Railway tickets on ebay
We have some advance purchase railway tickets for half term that we now can't use, or get refunded. They cost less than the excess on our travel insurance, so there's no point making a claim. Is it legal/worth the effort to try to resell them on ebay?

Do you have to mail recorded items to the buyers registered Paypal address?
