Confusion over nice gesture
Hi, I have sold a few bits on evil bay this week, and after 1 buyer asked for combined postage after the end of an auction I realised that two of the other winners had won multiple items also.

I hate the DSR system
Just run a report, and two buyers have left me 3* for postage and packing charges. I wouldn't mind, but I subsidise alll my postage charges (sometimes by as much as £5) ! I know the answer is free postage, but the majority of my items weigh between 1 & 2 kilos, and building it into the starting price really isn't an option.

eBay Seller not claiming my payment from Paypal?
Not too sure what to do with a recent ebay purchase so I'm after advice if anyone can help. On Monday morning I bought a PS3 console on eBay for a good price, but not an unfair price on the seller. Although if the auction had ended on a busy period rather than 11am Im sure they could have got a bit more for it. I paid via…

I sent the shoes swiftly after payment via Paypal. Six weeks later, yes that's SIX weeks she emailed me to say she would like a refund, the shoes had not arrived and she…

Best way to post item value £100?
Must confess I haven't used the post office in a long while and I'm not sure of my options. I need to return a faulty GPS watch to Southampton, it's worth around £100. The post office website for regular parcels says compensation is £46 max, so is special delivery my best option? It just seems a bit ott as I'm in no hurry.
