Thank you for your link. I tried to open it but it shows an error. I called eBay yesterday and I submitted a form to VERO via email and that listing is still active. I emailed the seller asking why he/she is using my pictures and. I response of course. It just discusses me that eBay doesn't do anything about it
I'm seeing news of a huge DDoS attack taking down Twitter, Reddit, Etsy and apparently PayPal.

ETA: Just tried to do a BIN on eBay and could not complete purchase, login to PayPal failed.
That's what I was afraid of. Etsy is down too. Oops, I just noticed you said that! I saw the news after I couldn't log in this morning. They were saying the attack has been fixed but many sites still aren't working.
Thanks! I just came here to check if PayPal was down because I can't check out on eBay and also couldn't get into my PayPal account from the website. I tried to call PayPal customer service to check if it was down but I was on hold for 15 minutes before they hung up. I knew I could get my answer here [emoji4]
I'm sure it will be back up soon. In the meantime I sent a message to the sellers to let them know I will pay as soon as PayPal is back up.
I don't think all the issues have been fixed, the attack appears to be widespread and possibly spreading. I noticed just now that a large percentage of images are failing to load on eBay listings.
I see that problem quite often on ebay. I think they have two or more servers for photos and often at least one of them isn't working. Sometimes it is just the thumbnails on the search.
How long does it take a first class package to get to California or anywhere on the mainland from Hawaii? I bought something and the last time it was scanned was in Honolulu a week ago. I just ordered another thing from Hawaii. I hope that doesn't take as long.
I don't know the amount of time it takes from Hawaii to California but I shipped from Mass. to Hawaii and it took 5 days.
I live in Honolulu and USPS can be a super fast or slow. I sent something Priority and it took 5 days to California. I sent another small package first class mail and it took 5 days to New York. And I've had packages not update until they reached the destination city.
If it doesn't update in a few days you or the seller can open a missing item case on USPS.com and they will investigate where it is.
I have all of my listings Buy it Now. Someone bought something yesterday, but didn't pay. I don't think I have Immediate payment required-is this the reason they could 'buy' it and not pay? The buyer had sent me a few lowball offers which I ignored, and I was considering blocking them but I thought they would just move on.
I can't find any answers on the bay community pages. So is there some rule about how long they have to pay?
Is there any benefit to having Buy It Now listings that don't require immediate payment?
eta-I can't figure out how to change my listings to immediate payment anyways-I'm sure I've seen that option in the past.

They have 2 days to pay, then you can open an Unpaid Item case.
There is no benefit that I can imagine from not requiring immediate payment on BIN.
The check box to require immediate payment is located on the listing form under "Select how you'll be paid." (I don't know if it's the same -- or even available -- on the eBay app.)

Adding to Catbird's reply,
To add immediate payment required to all your BIN listings you can use the bulk editor.
Go to your selling page & tick the box next to each item you want to update,
At the top select "edit" and then select the "payment" section.
Select add IPR to ALL and go through the save processes.
The only benefit I know is when you sell lower priced items; buyers can add several to their cart & pay all at one time and/or if you offer a shipping discount for multiple purchases.
