EBay nothings moving
I’ve been out of action for two months and haven’t been well enough to list anything on eBay. However, since last week I’ve listed one item a day (ladies clothes) and now have 7 listed. It’s absolutely dead, no watchers and barely any views. Is everyone now buying from Vinted?

Advice on Supreme Auctions terms and conditions, before court action
Hello, I recently bought 4 items from a Supreme Auctions online auction. All 4 items are non functional, one item (a Nikon D7100 camera body) is complete scrap. Focussing on the Nikon, I contacted their "complaints portal" and was told to read the terms and conditions, and that no further communication would be replied to.…

7p item works out at £3 on Amazon marketplace?
I wanted to buy a few metres of earth sleeving. It’s £7 for 100m at Screwfix, or £2.95 for 1m at Amazon. I then found a fees estimator on the Amazon website which seems to show that Amazon’s charges to the marketplace seller are £2.87. So, even with a gigantic markup the seller is not making any money. Is my understanding…

How to find financial year sales figures?
Hi all. Last year I was able to go onto the desktop version of eBay and go on the sellers hub, click performance and scroll down to sales and then enter the custom dates for a financial year to get my total sales figures, postage costs etc. I’ve tried recently a few times and keep getting the message ‘There is a problem,…

Rejecting return/refund request as a seller
The listing was for food processor components (bowl, knives, etc) as the main unit has sadly died. The buyer opened a case claiming "the item is not as described" because the main unit is missing. The main unit was never included in the listing in the first place, there was no pictures of it either. The listing clearly…

Royal Mail Compensation - Ebay Sellers
I don’t know if anyone else has encountered this, but Royal Mail are refusing to allow claims for compensation for lost or damaged items if the postage label is purchased through eBay, irrespective of which service is used. You may know as a private seller you have two shipping options, “simple delivery” or “custom…

Item not dispatched
Buyaparcel is a big seller on eBay. They have sold nearly 3 million items. On Wednesday I ordered a Makita tool from them for around £100. I needed it fairly quickly and eBay indicated that delivery would be between Friday and Monday. By Friday there was no indication that it had been shipped, so I messaged them to ask…

RM causing issues again
I'm really getting frustrated at Royal mail as I once again have 2 INRs open, both items sent at the end of January, both LLs. One is a business sale so all I can do is refund the buyer, and because it was a low cost, to me, stock item there's no point in wasting time fighting for a refund from RM so I've lost the original…

New Royal Mail parcel Lockers
I noticed today that a shop near me has a newly installed Royal Mail parcel locker system set up outside. If I sell an item and then get a prepaid RM label via eBay, can I then drop this into the locker ? If so, how please ? I asked at the store but the owner didn't know .. as well as being new, he commented that RM just…

Postage and packaging and using pre-paid labels
Sold a couple of books recently in auctions. They went for £1 each which was what I'd listed them for, so kind of disappointing, but I'd added £2.94 to each to pay for postage and packing. They both went to the same buyer and I printed off the pre-paid label and posted the package. I expected to receive payment for the…

Ebay linked account for payments
HI Everyone, I recently changed bank account so I have swapped over my old account to a new one with ebay so they can pay me for things I've sold. I am a private seller just using it to get rid of stuff I don't need any more. Total sales are maybe a couple of hundred quid per year so not a great deal. Ebay are unable to…

Awful Inpost service
Just a rant, really. I bought an item from Vinted 10 days ago. It was shipped via Inpost 8 days ago. Over that time, it has been out for delivery 4 times before being returned to the sort facility. I guess this is because there are no available boxes at my chosen drop-off point. It is now out for delivery again this…

Issues with Verification for Limited Companies on Vinted Pro
Hello! I'm posting here as I am having issues with Vinted Pro. I got approval quickly to sell on Vinted Pro however now I've hit the payment threshold I need to get verified for myself and my business. After over 20 attempts and over £8,000 being held by Vinted I am getting quite frustrated with the process. Wondering if…

Dodgy ebay sellers!
So I ordered a phone case on 17th May with free next day delivery, when it did not turn up by 20th I complained and now another one has been ordered by ebay and the delivery date is 10th June! The seller says I should cancel but when I tried to cancel but cannot as it is marked posted. How can an item be posted already for…

ebay- buyers 'shopping time' after one purchase.
I've noticed a new thing on ebay (this is on my private account), it appears that buyers can add things to an order if they use Simple delivery. I thought the first time I saw it it was a glitch, but it's just happened again. Buyer offered on something and I accepted, item was paid (possibly under immediate payment…

Temu Selling
There's a growing number of UK based sellers on Temu. I initially started because someone was selling copies of my own brand products on there. I had them removed and saw they'd had sales so went for the "if you can't beat them join them". It's for pro sellers so quite a tricky process to get on there to sell products and…
