Photo Backdrop
Hi I think photos matter a great deal when selling on Ebay and I take care when taking them. I struggle with what to use as a backdrop though, on small items it's easy as I just use a sheet of A4 paper but for larger items I struggle. I'd be grateful if others could share their ideas of what they use. Thanks Ms C

Amazon Store/Credit Cards - How do they work?
Hi folks, I've only ever had a debit card my entire life, never felt the need for a credit card.

Sending to GSP .. Poly bag or box
When I sell clothing within the UK I normally just stick it in a poly mailer and send it off. This morning I have sold an item through the Ebay GSP programme and was wondering whether the poly mailer is adequate, for any possible rough handling on the journey overseas, or should I maybe just stick it in a box. Wine boxes…

new record for RM
I just received an item I bought on ebay 1 year and 2 months ago. It had been posted with a second class stamp. Unfortunately the postmark is smudged.... Checking my ebay cases, I filed an INR in May 2017 and won because the seller didn't respond, which also earned him a neg. His last feedback left/received is over a year…

Charge back help
I sell digital goods on a site and offer paypal as payment, woke up to a chargeback today. Guy says he can't access goods.

Proof you can't even give stuff away

Buying a door lock off eBay, bad idea?
Might sound really dumb but someone is selling a door mortice sash lock as "new" but someone can easily make a copy of the key and burgle your home. Just wondering how so many people buy them as the seller will have you address. I'm guessing most of the sold must be sealed, perhaps i should avoid this one?
