Buyer demanding refund
I sold a pair of brand new without box (clearly stating this in the description and title) if converses that had been customised by myself. I've been doing customising for a few years and have used the same glue on hundreds of pairs never a problem never has one fallen off in transit. Well this evening I got a message from…

A rare thanks
PayPal did something nice! They ran a promotion on Good Friday where they doubled any donations to people running the London Marathon (up to £25k). I don't often say this, but: "thanks, PayPal" :beer:

Technical Paypal Question (Ebay)
Hi, I've had my Paypal & Ebay accounts for years, mainly for buying, occasional clearout selling of personal items. A while back, my bank account was unlinked from Paypal (by Paypal, apparently as - eek - there wasn't enough money in my account to pay for an item, not sure what happened there as I do endeavour to allow for…

How to detect shill bidding
I spotted some very strange bidding earlier today.... Notice the third bid down on this item: a bid strangely of not a rounded up price point (e.g. £25) or just above (e.g. £25.01), but just under the £25 price point. http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=160997126800 Notice…

Be carefull if using the ebay postage estimator.
Just a warning that apart from having to get your head around zone 1/zone 2 ect the prices for airmail are not where they normally are. If you select europe the top result is airmail price with surface below. If you then switch to zone 1 they swap places and surface mail is on top. I swear it didn't do that before the…

Why do eBay make it so difficult?
This evening I won an auction for something I've been after for a while, at a really good price, so I eagerly paid by paypal. A bit later, I noticed that the paypal payment was pending, so I went and had a look, and it said payment unclaimed. This seller hadn't sold anything for about 4 years (which probably put off a lot…

Item not received - buyer delaying?
I bought an item that's not turned up. I've been in contact with the seller who has advised she didn't send it tracked or recorded. It was dispatched on the 14th March. I've not opened a case yet as the seller is responding well. However, I think I've waited long enough, she wants me to wait another week. I'd really like…

Ebay - 'New' Items
Wasn't sure whether to put this on the Praises and Rants (or whatever it's called!) board or here but as well as a rant, it's also hopefully a discussion stimulator amongst MSE Ebayers. I'm fed up with and bemused by sellers (I mainly buy but occasionally sell) who describe things as 'New' when they are CLEARLY NOT…

Negative with no previous contact - chances of getting it removed?
Hi, I'm hoping some of the experienced sellers might be able to give me some advice. I sold a beauty bundle with 4 full size and 17 sample sizes, all the sizes of the products eg 4ml were included in the listing when they were provided on the packaging. My buyer paid quickly after auction ended and I posted the next day…

Is this right?
I posted a question about a seller not refunding an item that was never received. I have open a case and this is their response. Does this sound right? Thanks a lot Vicky Seller's message: 'Dear Customer, Unfortunately we have to have a completed lost parcel claims form from the customer before we can issue a refund or a…

Payment 'Unclaimed'
Argh, it never rains, it pours with eBay purchases at the moment. Paid via PayPal on Thursday, immediately after auction ended. Payment said 'Unclaimed', PayPal advised me to cancel the transaction, which I did and got my money back on Saturday. I've sent an message every day through eBay to the seller, letting them know…

I want to list a cassette linguaphone course RM want £8.00 for 2nd class or £9.10 with a signature but ebay listing says I can charge up to £4.50. Will offer cash on collection but that's unlikely. Any thing I can do to change that? I only have a once a year clear out so no account with a courier.
