Vinted unilaterally changed clothing sizes this morning without warning
Just be warned if you use Vinted for adult clothing. At some point this morning all the clothing sizes in their drop down menus have changed- they used to use Far East Sizing , so a standard UK size suddenly became XXXL or something, now they have reverted to near UK sizes. This means that most of the clothing is now…

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…

Missing Amazon package
Amazon say that they tried to deliver a package at 8.30pm on 20 December. Well, they didn’t try very hard, because we were in then, and it was only a pack of kitchen rolls, which they normally just drop in the porch and run. The tracking now says: On the way, but running lateDelivery date is currently unavailable Is this…

is it worth trying to sell used DVD/ CD cases on eBay?
Due to lack of space, I recently replaced my CD jewel cases with plastic wallets and most of my DVD cases with plastic folders in ring binders. The amount of shelf space saved is phenomenal but now the spare room floor is covered with the old cases! A friend suggested I list them on eBay but is it worth it? I have hundreds…

DHL issue
I sold a laptop on ebay. I booked a DHL collection via Parcel2go and dropped off the laptop at a drop-off point four days ago. It has not been collected and the DHL tracking shows the premises were closed in the afternoon, which I very much doubt it. Should I collect the parcel and meet the buyer and hand it to him? What…

So much for winning your case if you have proof of delivery!
I always thought that if a buyer opened a case against a seller for non delivery that you were safe if you had tracking showing proof of delivery. I had a buyer purchase one of my items, nothing major £7. He paid on the Tuesday night and I posted Wednesday morning. However, Tuesday lunchtime I get a message ' I want a…

Does eBay live chat work on a weekend or do they take weekends off?
I have an issue with an item I bought. It's a 2 part thing & the first part was fine but I came to use the second part yesterday & discovered it was broken. I only have a few days left before the returns window closes. I contacted the seller immediately but they're out of office until after the returns window closes. So I…

International postage options via ebay label changes
I'm not sure if this will make any difference to the majority of us- but this now shows on my ebay label page: From 5th January, Royal Mail International Signed and Royal Mail Tracked & Signed services will no longer be available for sold items. Labels for these services will be accepted by Royal Mail until 12th January.…

Simple Delivery : wrong weight
I listed an item several months ago, with my postage set as a small parcel, even commenting to this effect in the listing. The item has now sold, but the pre-paid label provided by ebay (using EVRi) gives a maximum weight of 1kg. I measured the weight and it is, in fact about 1.4kg What should I do ? I didn't list as…

Facebook Marketplace - easy to get scammed as a seller?
I don't particularly like selling on eBay. It's a last resort for me for a few reasons - * the fees. * the ease with which a dishonest buyer could screw you over. Thankfully I haven't yet had this in my experience but it's only a matter of time in my opinion. I have some items I'm wanting to sell which people in various FB…

Buyer changed delivery address, what to do in this situation
I posted a parcel to my buyers home address. Sometime whilst on route she contacted Royal Mail and requested delivery to a local Post Office. It states 'In flight address change' on the parcel. The parcel has now come back to me with 'Not Collected' written on it. The tracking shows delivery to the PO requested and says…

Ruining Someone's Christmas
I've been selling online since Ebay was just fields. Every year there's someone's Christmas I ruin. Often because they order something on December 24th and expect it the week before. I've had the usual round of delays and a couple of foul ups my end. I'll start by saying that the majority of people are lovely, even when…

Amazon: no drop off an option. Collection only???
Never had this before. Any idea why this would be the case? I'm returning an item, ready to drop it off at the post office & then I get hit with a select your collection date - being the only option. And of course the collection has you chained to the house because the timeframe is ridiculously open. Something like 7am -…

Closing for Christmas?
My usual thread about if and when sellers decide to go onto a holiday footing for Christmas. I've not made my final decision yet, but seeing the chaos locally that is Royal mail I might close my business ebay account at least 7 working days before Christmas Eve, I'm seeing far too many items arriving very late but as it's…

Item not required
I ordered a suitcase from eBay and it didn’t arrive by the expected delivery date.I opened a request and was given the option to request a refund. I did this but now they have emailed to say they have just posted it by 24 hour courier arriving tomorrow. I do not want this suitcase now as I have had to buy one elsewhere for…
