How long for recorded post?
Was just wondering if anybody knows how long it takes for something to be received if the sender was sending out an item recorded post. I bought an item and paid for it within a few mins by paypal last Friday, usually when I pay for something immediately the seller leaves feedback straight away to say prompt payer etc then…
How To Protect Myself When Selling Top-Up Voucher
Hi I have £10 Tesco airtime that is no longer needed. It is type that is printed on a till receipt, with a code to input into the phone. I am aware that it's imperative that I cover the code when photographing the airtime voucher, but how do I protect myself from those buyers (scammers) who might say that the code doesn't…

Help! Unfair Negative Feedback From Suspected Shillbidder
Hi Before bidding on an item, I emailed the seller to ask whether he would agree free collection since he lived a couple of miles away and he did.

Ebay Account hacked
Just logged in to email account connected to my eBay. I have just found out that a third party have gained access. They listed some items which have been removed by eBay. They say my bank and personal details are safe and have not been viewed.
annoying buyer
Sold an Iceberg top of my son's on Ebay recently, genuine article, put measurements on my listing but have now received neutral feedback from buyer stating item too small. I was under the impression that feedback was to state whether service was good or bad and item as described which it clearly was. I emailed the buyer to…
Stocking up for a Christmas car boot
I’ve only just joined MSE and am quickly getting in to all the forums. Earlier today I found a web site that gave me a great idea. Having recently moved house I have ‘some’ but not enough stuff to ‘do’ a car boot sale. If I turned up at a car boot with my current ‘stock’ I’d be laughed at and would probably only make a…
Courier pick-up points?
I sell a few bits and bobs on fleabay and have used payperdrop for a while. I find the prices great and the service has been fine. My only real niggle is the waiting in for the driver or leaving them in the garage and hoping for the best. Does anyone know if you can take the parcel to a depot or other place to send them.…
A rational approach to an irrational issue?

Nike taking me to court! (Hewitsons Solicitors)
Thought I'll open a new thread, so, here it goes! I got a letter from Hewitsons today saying that I should pay £25 per trainer I sold which is above what I sold them for PLUS £350 to settle the claim PLUS a percentage of something. I have sold about 100 pairs and stupid me probably thought they were real as I now know they…

Special Delivery Q
Am i right in saying that when you sent something by Special Delivery you got a sack from Royal Mail to send it in? I can't see anything about it on their website.

I just bought isale (a listing listing tool for macs). I can not believe I wasted my money on this! I created two listings today. It is 10p listing day today. When I wanted to submit the auctions it charges the full price :mad: What is the point of this software if you can't get the discounts? Do we not pay enough?!? Is…

So I went direct to Ebay and typed in the auction details manually but it still tries to charge me the full value! Has anyone got…
