Trouble collecting an ebay purchase!
I bid for and won an ebay auction collection item last Tuesday. I paid by paypal (as per seller's terms) and asked for the seller's address to arrange pick up, suggesting any evening, pref. asap. The seller replied that he wasn't available until the weekend and would decide at the weekend. Then yesterday (Saturday) late…

Going to list a Next refund card on Ebay- Any issues need to look for?
I have a Next refund card of £35. I took a unwanted gift back last year. Prefer to sell the card for less cash, as nothing I want in there, nor likely to shop there. Yesterday I went in store. I got Next to test the card was still vaild and it all ok. It's the card with a code at the back (still intact), you rub off for I…

4 month old bed base collapsing - action?
Hello, I am going to message an ebay shop/seller who I bought a divan bed base from on 19th Feb (for £209). This base is now just about 4 months old and is completely collapsing on one side. The boarding (which looks more like cardboard rather than a chipboard/wood) is caving in over the drawers. This bed was my daughter's…

Luck of the irish..
Silly woman.. She bought something from me at 3am 2 days ago clearly believing that despite saying "UK buyers only" that she could still order from ireland and waste my time - despite having a UK postal address that I would have willingly sent to (one of those forwarding at customer cost companies). So today i send an…

Amazon Gift Vouchers
Hi, I have 3 birthdays coming up. All 3 friends use Amazon. 1 is in the UK so that's fine. 1 is in Europe and 1 is in America. I've never used Amazon myself. If I buy them all gift vouchers, can I buy them in Pounds and have them converted to Euros and Dollars? Do I just go on to Amazon and do it from there? Sorry, I don't…

Strange people
Sold an item on ebay - collection only. Heard nothing from buyer for over a week so contacted them asking when they were picking said item up. They claimed they never bid on it as they do not drive! They actually did pay for it through pay pal. What do I do now?

Buyer claims he received a different item
A friend of mine who doesn't have much spare cash decided to sell a smartphone on eBay. He used a tracked service and knows the item was delivered. The payment was held by PayPal "due to the nature of the transaction". The buyer has now opened a dispute and is asking for a refund because he says he received a watch not a…

Refund of goods bought in Israel
Evening, I bought something off Etsy for ~£2000 from Israel using Paypal. The price stated "VAT included (where applicable)". But VAT wasn't included and i had to pay a £400 customs charge. There's no fault with it but it didn't live up to what I expected so I want to return it. "We offer a 30-day return policy so our…

Ebay vouchers
Got an email with a £10 voucher saying minimum spend £20 using paypal etc. Does the minimum spend include the voucher, i.e. could I buy something for £20 and reduce it to £10 or do I need to spend £30. The t&c's in the email aren't clear and I'm sure I've fallen foul of their t&c's before.

Paypal and Non Receipt Dispute!
Hi all, Last January I sold an item on Ebay and it was listed for UK only but I was asked by someone in Moscow if I would post it there. After a lot of discussions with this person we decided that he would pay through Paypal but off Ebay to save on fees. And he would pay for shipping but he would only pay for cheapest…

Why would a seller do this?
Just looking at some furniture and saw this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Upcycled-decoupaged-wardrobe-/152585387898?hash=item2386cc3f7a:g:-CsAAOSwrfVZQRc1 How would he be able to send these large items free of charge using a courier? What am I missing here?

Safest way to refund a cash on collection item?
Last week, we sold a fully working dishwasher for £5, collection only. Buyer arrived, paid cash, drove away. As there was no PayPal transaction, we marked the dishwasher as payment received. This morning, he's sent a very disgruntled email, saying it's burned out, and his entire kitchen smells of smoke. He wants a refund.…

How's Ebay these days?
A semi-personal thread. I've not sold on Ebay for over 2 years now, relying on Amazon and my website. Amazon works really well for me but website is dwindling a bit. I've found in the past that getting Ebay customers to my website is easier than getting Amazon ones. With that in mind I'm about to restart a few products on…

strange ebay warning
I've just had a generic warning (not targeted) about a listing that I was about to list stating firearms or anything liable to cause harm is not allowed to be listed on ebay and that breaching these rules may result in the loss of my account and that I should review my listing and edit it before going live. I've reviewed…
