BBC news - High Street Store credit notes being sold on eBay
BBC iPlayer clip here - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7482556.stm An expose on credit notes being sold on eBay, generally inferring that shoplifters take stolen goods back to the store, get a credit note, and then sell it on eBay. I do not believe this is the fault of eBay, but more a fault of the law that states…

buying from private seller
My daughter has seen a wedding dress on a website called the dressmarket.net. The person selling the dress says she will accept 900 pounds and won't send the dress to her until she has received payment. Fair enough I wouldn't want to part with it either before getting the money, on the other hand my daughter could send her…

Sold a couple of pairs of jeans yesterday, I've had the buyer demanding a postage reduction (mine were £4.50 1st Recorded. He originally demanded a reduction- he didnt ask, and has been very bullish/ demeaning in his messages..(even though on his auctions for jeans he charges £5 Second class and admitted to making a couple…

What feedback would you leave?
This is a question I thought I'd never ask, because in 6 years on eBay I've never found myself in this situation :cool: I bought a Monsoon brand new with tags, short sleeved cardigan/shrug. It's quite sheer, so I was dissapointed when I received it to find there is an inch long pull on the front of one side and also…

Ebay now require me to offer Pay Pal
I've been selling bits and pieces on Ebay for a few years now. Just logged on and at the end of my auction set up, it says that I now need a PayPal account as I don't use Ebay often enough. I'm sure this is old news to some, but it's the first I'd heard of it! Anyway, is it a pain in the a$$ to set up a PayPal account? If…

The reason why eBay do not have telephone support
Or at least if this telephone call is anything to go by! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zqdetZY71g Not only do the Customer Support send templated emails, it appears that they read from scripts as well. She could have done with practicing it before making calls though!

keel toys, jellycat toys and jellykitten toys- are they worth anything?
I'm trying to have a clear out and found a couple of these toys. I just wondered, are they worth anything or should I just give them to a charity shop? I know they are nothing special, not particularly old or anything but I was just wondering if I should be holding on to them in case they might be worth something in the…

Charity shops-what do they do with the things they can't sell?
I hope I've posted this in the right section, so sorry if I haven't. My question is what do charity shops do with the things they can't sell? Do they pass them on somewhere else or just throw them away? I'm curious as I do give things to charity shops but sometimes I know I give things they probably can't sell in the shop,…

Title should read: What happened to Bowlee Car Boot at Manchester last weekend? Could not edit the title. It was listed as on, on their website but venue was closed when I turned up. Could the upset residents have finally managed to shut down this event? Fancy increasing fees this year and still having only one person…

Can I cut short the NPB process?
I have sold an item to what I believe may be a non-payer, based on their history. Do I have to go through the whole NPB process to recoup the comission on the item or can just make a second chance offer to the next highest bidder now?

"Anti-Sniping Policy" and other unnecessary seller terms.
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that many of the highest bids I receive come in the last minute of a listing. I really do not understand what this seller has against snipers, what happens if they get two high snipes in the last seconds? Will they genuinely sell to the original opening bidder? Likewise, there are still…

Now stupidly,…
