Stamps on eBay
So I saw a listing advertising 100 1st class stamps on ebay for about £30. The seller has sold a lot over the last few weeks. Would these be fake given they are so cheap? They are advertised as new. I'm tempted to buy some but I'm worried they'll be fake. I thought I had made a huge saving when I purchased 100 for £65 last…

Buyer changed mind and refused delivery
I recently sold an item on eBay and have found out today that the buyer has refused delivery and it is now being returned to me. What is the best thing for me to do to keep the fees that I end up paying as low as possible? When I refund do I need to refund the original signed for P&P? Thanks

I've just sold some Vue Cinema tickets on eBay and posted the tickets first class recorded this morning to the buyer.

Ebay Suspension
I’ve been suspended by Ebay for breaching buyer rules when all I did was return an item that wasn’t the one I ordered. I raised an eBay refund request and then a PayPal one that closed the eBay one. I’ve used their webchat and been told the decision is final with no appeal. I can’t even phone anyone. I’ve been on eBay for…

Spares/repairs item - unexpectedly high price
Hi - I’ve got a watch on EBay (1970’s/80’s Russian military watch). It’s automatic (hand wound) and I’ve owned it for a few years. It’s recently developed an issue where it winds up and works, but stops unexpectedly for no reason. I don’t have the skill to fix it and was quoted three figure sums to repair it so thought I’d…

Is it worth opening a PayPal case?
Just wondered what anyone else thought? Is it worth me opening up a PayPal case or just suck up the loss as it’s my fault for not checking sooner?

Hi all Generally RM are excellent but recently had an electronic item (a mouse) purchased on eBay and lost. Sent 1st class recorded at local PO. Mouse cost me £30 (comp up to £50).
