I blogged it a month ago, but I know I spent a good few days before that wondering if it was me, or my buyers. I know, at this point, you’re hoping I’m going to say it’s fixed, aren’t you? Ooh, you little optimist! It ain’t fixed yet. But at least they made an annoucement about it. So that should reassure the buyers who think I’m trying to get rich by “ripping them off” a quid at a time on their postage. [...] [...] How long ago was it we first noticed that Checkout wasn’t working properly? I blogged it a month ago, but I know I spent a good few days before that wondering if it was me, or my buyers.

The problem began some time over the weekend, as items with cleared Paypal payments were showing either as “payment pending”, or not showing as sold at all in both SMP and My eBay. For once, eBay have put out an annoucement about the problem, confirming they’re aware of the issue and are working to resolve it. Let’s hope it’s sorted a little more quickly than the still-ongoing problem with Checkout’s postage prices, but in the meantime, sellers should cross-check their eBay sales against what’s in their Paypal account to avoid missing payments.

Hopefully the changes once fully rolled out will fix (and are the explanation for!) the huge checkout problems from the last month.

I place the blame solely on the new CTO who came over to eBay from Wal-Mart. eBay seems to develop its applications on the fly. The damage done from a seemingly simple glitch can put major financial pressure on a small business. eBay, in my view, should spend some of that $3 billion in cash they have in the bank on fixing the problems with the eBay platform.
