How much detail for best "Item as described"
I've noticed recently, since lots of people have started selling using mobile phones, that there are many items with pretty much no description, or just a basic "This is what it is".

oh to be brave enough to email this: hello xxx, I just wondered why you decided to buy my item xxx on xxx and then just not bother paying? I note you are still using ebay as you have just left feedback for other sellers and have been doing so in the 9 days since you won my item. I also note that since buying my item you…

Another stars rant ...
I'm so cross. I sold a book a couple of weeks ago and offered free P&P to boost stars. I stated the delivery as 2nd class on the listing. Just checked my stars and the buyer has trashed my despatch time stars, even though it is clearly postmark the same day as payment. I now have 4.6 instead of the previous 4.9. I haven't…

Christmas Listings
I am looking for advice from veteran sellers about listing over the forthcoming holiday period. I would imagine the week before Xmas will be very busy with more temporary staff, increased items lost and delays in delivery - all not good news for e-Bay sellers.

Finding jumble sales in Manchester?
I found one last week, but it took a lot of googling- between 10 minutes and half an hour. Then it turned out to be in Altrincham, which was fine, but a good two hours travel by bus, meaning that I missed the start and therefore the very best bargains. There must surely be a few jumbles in Manchester each weekend, but…

I asked him for tracking details…

Selling on eBay
Hi, I've been lurking on this forum for a while, and have found it very interesting, so I've decided to register and take an active part.

Croydon Delivery Office?
Bit of a long shot but does anyone have the direct number to the Royal Mail Croydon delivery office? One that works, where you talk to a human? Internet search is turning up an automated 'one for all' number and the only other one I've found is supposedly the wrong number.
