Depop - anyone use it? Just joined and curious to know what others think.
As the title says - have just joined and would like to know what others think of it. I've found it a tad confusing so far but am hoping it will get easier with time.

Never using EVRI again!
Sold an item for £5 plus £3 postage. Not received. Evri photo "proof" was of the parcel being left on a doorstep of a very different (closed) front door (I can see the correct front door on StreetView). Spent ages going through the complaints and claims procedure, uploading every tiny little thing Evri demanded, and…

Ebay protection for buyer?
So on 4 August I made three separate purchases on Ebay, from three different sellers. All three said they used Royal Mail second class for delivery. Two of the items arrived soon afterwards; one is still missing. Because of the timing, I am confident that this is not an issue with RM in my area. What is worrying is that my…

I sold an item on Vinted recently, and the buyer chose Relay which I had never even heard of before, didn't know it was an option.

I'm a private ebay seller. I recently listed a number of my used household items for sale. I check sold prices to get an idea of pricing. Whilst listing, ebay also suggests a price, and shows if your price is low or high on a sliding scale. I've complied with all this and I'm getting a message in my "Manage active…
