Holiday Settings On Ebay App?
Can anyone tell me where to find these please? I've had a good look around, but can't find them. Googling brings up instructions that seem to only relate to viewing the site in a browser, on a PC for instance. I'm using an Android phone if that makes any difference.

Simple Delivery Postage Warning
Hi. I recently sold an item with buyer paying postage (£5.54) and chose not to use the Simple Delivery prepaid label. I did this as I knew the item was heavier than the label cost allowed for and did not want my buyer paying excess postage at the other end. So I created my own label and indeed the postage came to £6.55.…

Automated feedback
So noticed a lot of automated feedback rolling in - I notice it seems to come in around a week or so after delivery, although I assume the buyer still gets the ability to leave their own personalised feedback, and will it overwrite the automated feedback?

Is it not possible to check buyer's feedback anymore?
Till now I have always been able to check buyer's feedback whenever my daughter has sold something. The reason she asks me to check it because on the mobile, it is not possible to check the feedback buyer has left for sellers. It can be done on the laptop but not on the mobile (unless I am missing something???) To me, what…

Income tax on Ebay Sales (again !)
Just about to do a self assessment return for the last tax year. I only sell my own items that I no longer wish to keep OR have replaced with newer versions. (e.g. Technology items). I'm a private seller on Ebay and do not run any sort of business. HMRC have asked me to complete a Self Assessment Tax Return. Not clear why,…

parcelforce lost / delay - Ebay buyer wants a refund
Advice needed on a stressful eBay sale I sold an item on eBay about 10 days ago. I shipped it the same day by dropping it off at the Parcelforce depot, where it was scanned into their system. However, a week later the buyer contacted me saying it hadn’t been delivered, and the tracking still only shows the initial scan.…

I never learn- waiting on a facebook collection -again
Having vowed never to try and give anything away again on facebook - i relented and offered up a small item of furniture that's far too good to throw away, it's also on freegle and similar places. Listing showed lots of photos , full measurements (inches and cms) , a part post code - plus the usual no delivery available.…

Buyer beware! Delivered = Not Delivered

Got a refund a week later. Fine. I guess? Found a different seller, confirmed good date, ordered and paid. 3-5 days deliveryNo…

Shiply not refunding me
I used this site to find a courier. At the point of paying for the courier I ticked that I would also like a protection plan as it seemed to only be roughly an extra £25. It was only once the payment had been processed that I realised there was still a remaining sum to be paid to the courier upon delivery of the item,…

I like to keep a few hundred pounds in my account for buying and to keep my ebay activity separate from the rest of my finances so having that balance paid out is a pain in the !!!!!!. Is there anyway to avoid…

Ebay buyer protection fee is confusing me
I want to sell an item for £99 including buyer fee with free delivery. I work it out that I have to sell the item for £94.52 to get a £99 total. 7% of the item price up to £20 (7% of £20) = £1.40 4% of any portion of the item price from £20 (4% of £74.52) = £2.98 Total buyer fee £1.40 + £2.98 + 10p = £4.48…

Ebay buying an item listed in Euros, paying in Euros?
I recently made an Ebay test purchase: I logged on to Ebay.de from my U.K account to buy an item listed in Germany for sale in Euros. I used a Euro bank card added to my Ebay account. I selected that card to pay in Euros. The final payment taken from my Euro account had increased! It looks like Ebay had converted the…
