eBay Picture Rage!
So, I have spent all day listing our weekly delivery on eBay (we are a comic shop and had 150+ listings to upload today). I have discovered that after uploading via TurboLister, half our pictures don't work on the listings. This seems to be because eBay have now decided that pictures should be "between 1000 and 1600 pixels…

How to put this?
Hi all, My OH bought an item on ebay over 4 weeks ago. It never turned up, seller didn't respond to emails enquiring about its wherabouts. My OH raised a dispute, and then escalated it to a claim for item not received which seemed to focus her mind somewhat because she then got in touch. She gave the normal excuses and…

Restricted paypal account to confirm details
My hubby had his Paypal account restricted on Monday. After the last declutter of our loft, garage and hobby rooms, it seems he has gone over his limit. This has not been run up quickly - it appears it's the amount of money paid into his account during the last 12 months. They think he is running a business and want him to…

Can I auction my botox service on ebay?
Strictly speaking I know you're not allowed to do this. In fact, legally I'm not allowed to mention the actual word BOTOX in any paid advertising. However, there are ways around this by describing it as 'muscle relaxing injections and treatments for facial lines'. Just wondered if ebay would be not so keen and I'd get…

Second Chance Offer and combined postage
I've received a Second Chance Offer for a top I bid on. I was just wondering how does this come about, i.e. what did the top bidder do to back out from the sale? Or, indeed, what did the seller do? Also, I bought another top from the same seller a couple of days ago, which I paid for yesterday. Is it reasonable to ask for…

Tracing Buyer
Can I ask another question of you helpful peeps please? 17th August I posted a low value item. A week or so later the buyer emailed me to say she'd moved flat and forgotten to update her ebay address. She was fine and accepted the mistake was hers. This morning the item has been returned to me by Royal Mail. However, I…

If I have something listed with £100 reserve but its…

My private seller account has been suspended "for a minimum of 3 days". Anyone know how long that might be in practice - is it actually 3 days? :confused: My "crime" appears to be leaving someone a (deserved imo) neg, but it appears they have a hotline to eBay :rolleyes:

Alternatives to Royal Mail?
With all the strikes that are going on at the moment, I am wondering if there is a cheaper (or at least more efficient) alternative to Royal Mail for small packages and letters. I'm so sick of things going amiss or not receiving items for weeks. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable, not to expensive service?
