How long would you wait before sending an email?
Won an item on the 8th, paid on the 9th, but still haven't received it. Seller has a couple of negs for not sending items, then claiming lost in post if the price doesn't go up to her desired price (I won it at 99p, and yes, I knew it was risky with those negs, but it's only £1.99 in total, so not worth crying over).…

Item I sent lost in post, can I get my fees back?
Hiya I sent a low cost item by recorded delivery a few weeks ago and it is still showing as being held in the post office I posted it in, so presumably lost!

eBay seller tried to put price up x10 after auction - help please!
Hi, I recently won an item on eBay for a set of computer equipment. http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170319421963&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:IE:1123 It only sold for 499euros because the seller put it as a "business for sale" rather than computer equipment so I definitely got a bargain, especially as the…

Seller changing terms
I have been searching everywhere for an item, finally found a seller in the US selling exactly what I am after available to the UK, I emailed a question about the item and also asked them to check the postage to UK as it seemed quite high. Seller replies saying they no longer ship to the UK due to 'missing' parcel claims.…

Some people are such skinflints!
I helped out at a jumble sale yesterday to raise money for a local charity. The table I was on had several very nice, leather handbags for sale. They were second hand, yes, but in perfect nick, no damage at all and very smart. I would have thought they would cost at least £5 on ebay or at a charity shop. We had them priced…

Any ideas appreciated!
After a rotten fortnight for sales on E-bay, I decided to try one of my lines with free postage. Obviously I built in postage costs to the Buy-it-Now price. I do sell to Europe and asked bidders to countries other than UK to ask about postage charges. However, I have had a sale to Spain today with the buyer having been…
