Alternatives to eBay?
We're looking at replacing our kitchen - the carcasses are literally crumbling and will need to be scrapped, but I want to sell the doors - they were part of our "tarting up" the kitchen when we didn't have money to replace it. They are solid wood (currently painted cream). I was thinking about selling them on eBay but am…

I then tried to switch it on it wouldn't, thought it was the battery, was going to charge it anyway. So charged it, set it up which you can only do with your micro sd card (was…

Hi All I bought a large animal toy through ebay which when listed was shown standing up on its own 4 legs, with a description which said no damage other than a small bit of stitching undone, which was no problem. When the courier dropped it off yesterday it was obvious to see before opening it that the shape was wrong, it…

My daughter bought an item that didn't arrive so opened a case , The seller sent a message saying she had to close the case so they could get the payment and send the item. I sent a message saying the case wouldn't be closed until the item had arrived, it arrived a few days later and the case was closed. We thought that…

Bad form to ask for change of postage method?
Seen an item I would like to purchase, but the postage costs are listed at £8 via Parcelforce 48. I know the item and using the dimensions it would cost less then £4 to send via Hermes. I was thinking of asking the seller if they can send by Hermes, but was unsure whether it was bad form to do so.

Seller Terrible Attutude
It's funny really, I can't sell anything these days on Ebay with 100% feedback rating and good customer service. And yet I buy something from a thriving seller which hasn't arrived, no despatch confirmation and an eventual reply to my second message with the single word "Freeee" in the message. Perhaps a sarcastic way of…

Is Ebay Worth the Effort These Days?
I am sure there have been many similar threads like these, but it would be good to get a 2016 update. I used to be a successful seller in 2006/2007. You listed your item (with shipping charges,) and within hours potential buyers were appearing, and regular sales were made. These days, you don't even charge for shipping,…

Cannot See 'Click & Collect' Option as Seller
Hi I cannot seem to find the Argos 'Click and Collect' option, that I want to offer as a seller. I've been in 'site preferences' and can't find any reference to it there either. My item meets the eligibility requirements, and my rating is 'above standard.' I only sell and handful of items, and am not a 'volume seller.' Any…

How do ebay decide you need to register as a business?
Hi I realise if you are selling clothes in multiple sizes for instance then ebay would eventually ask for an account to change from private to personal, but I'm trying to find out if there's a financial trigger on personally owned items? I have started ebaying (I used to sell odds and ends in the past) but have now sold 62…

Refurbished Tablet
I am thinking about buying a refurbished Surface Pro tablet on Ebay (sold by Argos). What are the implications of doing this? Say I wanted to sell the tablet in two years (to upgrade), then would I have to specify that it was refurbished or would I simply select: "Used". Assuming that my Tablet worked perfectly then would…

Emergency eBay shutdown
What would be the process if you have to go away for some time due to a family emergency so you are not able to dispatch any orders during that time? Is there a way to temporarily shut down shop? I've seen some sellers posting up announcements saying they're away until a certain time, but that still allows orders to be…
