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…

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…

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…

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…

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?

End of self-service in Post Offices, longer queues
At my local Post Office in Brixton the Self-Service Kiosk (SSK) has been permanently closed. Brixton Ferndale Rd. PO is a major branch which had many self-service options such as Drop and Go and Post and Go. When the queue for counter service was 20 or 40 minutes, you could go to the SSK, which had a separate queue, maybe…

Parcel Label Mix Up
I bought 2 different items with different prices from same seller. However when seller posted them got the labels mixed up, which would not have been a problem had they both been delivered, however one arrived (the cheapest one) but the expensive one is showing as received. I messaged the seller straightaway on opening the…

Vinted - shouldn't they be regulated?
Hi. I am really unhappy with Vinted and asking should Vinted really be regulated. My wife sold four items in two different transactions to the same buyer. One of the items, a porcelain plant pot was damaged. It had been wrapped in bubble wrap and put into a cardboard box. The day that payment was sent to be sent, Vinted…

Vinted & Relay
Hi MSE-ers (First the usual apology if this has been covered - I have browsed and tried to search but not found anything). I sold an item on Vinted recently, and the buyer chose Relay which I had never even heard of before, didn't know it was an option. I found a local shop that does it and sent it off, however the buyer…

Swatch
I see that there are crowds outside Swatch shops, trying to get hold of a £300 watch. I see Swatch watches on eBay with asking prices of £2500. Are they the same watches? Are people really that daft as to pay nearly 10 times list prices?

Vinted ID verification
trying to get my mum verified on vinted so she can withdrawal the £30 she made. The only accepted forms of ID for the UK are driving license and passport. She has neither She is stuck in an endless loop of automated answers and advisors that aren’t actually reading what is being written. Tried the complaint email, which…

buyers casually asking for immmediate dispatch after purchase...
I get this occasionally, I see the note left at checkout "please post asap" etc.. today I saw the sale notification whilst at work so I knew it had sold, but upon returning home from work I see they left a note at checkout, "please post today" so now instead of finding the item, putting it in a box, and creating a label…

How would you handle the feedback?
Pos / Neut / Neg. Aware I can be a bit harsh with people but curious how others would see this one as there's a few factors in my opinion & I'm between neutral & negative. Bought an item from a seller who has over 130k sales. You could get a discount if you buy multiples but you had to add in a tailored message for how you…

Vinted issue fake ray-bans
I bought a pair of new ray-bans on vinted, I really thought they were genuine and very nearly pressed the ‘ok’ button, after I collected them yesterday. Then I did a last check and noticed something odd, on the left arm was written RB4171 CHRIS, but RB4171 is the ERIKA model. The CHRIS model should say RB4187 CHRIS. So I…

Simple Delivery Listing Issue
I am trying to list an Oversized Golf Mat on eBay, however Simple Delivery is restricting me from picking anything larger than 'Medium Parcel up to 10kg'. Does anyone know a way around this?

How does Vinted work with items that haven't sold for a bit?
I'm not looking to pay for any 'bumps'. I'm not convinced my items are going to sell so I'm keeping costs to myself to £0. Listed some items about a week ago. 1 sold but the others haven't generated interest. Will they just be forever searchable or at some point in time am I best off deleting them & re-listing them? Would…

Selling a vehicle on ebay & buyer protection
Some of you regulars will probably know that I don't really have a high opinion of ebay - in that in my opinion they're all for the buyer & don't care much for the seller. The buyer is at the mercy of the sellers honesty & could quite easily lose out. Now that'd one thing when you're selling a pair of jeans that no longer…
