Anyone having an issues withdrawing funds at the moment? I've never had any problem in the past, but today I tried withdrawing, as normal, and upon entering the amount and hitting the withdraw button, it thinks for a few seconds and nothing! Have tried via 2 different computers, and the app - all the same……

I've only just started selling via Ebay since Simple Delivery came into operation, and I can't quite get to grips with it. I'm selling an item that is more than 61cm x 46cm x 46cm, and although I have enabled all four carriers in Simple Delivery (RM, Evri, Inpost and DHL) when I go to select the size of the item for…

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…

Hi Saw add for dij mini 4 pro drone for £352. Contacted seller. All good. Transfered money. Then, nothing. Hw can I get money back pls? Am unemployed and disabled. Tha ks

Hello, I am a small seller and often ship my parcels via Inpost - I have noticed its okay when everything goes well but when it comes to lost parcel Inpost would not entertain any of my claims. Lot of parcels were lost in the past few months and in all instances they ask for one document after another. Even when tracking…

I have had two parcels where the shop staff have not bothered to scan the parcel properly , one gave me the parcel without scanning it out and the other hasn't scanned it in so my parcel has no record on their system and has dissapeared. Relay dont give paper receipts so I would warn everyone to take a picture of their…

hi I’ve sold 2 items to one buyer on eBay, I use evri for postage In my sold section there’s a link for each item sold to get a QR code, so looks like I can’t combine? But I have a email from eBay saying ( Ready to dispatch be sure to group all 2 items). I sold 2 items last week to another buyer (2 separate buys to the…

I listed several very similar items today using a template (10), all scheduled to go live at 17:00. It's now over an hour later and my 'scheduled folder' on eBay is totally empty, but only three of the items are showing as being live. Furthermore, I have only received 3 email notifications about the listings. What's…

I am still downsizing and changing my small business bit by bit and have sold some stock in bulk but I also have 'dead' stock that is basically taking up space I could use for something more profitable, and a lot of that, including some of my never ending supply of books is being offered for free on places like marketplace…

Over the past few weeks, I have noticed about 20 items that have been removed from eBay with the note that they no longer follow their 'sizing policy' I contacted ebay who were slightly helpful As an example, I had a shirt listed, with the size 16", as per the collar label and traditional UK sizing but this is no good now…

Feels like a silly question but is there a cheaper way of sending books to people regularly? Most books seem to fall into the small parcel category at £3.70 for first class, £3.20 for second class. I want to sell my books after I've read them and I was wondering if there is a cheaper way of sending them? Say, about 10 a…

Sold an item for £5 plus £3 postage. Not received. Evri photo "proof" was of the parcel being left on a doorstep of a very different (closed) front door (I can see the correct front door on StreetView). Spent ages going through the complaints and claims procedure, uploading every tiny little thing Evri demanded, and…

returned item to seller as not as described - they paid postage both to and from me - only problem is I have posted the wrong item to them ! question - so do I have to now send them money to post the wrong item back to me ( how ? ) and then pay to send the correct item back ? Would it be worth doing or just cancelling ?…

Hi Guys Happy Friday! I’m keen to get others thoughts on this as it’s eating away at me. At the tail end of June I purchased a top off vinted ; nothing expensive - literally £7 inc fees and postage. The item was sent by the seller and marked as delivered to my house ….. however it never reached me. I contacted vinted who…

This may sound strange .. but anyway, here goes. I usually list as follows (1) Using a template, I write out most of the text on the computer and save it as a draft. (2) I take photographs using a mobile phone ebay app, then save as a draft again (3) Final check on the computer then list it. Today I have listed two similar…

Never had a problem until recently but now 3 royal mail 2nd class large letter jiffy bags have gone missing, this is in the space of a week. The tracking number shows them dispatched and then just in the system now for around 3 weeks. I have put in a claim for the first one after the person who ordered it contacted me and…

Ordered an item last week. Lots of Chinese sellers but chose a UK based one for quicker delivery. Yeah right! Checked in with the tracker & it got sent out 1 week after ordering. Just seems a long time.

hello I bought an item from an ebay seller - theyve used the courier InPost. It was due to be delivered on Thursday. I checked the tracking at 3.30, it was out for delivery. Checked again at 4.30 and it was marked as delivered. It absolutley wasnt delivered - I was in my front garden all afternoon, the courier would have…

Just seen the business price rises for small parcels Oct 26 and am always amazed how expensive it's getting. When I started my small business 19 years ago, it was £1.40 for a small parcel, (although the formats were different) Small Parcels up to 2 kg from Oct 5th: Standard Click & Drop (Retail / No Account): will move up…

As the title says - have just joined and would like to know what others think of it. I've found it a tad confusing so far but am hoping it will get easier with time. One thing that's particularly confusing is that I can't seem to use the app on my phone. It sends me an email link but when I click on it. it logs me in on…
