you can ignore requests for weeks, lollipuf takes too much for it and ***************** has too many negative feedbacks everywhere. don't know other options

I recently authenticated a bag with both CarolDiva and *****************, both charged $7. I had to bug AF, it took 4-5 days with them, CD responded in 2 days.
BTW Authenticate4U never responded, I emailed them for 3-4 weeks. I think they are out of buz.

Yes, I've sold a good amount of shoes and dresses on there. But their customer service is not the best. I am currently waiting for them today end me a shipping kit to send and item out and they send me emails saying I better ship my item before I loose the sale. I told them I never received the shipping kit. They are unorganized.

I think it is a waste of time and money to wait for the shipping kit. As a buyer, I hate waiting so long for my package.

Have you searched for jewelers that specialize in this? I would think they would be the only reliable authenticators for high end jewelry. They could tell if the stones were genuine and the markings are correct and identify real gold or plated. Good luck.

This is a good idea. There are so many fakes at all price points that it is nice to authenticate prior to purchase, but I do know that I can send in a purchase to VCA to have the item polished for ~$200 and they check authenticity at the time of the service of course. I really like your idea; I think I could search online for jewelers who sell VCA and see if they would be willing to authenticate for a lower fee than $200. Thanks!

So as an aside - Ebay sent this form around to oppose new legislation that the greedy politicians now want to charge sales tax on everything bought and sold over the internet which whether you are a buyer or a seller - you'll want to oppose.

It's only for New York State buyers. I'm surprised California hasn't already done this. Many sellers won't sell to people within their own state for this very reason, but New York is overstepping what most states do, which is require the seller to collect sales tax from buyers within their same state. Technically any buyer who makes out of state purchases is supposed to pay sales tax to their state, but not many do.

ETA: I thought this was already tried by another state and it was shot down. How can New York state impose their law over a company in another state?

Unfortunately, they try to do in Maryland too. not at state level yet, but at local tax offices. I occasionally receive tax bills for MD sales tax for items purchased from UK. I have to fight back, especially when I return these items. I already got two or three notices like this over last year. I do pay a lot of taxes via Nordstrom, Yoox, Amazaon, etc. who collect local sales tax.

How does Maryland know about your purchases from the UK?

Amazon has been doing this for a while.

Amazon had a big dispute with the state of California and eventually they capitulated. I pay sales tax when the items are fulfilled by Amazon or when the associate is in California. I don't pay sales tax when the seller is in another state. The New York legislation goes further than this, expecting the marketplace to collect sales tax for the state of New York even when the individual seller doesn't have a physical presence in New York. Ebay would be required to collect these taxes if they wished to do business with New York residents. The individual sellers wouldn't be involved.

As I mentioned before, I sold two items to the same buyer, but not on the same day. The second item was delivered 2 days after the first. On the third day of the second sale, I noticed that the item was going to be returned as the "your earnings". The fourth day of the first item passed but my money wasn't released. Today, it has been 12 days since the first item was delivered and just now the "your earnings" disappeared from that sale. So it sounds like they allowed the buyer to initiate a return after the 4 day window passed. What really irks me is this buyer bought something from me almost a year ago and also returned that item. There is something fishy about this buyer. All her purchases from me were scarves, so it isn't like they didn't fit.
